On July 27, 2012, we sadly announce the passing of Grandfather/Maestro Tlakaelel (Francisco Jimenez Sanchez), a revered Mexica-Tolteca Elder, teacher, guide, and guardian of oral traditions. More information is available from the SEED Institute.

Tlakaelel lived into his 90s, dedicating his life to learning, teaching, and honoring ancient traditions. He generously shared his profound knowledge with both Indigenous and non-indigenous communities.

We are profoundly grateful for his life and enduring legacy. He will be honored at the upcoming Wisdom from the Origins Conference, September 13-17, 2012, in Albuquerque, NM.

This short video captures highlights from the 2014 American Society for Public Administration (ASPA) Annual Conference in Washington, D.C. At the invitation of Nancy Foye-Cox and with support from Sally Gutierrez, I moderated a wisdom circle of women ASPA leaders. I also attended the keynote by Dr. Bernice Sandler, "the godmother of Title IX," and celebrated Nancy Foye-Cox receiving the Marcia P. Crowley Award for service to the Section on Women in Public Administration (SWPA).

Our shared friendship—mine, Sally's, and Nancy's—exemplifies the power of women supporting women in the workplace, challenging the notion that they do not. The video features music, *Frammenti*, by Andrea Carri.

This video presents a sample from the "Origins from the Wisdom" conference, held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in September 2012. Produced with Sustainability Action Media (SAM) by Ruth Ann Barrett of EarthSayers.tv, it is drawn from seventeen hours of live streaming.

The video features three excerpts from the live stream, highlighting presentations by Szuson Wong, Gregg Braden, and Marianne Williamson.

Live video streaming is recommended for extending a conference's reach without significantly increasing its carbon footprint. Hybrid meetings are a fiscally and environmentally responsible element of any sustainability strategy.
