Wendy PALMER, Founder LE

|
Wendy is a highly respected teacher and leadership coach. Based in the San Francisco Bay area, she shares her wisdom gathered through over 45 years of mindfulness practice and holds a sixth degree black belt in Aikido . Wendy leads client programmes, LE Retreats and Coach Training at global locations. She teaches with compassion and humour about body intelligence and how to become more connected with one’s strength, dignity, and warmth in order to be more “noble, awesome and shiny.”
She is the author of four books - Dragons and Power, Leadership Embodiment, The Intuitive Body and The Practice of Freedom. |
Wendy arrived in California in 1968. She encountered Aikido - a non-violent Japanese martial art which incorporates the philosophy of "extending love and compassion especially to those who seek to harm others." When she first saw the movements of Aikido, Wendy “felt a sense of coming home – a returning – like waking up and remembering the part of myself that hungers for essential contact with the universe.”
Wendy had grown up around horses and Aikido has a similar way of working with intensity and power, grace and beauty, that she remembered from being around horses. She realised that Aikido provided a way that she could study with her body what she had been studying with her mind. Aikido helped her to train her body to be more relaxed and open, more inclusive in stressful situations. In 1976 Wendy co-founded the Dojo Aikido of Tamalpais, where she is chief instructor.
Leadership Embodiment is the culmination of Wendy's lifework to bring the principles of the two traditions so important to her, Aikido and mindfulness, into everyday life in a way that everyone who is interested can access them. It evolved out of what she was experiencing in Aikido practice and on her meditation cushion as a way of taking these tools "off the mat and into the world of everyday physical, emotional and psychological stresses.”
Wendy serves as an Advisor on the Council on Sport and the Embodied Spiritual Practice of the Fetzer Institute, which sponsors projects to integrate mind, body and spirit in the United States, Jamaica and Africa, raising the awareness of the power of love and forgiveness to educate, inform and inspire people to live to their greatest potential.
In the words of one of her former Aikido students, “Wendy brings personal depth, deep compassion, and a tremendous body of knowledge to her work. Wendy is a living treasure.”

Why We Keep Practising Leadership Embodiment?
I knew all these things but my body was on a different program because I'd lose my temper and freak out even though I knew better. Aikido was a way I could start to train my body how to be more relaxed, open and more inclusive in stressful situations. There's a wonderful Bruce Lee quote that goes, "Under duress we don't rise to our expectations we fall to our level of practice." If leaders begin to access this more altruistic part of themselves - this more creative part, then children will know that's possible. And I think we are making some great contribution to our culture going forward. |
