PAMELA. FUHRMANN
Pamela recognizes the relationship between personal development and creating a sustainable future. With this understanding, she finds enhancing self-awareness and fostering relationship with the full self, the external ‘other,’ and the natural world fundamental to transforming the dominant paradigm and generating a ‘new’ story. She encourages a focus on knowing one’s self while simultaneously imagining beyond one’s self to a larger relational and holistic paradigm. Through her work as a coach, facilitator, nature-based guide, and writer, she creates spaces for inquiry, exploration, and dialogue on these realizations and their implications individually and collectively.
Through her studies, Pamela has expanded her instinctual connection to the feminine in art, literature, and myth to focus on the attributes of the archetypal feminine in relationship to consciousness development. Her multidisciplinary perspective evolved over 25 years of experience in the field of leadership development, her graduate studies (adult learning, development, and coaching; analytical and eco psychology; and mythology), and ongoing acquisition of knowledge in ecowellness, along with her insights from extensive travel and engagement in various cultures. As a social entrepreneur, she brings her work forward as Co-founder, with Cam Danielson, of The Conscious Leadership Institute and The Anima Mundi Project, and as Curator at The Feminine Principle.
She has worked with many organizations such as Aditya Birla Group, Hollard Group, Ingersoll-Rand, Schneider Electric Industries, SCOR and various regional non-profits. In addition to her extensive international work, Pamela has lived in France and England with current residences in the Netherlands and the US.
Pamela’s graduate studies earned her an Ecopsychology Certificate (Pacifica Graduate Institute, 2019), an Organizational Development and Leadership Coaching Certificate (Fielding Graduate University, 2016), MA and PhD degrees in Depth Psychology and Mythology (Pacifica Graduate Institute, 2012), and an M.Ed. in Educational Psychology (Indiana University, 2006). She has also received training in Forest Bathing (2021), Leadership Circle Collective Leadership Assessment (2020), Immunity to Change (2017), Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (2013), Coaching with a Developmental Perspective (2012), and the Leadership Circle Profile (2010).
Pamela lives primarily in Amsterdam and finds coherence in reading and long walks, particularly in the landscapes of nature.
