Interview with Glenn Scarpelli and Jerry Gilden
I was delighted to have the opportunity to interview Glenn Scarpelli and Jerry Gilden for this issue of OMTimes Magazine. Engaging in conversation prior to going live on-air for the radio show, I immediately connected with these two wonderful men. During this joy-filled and enlightening conversation, Glenn Scarpelli and Jerry Gilden share personal stories of their journey into consciousness and their intent for creating Sedona World Wisdom Days as well as some of the speaker highlights for the upcoming festival to be held January 16-19, 2015 in Sedona, Arizona.
We begin the conversation by acknowledging the intent behind the inaugural festival, which was held January 17-20, 2014. Glenn Scarpelli states, “Sedona World Wisdom Days was a thought that turned into a manifestation. It’s very exciting to see when thoughts become things. This was incredibly inspired by the two of us looking at our lives and saying okay, we both have been blessed with so many wonderful lessons and a deeper relationship with That Which Is. How do we express that? How do we give back? How do we put our lives in service? Really, that was where the initial inspiration came for putting on this wonderful event here in such a sacred place as Sedona, Arizona, which is also where we live, and to gather everybody that is part of our community and to welcome those that come in from all over the world to celebrate our inner wisdom.”
