Voices of Emergence

Systems entrepreneur and impact investor Dana Ulrike Glatz joins us to explore how capital can flow in service of life—guided by indigenous wisdom, embodied leadership, and alliances rooted in reciprocity.

We trace Dana’s path from a grounded childhood in rural Germany to spiritual initiation in India, through World Economic Forum rooms and into the Amazon—where she’s convening an Ancestral Wisdom Boat journey from Manaus to Belém ahead of COP30. 

Dana shares why true emergence begins in the body; how lineage, silence, and presence shape leadership; what “capital as sacred streams” looks like in practice; and why systemic investing must mimic living systems, move at biological time, and be stewarded by coherent communities.

In this episode:

• Emergence as somatic stillness and co-created field
• Family lineage, post-war trauma, and discerning what to conserve vs. renew
• From impact transactions to systemic investing rooted in trust and bioregions
• Indigenous teachings on balance, shadow integration, and reciprocity
• The resurgence of the feminine and “wise leadership” beyond gender
• Designing finance like nature: cycles, seasons, patience, relationship
• COP30, the Eagle & Condor prophecy, and building an Earth Shield of bioregions

If you’re curious about regenerative finance, embodied leadership, and how alliances can steward capital flows that actually heal places, this conversation is for you.

Voices of Emergence is a podcast about inner transformation and systemic regeneration, hosted by Alex de Carvalho and Rudy de Waele.
