Glenna Holstein

Playtime in the Garden Program Coordinator

Glenna works at the intersection of community and nature, putting her energy toward efforts in Milwaukee that will nurture connections between people and place, help us live more lightly on the earth, and build the kind of world that she wants her daughter, Ella, to grow up in.

Glenna has over 17 years of experience in environmental education, and is delighted to have been with the Table since "the beginning" -- the very first official gathering in December 2014. From that first day, she connected deeply with the idea of a spiritual community that went beyond the conventions of "church" and is honored to continue to be part of The Table's journey. This position is supported through a grant from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation.
