|     WHAT PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS SAY ABOUT THE INSTITUTE FOR SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP �Since ISL, I enter into ministry with a deeper appreciation of my own and others� humanity. I continue to attempt to put words to the conviction that no leader will exert a significant influence until she/he is able to recognize the depths of her/his own light and shadow. I find in my experience that others recognize a leader who has been formed in the school of experience rather than the school of perfection. Wounded healers recognize one another and desire to build a communion of persons from a common humanity.� Mary Waskowiak, S.M., �84 Past President Leadership Conference of Women Religious Silver Springs, MD �As a businessman and searcher, to have been nurtured in the reflective, prophetic ISL experience...to discover a flowing, complex energy - the God-Spirit - within; a deeper sense of the evolving context for business and life contradictions, challenges and obstacles; a keen awareness of the interconnectedness of all people - to be served in the most fully human way possible...for this I am most grateful. ISL has a very practical impact on my life.� Richard A. Beeman, ISL Special Student 1998-Present Vice President, Manager Publication Papers Bradner Smith & Co. Chicago, IL "I found my experience at ISL to be the best integration of spirituality, psychology, body-work, dream-work and scriptural reflection that I have ever been involved in. It was wonderful. I kept learning my need to know myself and to be gentle with all I learn of myself because that is where I meet God." John Czyzynski, S.C.J. �80 Provincial Priests of the Sacred Heart Hales Corner, WI, USA �Taking time to do my own inner journey [was] particularly essential to working in justice areas...to leaving you free to work with others and to challenge the system...so that my compulsions don�t rule. They still do, of course, but I know about it more.� Anne Lane, P.B.V. M. �89 Congregational Leader Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Member, Executive Team International Presentation Association (NGO, United Nations) New South Wales, Australia "The ISL Weekend Program gives me an oasis-time for me to make meaning, explore self-understanding and awareness, and sustain vision and hope." Judy Cauley Planning Consultant "I came to ISL in the fall of 1999, my life in chaos, and searching for the truth. The program is but half over and a certain peace and solitude of heart have enriched my life significantly." Bob Berner Sales and Marketing "Words and phrases such as pilgrim, giftedness, growing edge, called to, contemplative, and felt sense coax me to explore my inner spaces." Shari Dam Lawyer | | ||
