Who Should Attend




Who should attend ISL?

Now 13 years since I attended ISL, I continue to carry the events/processes of ISL with me daily. I most appreciate the confidence to live spiritually and connect spiritually in various dimensions of my life; maintaining a contemplative attitude in what at times can be chaotic personal/political/professional engagements.
- Tim Metcalfe


Attendance in ISL programs is open to adult men and women; to religious, clergy and laity; to professionals and non-professionals.

A familiarity with the tradition of Christian mystical spirituality and theology, as well as depth psychology, is helpful but not at all required.

The unique emphasis on personal awareness and self-leadership that is integral to ISL's approach to spiritual leadership appeals to all adults who seek further grounding in spirituality, whether for personal or professional reasons.
