Listening Deeply to the Sounds of Saint Andrew’s Abbey

Saint Andrew’s Abbey is a spiritual home for retreatants and the monks who dedicate their lives to work and prayer here. In the Prologue to his Rule, St. Benedict writes “Therefore we must establish a school for the Lord’s service.” Gonzaga University’s School of Leadership Studies has always understood servant-leadership to be at the heart of its mission, an approach to working with others that we inherit not only from the work of St. Ignatius of Loyola but from that of St. Benedict as well.

This 5-day retreat is for alumni of the Gonzaga Organizational Leadership, Communication and Leadership, and Doctoral programs and guests. Dr. Jack Horsman will return to Valyermo to assist Gonzaga alumni to have a generative dialogue about what internal work is an important foundation for servant-leadership in our workplaces and lives. The topics included are:

· The Four Breath Presencing Practice: an integrating holistic practice.

· Humility: Assuming humility is the grounding principle of Servant-leader development, how does/might humility show up in your leadership practice?

· Harmony-Wisdom and Soft-listening: we will explore and experience soft-listening and dialogue about how to use it in your leadership practices.

· Theory U: we will use practices and exercises to experience aspects of the U journey to inform our understanding of Servant-leadership.

Readings as preparation for the retreat will be identified a few weeks before the retreat.

Presenters: Dr. Jack Horsman and Linda Latto, MOL, SPHR, PMP, MCLC
