LIOS Graduate College of <strong>Saybrook</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s First Graduating Class<br />

The Bastyr Chapel in Kenmore, Washington, was vibrant with color, music, words of wisdom,<br />

joy, and high expectations on the afternoon of Monday, June 21, <strong>2010</strong>, when LIOS Graduate<br />

College of <strong>Saybrook</strong> <strong>University</strong> introduced the 39 members of the Class of <strong>2010</strong> to a world<br />

waiting to test their talents, skills, leadership abilities, dedication, and exuberance.<br />

Photos had been taken, gowns steamed, and last-minute snacks consumed before the procession of<br />

proud faculty and excited students entered the stained-glassed, flower-decked chapel at one in the<br />

afternoon, to the festive piano strains of Pomp and Circumstance.<br />

Systems consultants Rhys Clark and Carol Jakus gave the invocation, which was followed by<br />

the official welcome from LIOS Graduate College President, Sheldon Drogin, Ed.D. Longtime<br />

LIOS faculty member, Cheryl Cebula, then led the assembly in a peaceful and refreshing<br />

“mindfulness blessing,” after which student John<br />

Steven Hinds sang It’s All I Have to Bring Today,<br />

with words by Emily Dickinson, to the piano<br />

accompaniment of his fellow student, Gwendolyn<br />

Eric Rose. The Graduate Student Addresses were<br />

given on behalf of the Leadership and Organization<br />

Development students by Jessica Broughton, and<br />

on behalf of the Systems Counseling students by<br />

Jonathan Herzog; both speakers were selected by their<br />

classmates for this honor. Student Katie Cutler Talbott<br />

blessed those present with a poem.<br />

It’s all I have to bring today<br />

It’s all I have to bring today –<br />

This, and my heart beside –<br />

This, and my heart, and all the fields –<br />

And all the meadows wide –<br />

Be sure you count – should I forget<br />

Some one the sum could tell –<br />

This, and my heart, and all the Bees<br />

Which in the Clover dwell.<br />

– Em i l y Dickinson<br />

Doreen A. Harden-Cato, Ed.D, Executive Director<br />

of First Place School and a LIOS alumna, gave the<br />

moving and inspiring graduation address. She used her own life experiences to illustrate the<br />

importance of putting “service above self.” Following Dr. Harden-Cato’s keynote speech, an<br />

honorary doctorate was conferred upon her by Interim <strong>Saybrook</strong> President and CEO, Robert<br />

Schmitt, Ph.D. (now Dean of <strong>Saybrook</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s Graduate College of Psychology and<br />

Humanistic Studies).<br />

The LIOS students then received their master’s degrees and<br />

red-and-white hoods at the hands of LIOS faculty member<br />

and Fall Program Lead, Diane Schachter, MA.; LIOS Dean,<br />

Dr. Judy Heinrich; LIOS President, Dr. Sheldon Drogin; and<br />

Dr. Vincent Pellegrino, <strong>Saybrook</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s Interim Vice<br />

President of Academic Affairs. “Gratitude Remarks” were<br />

then made in unison by the graduating class, which presented<br />

a monetary gift to LIOS Graduate School’s Scholarship Fund.<br />

After President Drogin’s closing remarks, the enthusiastic<br />

graduates recessed singing a song together as they were<br />

applauded appreciatively by their, families, friends, LIOS staff,<br />

and visiting <strong>Saybrook</strong> <strong>University</strong> dignitaries.<br />

Bastyr’s colorful fountain-centered garden was soon swirling<br />

with laughter and chatter as well as with sunlight scented with<br />

floral perfume as graduates and guests filled themselves with the<br />

delicious confections and beverages provided for their enjoyment.<br />

At last, those enjoying the delightful celebration gathered<br />

the good times and memories about them and departed to share<br />

their blessings with the wider world, having been reminded to<br />

stay in touch! <br />

President’s Message - <strong>Aug</strong>ust<br />

<strong>2010</strong><br />

Excerpt from<br />

President Drogin’s<br />

Graduation Speech<br />

“The very least you can do in your life is to figure out<br />

what you hope for. The most you can do is live inside<br />

that hope, running down its hallways, touching the<br />

walls on both sides.” –Barbara Kingsolver<br />

While both LIOS and <strong>Saybrook</strong> have been around for some<br />

forty years, this marks the first graduation as a result of<br />

our affiliation. <strong>Saybrook</strong> and LIOS were both established<br />

to prepare leaders to meet the<br />

challenges of the 21st century.<br />

These challenges include the<br />

emergence of globalization,<br />

conflicts between cultures<br />

and religions, environmental<br />

disasters, terrorism and<br />

economic chaos.<br />

While we face new fears and<br />

new threats, this is a time of<br />

great promise, opportunity, and<br />

extraordinary possibility. At<br />

<strong>Saybrook</strong> <strong>University</strong>, we are<br />

committed to educating scholarpractitioners<br />

and leaders who<br />

can respond to these challenges by bringing the humanistic<br />

vision to life in new and innovative ways.<br />

LIOS Graduate College Class of <strong>2010</strong>: Our world needs you,<br />

hungers for you, and I firmly believe that, as a result of your<br />

time at LIOS, you have been uniquely trained to meet that<br />

deep hunger in the world. Your work, your job, and hopefully<br />

for all our sake, your calling, is to be a true human being on<br />

this earth.<br />

Warmest regards,<br />

Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or<br />

Community?<br />

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1968)<br />

Keynote speech delivered to LIOS Graduate College of<br />

<strong>Saybrook</strong> <strong>University</strong> graduates on June 21, <strong>2010</strong><br />

by Dr. Doreen Cato.<br />

It is with the deepest honor and appreciation for this<br />

opportunity that I stand here to speak before you all today.<br />

I remember standing in the same position where you stand<br />

now –wondering how this new college degree would<br />

help me move forward or at least enhance the work I was<br />

already doing. Even though I had always volunteered in<br />

some capacity in the community, thoughts of<br />

that important work escaped my mind. Yet,<br />

ironically, it was in the capacity of volunteer<br />

service that my new hard-won degree from<br />

Leadership Institute of Seattle (LIOS) had<br />

best prepared me. Both my formal education<br />

and my life’s journey have taught me the<br />

meaning of service above self.<br />

My journey began on June 23, 1963, at the<br />

event that was considered the largest freedom<br />

march before the march on Washington<br />

D.C….and I was there. There were over<br />

100,000 people marching that day, eager<br />

to show their courage and determination to<br />

bring meaningful change to Detroit. I was<br />

fourteen at the time and it was with trepidation that I<br />

ventured into that crowd alone. A woman asked me who<br />

was there with me, and I told her that I had come alone.<br />

She grabbed my hand and stated, “Child –no one is alone<br />

today,” and placed me in line next to her. When the horn<br />

blew we all moved like a wave coming to shore, eager to<br />

hear the words of inspiration from the legendary speakers.<br />

Although I was unable to actually see Dr. Martin Luther<br />

King, Jr., Reverend Franklin, Dr. Benjamin Hooks, or<br />

Mayor Cavanaugh, I could picture them in my mind’s eye<br />

and just knowing they were there made all the difference.<br />

The long walk down Woodard Avenue ended in front of<br />

City Hall with Dr. King looking over the crowd. When he<br />

began to speak, the crowd around me fell silent. At some<br />

point during his speech I heard him say: “It is up to us to<br />

bring about change, but we must first stand up.” This statement<br />

had little meaning to me at the time, but his powerful<br />

words resonated inside of me at a subconscious level. I<br />

remember wanting to keep the feelings of joy I had experienced<br />

that day, finally witnessing people walking together<br />

rather than fighting one another. Joy—something I thought<br />

I had lost. Although I was unconscious of it at the time, this<br />

was the beginning of my journey toward service above self.<br />

The original version of the motto “Service above Self” was<br />

“Service, not Self” a statement first made by Mr. Pinkham,<br />

a Rotary member in Seattle. Then, in 1989 at the Council<br />

on Legislation, “Service above Self” was established as the<br />

principal motto of Rotary, because these words best convey<br />

the philosophy of unselfish volunteer service.<br />

In 1970, Robert K. Greenleaf, in his widely acclaimed<br />

book, The Servant as Leader, stated: “The servant-leader<br />

is servant first… It begins with the natural feeling that<br />

one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice<br />

brings one to aspire to lead. That person is sharply different<br />

from one who is leader first, perhaps because of the need<br />

to assuage an unusual power drive or to acquire material<br />

possessions…The leader-first and the servant-first are two<br />

extreme types. Between them there are shadings and blends<br />

that are part of the infinite variety of<br />

human nature.”<br />

“The difference manifests itself in the<br />

care taken by the servant-first to make<br />

sure that other people’s highest priority<br />

needs are being served. The best<br />

test, and difficult to administer, is: Do<br />

those served grow as persons? Do they,<br />

while being served, become healthier,<br />

wiser, freer, more autonomous, more<br />

likely themselves to become servants?<br />

And, what is the effect on the least<br />

privileged in society? Will they benefit<br />

or at least not be further deprived?”<br />

Greenleaf’s statements ring true. The greatest example of<br />

his description that I see today is the recent signing of the<br />

Healthcare Reform Act. Regardless of where you stand on<br />

this issue—listen to my story:<br />

It begins at First Place, a pre-K to sixth-grade school and<br />

social service agency that works with families at risk or<br />

facing the reality of homelessness. At this school, all of the<br />

fourth, fifth, and sixth-grade students are taught to become<br />

advocates for issues that are important to them. The entire<br />

educational philosophy at this special school is framed<br />

around social justice and the elimination of oppression. It<br />

is my belief that, by finding one’s voice, an individual can<br />

begin the process of eliminating oppression from one’s life.<br />

My students learn that the process of voicing their positions<br />

on important issues to those who can make change happen<br />

will transform them from victims to survivors. One such<br />

student was eleven-year-old Marcelas Owens who recently<br />

stood proudly by President Obama. With his grandmother,<br />

Gina, standing by his side, Marcelas’ voice was heard<br />

before Congress as he related the story of his mother, who<br />

had taught him to speak his truth. Congress and the entire<br />

world heard Marcelas. After he spoke he was bombarded<br />

with accusatory and slanderous statements from individuals<br />

in the media who took opposition to his story. Yet Marcelas<br />

held his head high because he had spoken the truth. His<br />

courage and determination to make sure that other children<br />

(continued from page three)<br />

like him would not lose their mothers due to a poor healthcare<br />

system as he and his two sisters had lost theirs. Marcelas<br />

epitomizes the motto of “Service above Self.” Marcelas’ sisters<br />

still attend First Place and Marcelas has moved on to a public<br />

school close to his home—yet his strength and unselfish love<br />

linger in our halls.<br />

“Where Do We Go From Here?” was the title Dr. King chose<br />

for the last book he wrote and the meaning of his question still<br />

haunts me—even now. And I wonder, are we walking towards<br />

chaos or towards community? The question remains: with all of<br />

our skills and knowledge, how will we, as a community and as<br />

individuals, answer Dr. King’s final question? For as Dr. King<br />

himself said in 1963, we must first stand up whenever we are<br />

able—whether we stand up locally, nationally, or globally.<br />

I was given the opportunity to stand up on a global level to<br />

work with a group of volunteers transforming communities<br />

in Kenya and Ethiopia. In both countries, I worked to provide<br />

technical assistance to the educators and administrators. I also<br />

learned from them, and took the fruit of those lessons back to<br />

First Place. In Ethiopia, for example, I learned to be even more<br />

humble. Our group was working in a tiny rural community that<br />

lacked the amenities Americans frequently take for granted,<br />

such as running water and electricity. Here, using Marvin<br />

Weisborg’s technique for finding common ground within a<br />

community, our group worked in an African village in which<br />

we were the only four English speakers. First, we worked to<br />

learn what was important to the most disenfranchised group<br />

there, the women, who married as early as eleven years old.<br />

Then we provided a micro-loan to these African women. Upon<br />

returning the following year, we learned that these astonishing<br />

women had established a childcare center that now serves<br />

eighty-two children, provides employment for six villagers,<br />

including a man, and allows five other women to attend school.<br />

Our long journey to the Bale Region of Ethiopia economically<br />

transformed this poor village, and spiritually transformed those<br />

of us who had the opportunity to be catalysts for this growth.<br />

It is unnecessary, however, to travel so far to make a difference.<br />

You can start with your own community regardless of its<br />

socioeconomics or size; in reality, poverty is often found in<br />

the middle of the most affluent communities, just hidden from<br />

view. Reaching back to pull others through is how we can<br />

actually experience the joy that “Service above Self” brings.<br />

Transformation begins with you. The service you give to others<br />

does not have to be a major or highly visible act. I have one<br />

more story for you:<br />

A young child who was very ill was taken by her family and put<br />

into a hospital to receive care. Because of her illness she had<br />

no choice but to live there in that hospital for two years. She<br />

celebrated two birthdays in the hospital where she lived, and<br />

when this child was finally released, she was five years old and<br />

returned into a family she no longer really knew. The nurses<br />

at the hospital would always say, “That’s your mother and<br />

your father,” but after two years of her young life spent in the<br />

hospital, these words held very little meaning. Then, once she was<br />

home and in her new surroundings, the adults around her wanted<br />

her to pretend that she had never left and punished her each time<br />

she showed any institutional behavior. At the age of nine her<br />

mother died just when this child was reestablishing a bond. Her<br />

father did not want to see his four children go into foster care,<br />

and so he sought help from the community. This search led him<br />

to a family who was considered influential in the community.<br />

The woman in that family became the legal guardian to the four<br />

children who had lost their mother. There was only one problem<br />

that the father was unaware of: the husband of the legal guardian<br />

was a pedophile and was given a key to the little girl’s home<br />

to watch over the four children while their father worked the<br />

late shift. For eight years this man tortured the little girls in that<br />

family. By the age of sixteen, the little girl ran away from home,<br />

but continued attending school.<br />

It was there that an English teacher who was unaware of her<br />

situation reached out to her. He saw that she was doodling and<br />

not paying attention, but instead of taking the paper from her and<br />

destroying it, he made a deal with her. He said, “I will give you a<br />

box of colored chalk and the blackboard in the back of the room<br />

to draw anything you want in exchange for the assigned English<br />

paper turned in to me by the end of the day.” She looked at him<br />

with suspicion but decided to trust him anyway. He kept his word<br />

and brought in the colored chalk, and after class let her draw on<br />

the blackboard. What he did not know was that she really could<br />

draw. After three days she had created a life-sized mural of three<br />

basketball players: two looking out into the distance, and the third<br />

sitting on the bench, his hands folded in anticipation of getting<br />

back into the game. The teacher was surprised at the creativity of<br />

the artwork and proud of his student. For two months the teacher<br />

left the mural, just as it had been drawn, up on the chalkboard<br />

and brought many people in to see it. Later, the student who had<br />

drawn the mural returned home with the resolve to become like<br />

the English teacher. She was so inspired that, six years later, she<br />

became an art teacher working in the<br />

inner city so that she could reach back<br />

and pull others through. That little girl<br />

was me!<br />

Where we go from here is continuing<br />

to make a difference in all of our<br />

communities through servant<br />

leadership. By acting as stewards and<br />

change agents, whether in your family,<br />

in your work environment, in nature, or<br />

out in the global community, your new<br />

skills and knowledge can bring about<br />

transformation. Each of you has special<br />

gifts to give others. “Service above<br />

Self” is what creates an enlightened<br />

community.<br />

Thank you!<br />

Dan Leahy<br />

Gives Keynote Speech<br />

I was asked to give an<br />

“inspirational” keynote at<br />

the recent Leadership and<br />

Management Institute of the<br />

National Association of Child<br />

Care Resource and Referral<br />

Agencies (NACCRRA) held<br />

recently here in Seattle.<br />

While I’ve given a presentation or two on leadership,<br />

this is the first time I’d been asked specifically to be<br />

“inspirational.” And I found it difficult to prepare. What do<br />

I know about inspiration? And what’s its role in leadership?<br />

What helped in the end was to put my ideas into a simple<br />

formula:<br />

C=L+T+I Change=Leadership+Threat+Inspiration<br />

It seems to be that leadership is fundamentally about<br />

change. It is action in response to a clear sense that<br />

something’s not right, that there is a better way. And,<br />

according to my value system, that “better way” has to be in<br />

service to the health of the whole, not the benefit of the few.<br />

The capacity to recognize the need for change is not limited<br />

to the formal organizational management structures. It is<br />

often those on the line or the margins, the “membranes” of<br />

our social systems, that are first aware and best informed of<br />

the realities of the “threat.”<br />

If the capacity to recognize the need for change is distributed<br />

throughout the system, then the action of leadership must<br />

be as well. In spite of our desire for a “Hero” to save us<br />

from our “sins,” no one person has a clear image of the<br />

whole or the creative capacity to deal with the complexities<br />

we face. The small acts of leadership, of behaving in ways<br />

that embody the desired change, need to be modeled and<br />

witnessed throughout the system, from the margins to the<br />

middle and back again. Leadership to save a system is a<br />

communal act.<br />

The actions taken need to be in response to a threat to the<br />

system’s viability. These actions must both effectively show<br />

the danger and demonstrate an effective response. Sounding<br />

the alarm without modeling the response is useful, but it is<br />

not leadership. And it seems that in most of our systems,<br />

be they social or environmental, the threats have reached<br />

“biblical proportions.”<br />

The level of threat is intimately connected to inspiration;<br />

the greater the threat, the greater the need for inspiration. It<br />

seems to me that the most compelling inspiration is called<br />

out of us in the darkest moments. Perhaps in the “darkness”<br />

it is easier to distinguish the “light” which serves as a<br />

beacon to a better way.<br />

I think these acts of courage in the darkness are expressions<br />

of calling, or vocation, which Frederick Buechner refers to<br />

as “the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep<br />

hunger meet.” And courage is contagious. Clarissa Pinkola<br />

Estes, PhD; author of Women Who Run With the Wolves,<br />

expressed this eloquently in her post shortly after 9/11 titled<br />

“Do Not Lose Heart.”<br />

“Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once,<br />

but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is<br />

within our reach. Any small, calm thing that one soul can<br />

do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor<br />

suffering world, will help immensely. It is not given to us to<br />

know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to<br />

tip toward an enduring good. What is needed for dramatic<br />

change is an accumulation of acts, adding, adding to, adding<br />

more, continuing. We know that it does not take ‘everyone<br />

on Earth’ to bring justice and peace, but only a small,<br />

determined group who will not give up during the first,<br />

second, or hundredth gale.<br />

One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to<br />

intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul.<br />

Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times. The light of<br />

the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal<br />

fires, and causes proper matters to catch fire. To display the<br />

lantern of soul in shadowy times like these is to be fierce<br />

and to show mercy toward others; both are acts of immense<br />

bravery and greatest necessity.<br />

Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully<br />

lit and willing to show it. If you would help to calm the<br />

tumult, this is one of the strongest things you can do.”<br />

So, now I’m wondering. I think many who find their way<br />

to LIOS are responding to a sense of “calling.” I have vivid<br />

memories of individual moments of “souls on deck” in a<br />

grad program. I remember a closing campfire in the old<br />

Summer Program when each student slowly left the circle<br />

with their individual candle, walking back through the<br />

woods to LOMA’s main hall, forming a line of light out<br />

from the program and into the world.<br />

I wonder what each is doing now. How have you taken your<br />

light into the world? Are you still a “soul on deck?” What<br />

change are you in service of? In dark times such as these it<br />

would be comforting to know that the lights have not gone<br />

out, that the “souls” still shine. There is proper matter yet to<br />

catch fire.

volunteers for taste of lios<br />

Greetings, Alumni and Current Students,<br />

As most of you already know, I am always looking for<br />

volunteers to help host our Taste of LIOS events. I would<br />

love to have you come and share your LIOS experience with<br />

prospective students.<br />

Our inquirers are also very interested in what LIOS alumni are<br />

doing with their degrees. Most of our students come to us via<br />

referrals from our LIOS community of alumni and students, so<br />

a Taste of LIOS is also a great opportunity to visit with faculty<br />

and get a feel for what is new or changed in the program.<br />

If you can come to any of the following evenings, let me know!<br />

Interview with Cheryl Cebula<br />

Judy Heinrich, LIOS Dean, sat down with Cheryl to talk about her<br />

time at LIOS, her decision to leave and what the future holds.<br />

When did you begin teaching at LIOS?<br />

Cheryl: I started in the fall of 1994. I taught the first eight years<br />

in the Systems Counseling track and the last seven in Core.<br />

Overall, I probably have taught about 500<br />

LIOS students (which also means I have<br />

had about 500 teachers).<br />

What brought you to LIOS?<br />

I had been teaching at Antioch and was in<br />

a consult group with Donald Williamson<br />

who was on the LIOS faculty at the time.<br />

I brought him in to do a guest lecture at<br />

Antioch. There was an opening in the Systems<br />

Counseling track and Donald gave<br />

Tim [Weber] my name. I applied and was<br />

offered the position. I still remember the<br />

first module at Alderbrook. By the middle<br />

of that module I was so moved by what<br />

was happening that I was in tears. I had<br />

never experienced that kind of education<br />

with the intense focus on the development<br />

of the practitioner. I found myself wishing<br />

that I had had that kind of education.<br />

What has been the most rewarding<br />

part of your work at LIOS?<br />

There are two things. One is my collegial<br />

relationships with the faculty. I<br />

experienced creativity and also a shared<br />

sense of purpose about creating the best<br />

experience for students. This type of<br />

education has been a profound experience<br />

for me. Many of my closest friendships<br />

were forged in the heat of working at<br />

LIOS. The second thing is being in the<br />

classroom when something we are talking<br />

about in an academic sense actually happens<br />

in the room and we end up working<br />

with it in real time and the learning goes<br />

“live.” There is a kind of brilliance to it.<br />

What led you to the decision to leave LIOS?<br />

There are really two things. The first is how labor-intensive<br />

the work is. There is a level of intensity in the work – module<br />

schedules, preparation, teaching, assessment. I have never been<br />

able to strike a good work/life balance while working at LIOS.<br />

And I have become increasingly exhausted. The teaching took<br />

up too much of my life. Getting my weekends back is going<br />

to be a deep pleasure. The second issue was being diagnosed<br />

with breast cancer last June, which was followed by a series of<br />

surgeries. This really made me ask myself how I want to use the<br />

energy I have. And after 15 years of teaching I’m feeling a little<br />

itchy and looking for something different.<br />

Do you know what that “something different” looks like?<br />

I’m interested in continuing to combine meditation and<br />

mindfulness and yoga with my practice and continuing to explore<br />

mind/body medicine and interpersonal neurobiology. There is<br />

so much happening in those fields right<br />

now. I’m interested in the potential of<br />

working with people who’ve had a cancer<br />

diagnosis. I’d like to explore a place for<br />

myself in that area of practice. I want to<br />

be doing the work in the field right now<br />

rather than teaching about it. I’m going<br />

on a meditation retreat in <strong>Aug</strong>ust and I<br />

plan to use this time to be as spacious<br />

with the ambiguity about next steps as I<br />

can. For fifteen years my life has been<br />

organized around the academic calendar<br />

– and I am both hungry for and fearful<br />

of this time. I don’t want to foreclose<br />

on the emergence of something new by<br />

moving quickly into action out of fear.<br />

I’m going to allow myself to be in a place<br />

of ambiguity for awhile.<br />

I will also be continuing my private<br />

practice in Madison Valley where I see<br />

individuals, couples and families. My<br />

practice has continued to evolve, along<br />

with the field of psychotherapy, and I am<br />

incorporating more somatic and bodybased<br />

therapy into my work with clients<br />

as well as Emotionally Focused Couples’<br />

Therapy (EFT). Being a therapist is still<br />

very gratifying to me, and I intend to continue<br />

being a therapist for a long time!<br />

Is there anything else you would<br />

like people to know?<br />

A lot of my identity has been as an educator,<br />

so leaving is not without its tugs.<br />

When I came to LIOS in 1994 I was 42<br />

so I spent the better part of my forties and<br />

fifties here. These 15 years have been<br />

really important to me – being part of something that has so much<br />

heart and soul – being in a community where people (both students<br />

and faculty) are committed to being in a learning relationship. I<br />

think it’s rare and I feel really gifted. In many ways, I “grew up”<br />

while I was at LIOS, and I do believe I have been changed by my<br />

experience in this extraordinary learning lab.<br />
