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 />

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 />

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 />

Faculty Changes–comings and goings<br />
New Roles For Familiar Faces<br />
Going:<br />
Cheryl Cebula has announced that she will be leaving teaching<br />
at the end of <strong>Aug</strong>ust. Cheryl has been the Core Department<br />
Chair and teaches in the Core in the fall program. It is with<br />
great sadness that we say “goodbye” to Cheryl. She has been<br />
an important influence on the lives of many students. She has<br />
brought heart and creativity to her teaching, and in her role as<br />
Core Department Chair, she, together with her colleagues, has<br />
strengthened that department and brought a higher level of rigor<br />
to the first-year work. We will miss her, and we wish her the<br />
best as the rest of her life unfolds.<br />
Coming:<br />
Carol Jakus has accepted the Systems Counseling faculty position<br />
in the fall program. She will be replacing Diane Schachter<br />
who will now be teaching in the Core.<br />
Dan Leahy has accepted the position of Department Chair for<br />
Core. He will continue teaching in the spring program as well.<br />
We’re excited that these two very competent people are stepping<br />
in to help fill the very big shoes of Cheryl.<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 />
