Excerpts of the June 2011 retreat of the IASL with commentary by Andrew and Chris

Chris Saade’s Model of Integra: A path toward inclusive sacred leadership.

The future of the planet depends upon the emergence of a courageous and sacredly inspired group of leaders in every realm. The Academy will fuse together Andrew Harvey’s vision of Sacred Activism with Chris Saade’s model of Spiritually Engaged Leadership. The purpose is to provide the leaders of the future with the mystical, psychological and practical tools they will need for the tremendous work ahead. We are called to birth a humanity united with the divine and active in it’s solidarity with the suffering of impoverished people, abandoned children, abused animals and the Earth itself.

“The romantic spirit is our connection with all the women and men throughout history who refuse to give up their ideals, their sacred longing and their passion. The romantic spirit in us is the fire of the divine fueling our courage and our ability to build a world that is just and sustainable. By accessing and developing the romantic spirit in us not only do we empower our stance in the world but we nurture our dance with each other and our daily celebration of eternal beauty.”
