Candidate Qualifications

Each application will be carefully reviewed by Conscious Leadership faculty to determine the appropriateness of the program for that particular individual, and appropriate supplemental reading materials may be assigned to some students in order to address their unique needs.

Acceptance into the program is heavily weighted on the applicant’s character and emotional and spiritual maturity, which is assessed through a written application; a summary paper; and an in-person or telephone interview.

The Conscious Leardship Institute is designed for people who have some or all of the following qualifications and qualities:

• An openness to “try on” or practice new values and perspectives.
• A curiosity about how science, psychology, sociology, adult development and learning theories have influenced our views of modern day organizations and leadership.
• An appreciation for diversity and sensitivity to those whose lifestyles or faith perspective is different from our own.
• A willingness to share from one’s own experience and an openness to learn from the experiences of others.

Building healthy community is an important part of the One Spirit experience. Applicants are expected to demonstrate the ability to function as part of a community. This entails a commitment to emotional and spiritual integrity, honest communication, and responsible speech and behavior.
