Hi Michael: We enjoyed twice yearly OS retreats in the MA program for 7 years while I worked there, and then I brought it into my small PhD program in cultural recovery and wrote a dissertation with OS as my research "muse".
Angeles Arrien taught at CIIS, and her wisdom on the OS "four principles of detachment" (from her book The Four-Fold Way) was a key in my research. Along with Harrison's palette of Hebrew stories and Kpelle ceremony and Tibetan bardo teachings in his painting of OS. But it hasn't been a constant feature in the larger university. In 2010 and 2011 I cohosted the faculty-staff opening retreat in OS with Heidi Nobantu Saul. This year was the first that we returned to OS for our day of re-gathering before the school year. The MA in Leadership has offered OS in several of their one-week residential student retreats each semester.
