4. Discerning
Leadership Workshop for the Consecrated
(DLW-C)
Pope Francis has made “discernment” one of the key concerns of
his papacy and called upon religious congregations to develop a
culture of discerning leadership. Discerning leadership involves
exercising the service of authority in a synodal, responsible, and
transparent way at all levels (ecclesial, congregational, provincial
and local). ICLS offers DLW-C specially targeting consecrated
men and women with leadership responsibilities in order to train
them in the theory and practice of Discerning Leadership, after
the heart of the Good Shepherd, to become leaders with the smell
of the sheep. (Each year, the workshop will target a specific group
of leaders.) One can apply for this course through google form

5. Contemplating with the Celluloid: A Five-Day Spiritual Retreat with Select Movies
At its very best, the medium of cinema is singularly capable of
evoking deepest spiritual sensibilities of the human soul, making
her confront truth in its beauty and terror, and leaving her
transformed. ICLS offers you a unique and novel opportunity to do
your annual spiritual exercises meditating through the glimpses of
truth, beauty, and goodness that some perennial classic films offer.
Each day, the retreatants watch a select movie and reflect on its
theological-spiritual insinuations in relation to one’s Christian and
religious calling. See the e-brochure for more details. Register via
