Enneagram, Part III:
Whistling In the Dark

with Jennifer Manlowe

Enneagram is a Greek word – ennea (meaning "nine") and gram (meaning something written or drawn) – and refers to the nine points, nine basic personality types.
Enneagram is a Greek word – ennea (meaning “nine”) and gram (meaning something written or drawn) – and refers to the nine points, nine basic personality types.

Based on various traditions over a thousand years old, studying the Enneagram system of psycho-spiritual development gives us an endlessly intriguing metaphor for waking up. Each style has its own natural gifts, limitations, blind spots, and its own distinctive ways of thinking, acting and being. 

In this workshop, we’ll quickly review the basic world-views of each type but this time, we will focus on the overlapping influences of the other eight numbers (EnneaTypes). Together, we’ll discover how each personal style can evolve with awareness or devolve without it. Participants will learn nine separate ways to practice returning to the light of compassionate awareness.

NOTE: : If you’ve not come to the previous workshops, please join us anyway. We recommend that you prepare for the class by taking the free Enneagram quiz (“The Free RHETI Sampler“) and exploring the smartest website.

Enneagram, Part II:
Approaching Shadow and Grace

Enneagram is a Greek word – ennea (meaning "nine") and gram (meaning something written or drawn) – and refers to the nine points, nine basic personality types.
Enneagram is a Greek word – ennea (meaning “nine”) and gram (meaning something written or drawn) – and refers to the nine points, nine basic personality types.

The Enneagram is a tool used to support the work of spiritual transformation by combining ancient wisdom with modern psychology.

Firmly based on the belief that we have gifts that are necessary parts of the whole, Enneagram is simply one tool that can assist us in returning to the person we are at the core.

In this Enneagram workshop we look at the nine Enneatypes in relation to Shadow and Grace — healing and compassion. In simple language, we’ll start to revewl a portrait of each type’s central dilemma and explore specific practices that can open our eyes to our fundamental qualities.

These explorations offer attendees a profound method for bridging the gap — the illusion — between light and dark.

NOTE: It is not necessary for you to have taken the Part I class.
But, in order to make the most of your time, please take the online profile (“The Free RHETI Sampler“) and bring your results to class.

Transformational Inquiry

  with Rev. Tom Thresher, Ph.D.

Transformational Inquiry asks the question:

“What do you want, and
what will you do to avoid getting it?”

It is an intentional process for questioning
the self-serving commitments, core beliefs, and hidden assumptions that keep you from making the changes you say you want to make.

 

Through Transformational Inquiry, you will explore what stands between you and your truly divine nature.
