The 250+ graduates of the 12 week course on the Enneagram will now have the opportunity to come together to share their experiences of living into their unique way of being in the world with one another. These gatherings which will be offered monthly both in the daytime and evenings beginning in August and continue through December. We will build on the knowledge gained discussing in greater depth what it means to be in the heart, head, or gut triad to how we are progressing in dealing with the numbers we go to for security or in stress and so many other facets of using enneagram knowledge to grow more into the person God created us to be. Let’s come back together to continue the journey!

WHEN: Tuesdays, 3-4 p.m. April 6 - 27

The Enneagram Journey is a prerequisite for this class.

To grow spiritually we must be willing to look at ourselves honestly and truly know ourselves. Enneagram work helps us to recognize and name our ways of operating in the world, in ways that are both attractive and unattractive. Many of our habitual ways of engaging life are explainable by our Enneagram Triad – Gut, Heart or Head. In this class we’ll use our Triads as the starting point for engaging our spiritual work.
