Intro to the Enneagram

The Enneagram is an ancient tool we can use to learn more about ourselves, and what blocks us in our relationships with God, and with others, and even with ourselves. There are nine different personality types, based on what motivates us, and whether we lead with our heart, head, or gut. Come learn about this powerful tool for spiritual transformation!

The Enneagram, as used today, is a modern synthesis of a number of ancient wisdom traditions. Often called a Tool of Conversion, it separates human personality into nine distinct personality types, based on where we get our energy, or validation. Do we make important decisions by what’s in our heart, or by using our head and then deciding, or by using our gut (intuition)?

Participants will learn the nine types Friday evening and then have the opportunity to take an online test, in preparation for the Saturday session. Overnight accommodations available.
