The Enneagram
The Enneagram is a very ancient spiritual tool, developed over centuries and very popular in spiritual circles today. It helps us to meet the Lord. It does this by helping us recognize the blocks, the biases and the compulsive ways we have of looking at life and which ultimately prevent us from meeting the God within.
The Enneagram helps us to know ourselves and to read and receive reality objectively. Today, because there are many religious movements in the world, knowledge of self is profoundly necessary.
“No one can know God who does not know him/herself.” Meister Eckhart:
Dates: April 7, 14, 21, & 28, 2008
Time: 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
