CONTEMPLATIVE ENNEAGRAM
Spiritual Explorers Path
ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
WHO IS THIS PROGRAM FOR?
This program is for you if
-
You are a spiritual seeker with a foundational understanding of the Enneagram who desires a transformational, compassion-based approach to inner work; and/or
-
You are not (or are as yet undecided about) pursuing professional certification, but long for a deep, contemplative Enneagram experience rooted in spiritual community and personal integration.
WHAT IS THE SPIRITUAL EXPLORERS PATH?
The Contemplative Enneagram Spiritual Explorers Path is a 3-module immersive journey designed for those who wish to deepen their own healing and awakening through a whole-person, contemplative approach to the Enneagram—without committing to formal certification.
Whole-person and compassion-based: This program offers a compassion-based approach to transformation rooted in our fundamental wholeness, oneness, and unity. We believe that integration of rejected or shadow parts of our individual and inter-connected selves supports our collective flourishing.
Spiritually Open, Inclusive, and Interspiritual: This program is inter-spiritual and we encourage individuals of diverse spiritual and religious backgrounds to participate. Diverse perspectives, including the perspectives of those who are currently “spiritually curious” or “deconstructing” faith, all enrich our spiritual education and enrichment.
An Intermediate-to-Advanced Enneagram Training: This is not an introductory Enneagram program. By registering for this training, you are confirming that you have basic knowledge of the Enneagram system.
Inaugural Training: Because this is the first cohort of a first-of-its kind program, please anticipate that you’ll encounter both the gifts and challenges (and hopefully much more of the former) of this being the “first” of its kind. If you’re prepared for–and perhaps also excited by–this invitation, read on!
