This is Enneagram Portland, LLC’s core meeting time and its most popular
program for the continuing student community, often drawing over fifty
students each evening. This year’s 2nd Mondays advanced class will focus
on the spiritual perspective of the Enneagram, and how the nine
Enneastyles manifest the essential spiritual qualities and holy ideas
specifically associated with each type. We will explore the following
questions:
When we relax the compulsions of our style, what are the essential
qualities that naturally arise?
What spiritual experience on life may one type come to know more fully?
What are the ethics and virtues that we bring to situations based on our
Enneagram lens?
What are practices that support each type in knowing their core
spiritual essence?
How can all types know more of these wholesome ways of being?
All types encouraged to attend all classes, which are experiential and
participatory.
You may join the 2nd Monday Community at any time. The class will be
held in a large comfortable room and may include meditation, music,
movement, type panels, reflections and process. In addition, there will
be stories from various world cultures presented by professional
storytellers Will Hornyak and Concetta Antonelli. They will
deepen our understanding of the transformation from passion to essence.
