The 9 Paths of Manhood
4 Sundays in March 2022
9a-12p Pacific/10a-1p Mountain/11a-2p Central/12p-3p Eastern
Explore and experience how all nine types of men have unique ways of being that we can all employ to be our own best man and to be more fully hu-man and alive.
This is a course on the ways we have as men, using the Enneagram as its foundation. The Enneagram describes that we have different and preferred ways of thinking, feeling and behaving. It is a map to universal inner and outer territories. While we often gravitate to certain regions, we visit them all daily throughout our lives, so every session applies to you! Join this program to find and experience where the map is leading you; all through an exploration with skilled trainers and other men interested in meaningful conversation.
Each individual type’s focus and dynamics may provide wisdom on what supports or thwarts our own development as men. We may find benefit in being in right measure with our own way and the ways of other healthy men, and then find our way closer to Being Our Best Man:
In integrity and good humor, like Type 1 Idealists
Resourceful and genuine, like Type 2 Connectors
Compassionate and truthful, like Type 3 Performers
Sensitive to all and authentic, like Type 4 Romantics
Wise in experience and accessible, like Type 5 Observers
Consciously loyal and courageous, like Type 6 Loyalists
Accepting, patient and expansive, like Type 7 Epicures
Vulnerable, strong and magnanimous, like Type 8 Protectors Empathic, reflective and effective, like Type 9 Mediators
Deep learning and change happens over time and in continuous community.
Discover the universal themes accessible and applicable to us all on the journey of being men.
Expand your community of friends who talk type, character development, men and modern masculinity.
