ENNEAGRAM AND GROWTH: The dynamic of your personality profoundly shapes the landscape of your spiritual journey. That’s why a spiritual discipline that is effective for one person might not be as helpful for another. Most of us get to a point in life where our normal patterns of thinking and being aren’t working and we feel stuck. We may experience this as separation from God or from the self and as frustrations in our relationships. This isn’t just about behavior, but also what drives us towards certain actions: our intentions and habitual ways of thinking and doing. In recent years many people have discovered the Enneagram personality typology to be a helpful tool for self-understanding and growth. In this practical workshop we will (1) use the vocabulary of the Enneagram to help us explore our core motivations, scripts and fears; (2) reflect on how the gospel might speak life to each personality type;  and (3) consider the kinds of spiritual disciplines that are most helpful to particular personality types. Workshop length: 2-6 hours.

SIMPLIFY: In the deepest sense, simplicity is an invitation to align time and money with what matters most.  How you spend your time is how you spend your life. And how you spend your time is shaped by your financial choices. We were made to flourish and do good in a world full of abundance. Yet many of us feel crunched for time, stressed in our finances or perplexed about what makes life meaningful. There is a trusted path for recovering the life of meaning, freedom and compassion were were created for. This journey invites us to adopt soul practices like gratitude, trust, contentment and generosity and practical skills like time management, goal setting and living by a spending plan.
