2017 Clergy Spouse Retreat

Introduction to the Enneagram: A Tool for Self-Discovery and Spiritual Transformation

The Enneagram, an ancient and newly discovered tool, can help us answer questions and so much more. It represents nine distinct strategies for relating to self, other and the world. Each of the nine strategies has a different pattern of thinking, feeling and acting that comes from a deeper inner motivation. The introduction to the Enneagram will focus on its use as a tool for understanding ourselves and those who are important to us.
