Adult Education Series - "Re-Discovering Yourself: The Ancient Enneagram"

3/24/2020

Fourth Class - the Ancient Enneagram taught by Mo. Rebecca
"Solitude, Stillness, and Silence" 
Join Mo. Rebecca by video for this last class on a topic that is relevant to all of us as we "shelter in place." Right now all of us are unexpectedly having a "desert experience" - and the practices of silence, solitude, and stillness are available to us in an even deeper and more meaningful way during this time.  We will finish our study of our book, "The Sacred Enneagram" by applying the themes of contemplative practice in a way that applies to everyone. Join us whether or not you have read the book!

Third class - the Enneagram taught on video by Mo. Rebecca
This class opens with some reflection from the Bible and prayer related to our current circumstances, briefly summarizes what was taught in the first two classes, offers a more in depth look at some of the nuances of the enneagram and closes with reflection questions as well as prayer suggestions for our church community. NOTE: You may need to turn up the volume of your device; 2. At the end of the video YouTube begins its own choice of another video, but you have a few seconds to click "cancel" before it starts.
