Event Description
In this two-day workshop, Helen Palmer will bring the Enneagram to life through mini lectures, self-reflection exercises and contemplative practice. Panel representatives of each Type will describe personal barriers and breakthroughs encountered during prayer, while leading meaningful conversation, integrated with practice periods focused on being present to now. The workshop will also briefly touch upon the way of negation and the affirmative way, two bodies of contemplative practice that relax the separating barrier, commonly called sin, that lies between psychological and spiritual experience.
CEUS from the California Board of Behavioral Sciences are available for this training. Please contact Dale Rhodes directly for more information regarding CEUS at 503-295-4481.
