Exploring the Enneagram with Acharya Emily Bower & Susan Piver

Using the Enneagram system, we will identify our habitual patterns, and make friends with our strengths and weaknesses.

We all have personal difficulties that we to run into over and over again. Do you ever wonder if there's something you are doing--or not doing--that causes the pattern to repeat? What are we blind to about our own personal style?

Join us in taking a non-judgmental look at the habitual tendencies that block us — not only on our spiritual path, but also in our everyday relationships. Working with the ground of basic goodness in ourselves and others, we will study the Enneagram system of nine fundamental types in order to make friends with both our strengths and our weaknesses.
