I love my mornings. And part of my morning practice most days involves contemplative reading of some kind. 

Today while re-reading an Enneagram text I stopped at a quote by Henri Nouwen: “We cannot suffer with the poor when we are unwilling to confront those persons and systems that cause poverty. We cannot set the captives free when we do not want to confront those who carry the keys. We cannot profess our solidarity with those who are oppressed when we are unwilling to confront the oppressor. Compassion without confrontation fades quickly to fruitless sentimental commiseration.” 

I found this to be an important quote to consider. I even challenged my social media connections, asking them “What’s one step you can take today to confront the oppressor?”

My spiritual studies, especially my Enneagram work, has been so life-giving.

I’m excited to have heard from a few of you regarding the next Enneagram group program I’m leading. 

You may be on the fence, unsure of what, exactly, the Enneagram is and why you should be checking it out. Is it a useful tool? An ancient cult? A TikTok trend? 

If you’d like a taste of the Enneagram, in this workshop, you’ll learn more about it as and even get a taste of the different numbers and where you and your personality land. After the workshop, which you’re warmly invited to, I’ll have time to answer any questions you have about the Enneagram or how you can work with me in the future if you’d like to. 

Learning about our personalities and why we do what we do is FUN. It’s also tough to explain the Enneagram in an elevator pitch, but it’s transformed my life as well as the lives of SO many more, so I’ve created this intro as an easy way for you to get a sense of it and whether it’s something you’d like to study further in the future. 

So if you’ve got a little time next week, I’m offering a couple of opportunities to learn more. Or you can learn more about my upcoming program and how to contact me to discuss it and sign up here.

Thanks for reading, and take care!
