SDI BIPOC Gathering – February 2024
February 22 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm PST
Essence and Enneagram
There is increasing interest in using the Enneagram for Spiritual Direction. Whether a novice or expert in Enneagram studies, our time together will offer experiences of both type and Essence to understand more fully who we are and who we are not.
Observing how easily Essence disappears, we discuss the Ego Ideal, what we believe is our best self, but it’s a false narrative that distances us from Essence. Understanding the ego ideal sets up our understanding of how we engage in “othering,” where we’ve decided that others are different from us! This awareness takes us into DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging) conversations currently front and center in our lives.
This session is for those who identify as Black, Indigenous or a Person of Color who would like to connect with other BIPOC spiritual directors and spiritual companions.
