Friday 25th – Saturday 26th October: Introduction to the Enneagram
Led by Revd Dr David Rake. The Enneagram provides a way of understanding human personality and is used in many contexts including spiritual direction. It is a tool to help us on the spiritual journey, helping people grow in prayer and worship, discover their pathway to God and to find inner healing. It helps us understand why we are all different and have characteristic and appropriate ways of doing things. The course runs on Friday evening and on Saturday daytime. Attendance at both Friday and Saturday sessions is necessary.
