Experiencing Spiritual Freedom

• In Experiencing Spiritual Freedom, we work on relaxing the automatic reactive contractions that separate mind and body from the Inner self. This provides greater access to the qualities of the open heart identified by traditional Enneagram teaching as the Virtues. 

• We will engage in mindfulness practices, self-reflection, panel sharing, movement, art exercises, and more to experience the spiritual dimensions of the Enneagram that are outside the automatic patterns of our type. This will bring us greater peace and freedom in life, work, and relationships as we deepen our capacity to be present to what is and receptive to what is greater.

• The Franciscan Renewal Center in Paradise Valley portrays an expansive vista of surrounding mountains and desert beauty, creating the perfect container for this work.

• Through inquiry exercises, meditation practices, dialogue, and panel interviews, you will:
• • Discover practical ways to work through the automatic reactions of your type and relax the contraction that occurs when you become reactive
• • Explore the open-hearted qualities of the virtues, including Serenity, Humility, Honesty, Equanimity, Nonattachment, Courage, Constancy, Innocence, and Right Action
• • Experience more receptivity and responsiveness to the Holy Ideas of Love, Faith, and Hope as well as that of your Type
• • Open more easily and frequently to the grace, presence, and joy in your life

• With a strengthened inner observer and a more integrated body-mind, we awaken the capacity to experience the essence of the qualities known in the Enneagram work as the Holy Ideas (or Greater Knowing) and Virtues (or Qualities of the Open Heart).

• We welcome and encourage all spiritual backgrounds, perspectives, and identifications.
