Enneagram Monthly Study Group

Enneagram Monthly Study Group
with Carl Marsak, M.A.

“The idea that we each possess an essential nature that is qualitatively different from our acquired personality is basic to sacred psychology.”

“Sacred Psychology is the ancient art of psycho-spiritual alchemy. It transforms the 'lead' of the psyche into the 'gold' of integration and higher consciousness.”

--Helen Palmer

The Enneagram is an ancient and sacred nine-pointed symbol that describes nine distinct personality types. Study and practice of this profound, powerful and non-sectarian system helps one to: 1) Identify and transform mental, emotional and physical habits; 2) Integrate psychological and spiritual life; 3) Increase both self-knowledge and compassionate understanding of others.
In this ongoing study group we will explore the basics of the symbol and system. Then we will learn how to practically apply the knowledge and wisdom that can be discovered within the nine types and their interrelationships in many areas of life, including: work, relationships, education, parenting, health and healing, aging and end of life concerns, psychological growth and spiritual development. It will include teachings, guided meditations, breakout groups (if there are enough participants) group discussions, and Q&A. The group is designed for both beginning and intermediate students.

Who should attend this event? Anyone, of any age, who is genuinely interested in psychological growth and spiritual development is welcome to join us (and please pass on this link to interested friends, family members and co-workers)!

Note: Although this group is not deliberately designed to be psychotherapy, medical treatment or spiritual counseling, many who study the Enneagram do walk away with some insights, healing and spiritual inspiration. What the group offers is a working knowledge of a magical, mysterious and powerful map, tool and vehicle for personal and collective transformation, one that is increasingly available and popular (a recent Google search yielded over 10,000,000 hits!).
