Christians and the Enneagram: Wisdom or Warning

I recently had an email from a friend and listener with concerns as they had received some negative feedback about the Enneagram and whether she should be using it in a Christian context. This isn't unusual and so I thought I'd invite my P.A.L.s: Paul, Andy and Liz to have a discussion about this and the origins of it all. I hope you enjoy the discussion and please feel free to make any comments or suggestions for other episodes, please email me at ds9@post.com

Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul: A Celtic Guide to Listening to Our Souls.

In this episode I have a conversation with Emma & Rob as we reflect on a book that a small group of us read during Lent. The book is, "Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul" by John Philip Newell and is described as "A Celtic guide to listening to our souls and saving the world." This will be of particular interest to people who re-thinking faith or looking to find a way to rediscover the natural rhythms of life and deepen our spiritual connection with the Creator, each other and the earth.

Enneagram Subtypes: What are they and why are they important?

Subtypes have been mentioned in previous episodes based on Enneagram Types but we have not really explained what they are and why they are important. Hopefully this episode will do that, it mat also lead to further questions to explore. If you have any questions about this episode or any other comments or suggestions about the podcast as a whole, please email me at ds9@post.com [ds9@post.com] Thank you for being here.

A Guide to Journaling and Story Telling

In this episode I move away from the Enneagram and have a conversation with Claire Tomkins on the practices of journaling and story telling as a way of cultivating wholeness. She also mentions three prompts to be used for Journaling, they are: What does my heart want me to notice? What do I want to let go of today? What is life giving for me right now? (the quote I mention in relation to this, is from Howard Thurman) Links to get in touch with Claire are here: https://writeratheart.substack.com/ [https://writeratheart.substack.com/] https://www.fiverubies.co.uk/ [https://deref-mail.com/mail/client/LJfMu5TQcRw/dereferrer/?redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fiverubies.co.uk%2F] https://www.instagram.com/clairetomkinswriter?igsh=OW8wczQ2Y3ptNGVj&utm_source=qr [https://deref-mail.com/mail/client/V1YlEbqu4_U/dereferrer/?redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fclairetomkinswriter%3Figsh%3DOW8wczQ2Y3ptNGVj%26utm_source%3Dqr]
