Self to Lose—Self to Find A Six-Week Series Using the Enneagram Thursdays 11:30AM–1:00PM | March 14–April 18 | Room 308 Facilitators: Emily Wingfield and Sue Allen Lent is a soulful season of self-reflection, and the Enneagram is a fascinating tool giving us words to describe our thoughts, our values, and our inner motivations. March 14 | Overview of the Enneagram March 21 | What Number Best Describes Who I Truly Am? March 28 | The Influence of My Wings and My Arrows March 4 | The Roots of My True Self March 11 | The Layers of My False Self March 18 | Surrendering All of Me to All Of God “The Enneagram is more than an entertaining game for learning about oneself,” writes Christian mystic Betty Skinner. “It is about change and making a turnaround…a turnaround in how we deal with the compulsions we have developed without even being aware of them. It invites us to go beyond… to take steps into the domain of freedom. It points to specific directions for individual growth and for improving relationships with family, friends, and co-workers. Studied carefully and without judgement, it is a powerful tool for reconciliation and self discovery.” This Lenten season, why not commit 90 minutes each Thursday to explore the difference between your adapted self (that you have developed to make it through the world) and your authentic self (who God created you to be)?
