A new Enneagram Class will meet on the 1st Tuesday of the month at 6:00 p.m. starting Oct. 4.
Location: in the Session room of the Central Presbyterian Church located next door to the Sweet House.
We will start with Supper. The first one we will provide at no cost to you. Then we will decide together how to handle future suppers: pot luck, send out, or take turns; whatever the group wants.
Sign up here so we know how many meals and participants workbooks to prepare
The name Enneagram comes from the Greek: Ennea is the Greek word for nine and Gramma means something that’s drawn or written.
I like the brief explanation of the Enneagram on the Truity website:
According to the Enneagram, each of the nine personality types is defined by a particular core belief about how the world works. This core belief drives your deepest motivations and fears — and fundamentally shapes a person’s worldview and the perspective through which they see the world and the people around them.
Our core beliefs are not necessarily incorrect, but they can be limiting and operate as “blinders” for people. Understanding our Enneagram type and how it colors our perceptions can help us to broaden our perspective and approach situations more effectively.
Understanding a person’s Enneagram type helps us to see why they behave the way they do. Each Enneagram type has a set of core beliefs that will consistently motivate them to take particular actions and guide them to make certain decisions. Behavior that may seem confusing or contradictory can often be explained when we understand a person’s Enneagram type.
The Enneagram also helps us understand how people react to stress. By describing how each Enneatype adapts and responds to both stressful and supportive situations, the Enneagram shows opportunities for personal development and provides a foundation for the understanding of others.
