The Enneagram can be an invaluable tool for us as we grow in our self awareness and how we relate to God and to others. This is facilitated experience for 6–8 people is for people ready to do the inner work that learning our type invites us to. It’ll involve listening attentively to ourselves and one another. This isn’t for beginners but rather for those who want to take what they’ve learned about the Enneagram and apply it in a deeper way to their life with God.
