Winging It: The Common Sense Guide to the Enneagram for Pastors

The Enneagram has gotten a lot of popular attention in recent years, but Facebook quizzes and memes don’t come close to capturing its complexity, richness and wisdom! The Enneagram is rooted in an ancient, dynamic system for understanding ourselves (and others). It can lead us to deep self-awareness and personal transformation, helping us discover our true selves, beyond our ego and default behaviors. The nine ways of experiencing and being in the world articulated by the Enneagram, help us live beyond our knee-jerk, default reactions and behaviors, and engage the world, ourselves, and our faith with more compassion and understanding.

For those of us who work in ministry, the Enneagram gives us useful insights into our own leadership, the teams we work with and the people we serve. In our time together, we will explore both the complexities of the Enneagram, and the applications to ministry it offers. Whether you are already knowledgeable about the Enneagram or completely new to the system, this retreat will further your understanding of the Enneagram system and how it works. We will explore well beyond identifying your own Enneagram type, looking at how to apply Enneagram wisdom in practical ways to your work in ministry.
