Spirituality for the 9 types:

1- Type One’s journey is to embrace the inherent perfection in the world and in ourselves.
2- Type Two’s journey is to reclaim freedom from the tyranny of a world that only loves and approves of them if they fulfill the needs of others.
3- Type Three’s journey is to avoid making life into tasks.
4- Type Four’s journey is to realize that being whole and complete comes with acceptance and appreciation of what is here now in the present moment.
5- Type Five’s journey is to reconnect with feelings and move forward into life-giving energy.
6- Type Six’s journey is to regain faith and trust in self, others, and the world.
7- Type Seven’s journey is to welcome all of life as it exists in the present moment – fear, pain, sadness, boredom and limitation, as well as pleasure, joy, excitement and options.
8- Type Eight’s journey is to embrace innocence and approach each situation with fresh eyes, appreciating that everyone has his or her own truth.
9- Type Nine’s journey is to become awake and alive to themselves, particularly in the face of discomfort.

Resonating Triads: Engaging the World

The harmony triads, a term developed by co-founder of the Narrative tradition David Daniels, encompass three equilateral triangles which allow for each type to have a connection to each center of intelligence. Helen Palmer and Marion Gilbert further developed this material using the language of power, blend, and flow to speak to patterns of how types engage with the world.

• Power types (2, 5, 8) — engage energy and intensity: how much to let in, how much to hold back, and how much to let out.
• Flow types (1, 4, 7) — focus on idealization of how things ought to unfold, and what happens when reality doesn’t cooperate.
• Blend types (3, 6, 9) — work with boundaries and autonomy, seeking to stay with the self while taking in others.

TUESDAYS OCTOBER 6 - 27 : Do you want to dive into the numerous triads of Enneagram to build greater awareness and deeper connections with others? Join host Allison DeHart along with Micky ScottBey Jones, Adam Bailon, and Christopher T. Copeland to explore the Enneagram triads.
