Exploring Personality in the Spiritual Journey: Nine Panels of Types Speaking for Themselves
A Narrative Tradition Workshop led by Sandra Smith, M.Div., Certified Enneagram Consultant

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 and SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 - 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day St. James Center for Spiritual Formation at 205 N. 4th  St. Baton Rogue.

What is my greatest obstacle to my deepest prayer? What stands between me and my experience of the Divine? I do, of course. Which begs the question, "Who am I?"... a foundational theological question.

The Enneagram Personality System names type-specific paths to a compassionate heart, as well as the barriers that each personality encounters on the journey to wholeness. The power of the Enneagram is that it names the fears that bind us and identifies filters of perception that blind us to the love and compassion present in each moment. Get more information here
