Enneagram part 1 - Through personality to spirit - led by Karen Webb
 
The Enneagram is a beautifully accurate model of human personality and spirit. Each of the nine types has its own unconscious habits of perception which in turn create typical emotional concerns and behaviour patterns. Combining the wisdom of ancient sacred tradition and modern psychological insight the model enables us to harmonise our own lives and understand others better. It fosters spiritual unfolding and helps understand the predictable changes of personality under conditions of stress.

Enneagram - False Identity - led by Karen Webb
 
Participants need to have completed part 1 and be confident of their Type. The course explores the key
psychological props that automatically generate the subjective point of view of your Type: Identification;
Payoffs and Secondary Gains; Spiritual materialism; and Mirroring (positioning yourself so others reflect your false identity back to you). How we get stuck, and how to unstick ourselves! Meditations, panels, group work and pair exercises. The oral tradition has its own distinctive style, and Karen Webb is one of the country’s leading teachers in this tradition. She trained with Helen Palmer and has taught for over 15 years.

Creation Spirituality - led by Gordon Jeff and Dorothy Nicholson
 
Creation Centred Spirituality looks at the world which God created and saw that it was ‘very good’. It is a very positive and life-enhancing way of looking at the world and our place in it under God. Coming from the oldest Wisdom tradition of the bible it has been re-kindled more recently by Matthew Fox. The four paths will be explored through a variety of input and group and individual exercises: the Via Positiva (delight, joy awe), the Via Negativa (silence, letting go, suffering, grief), the Via Creativa (creativity) and the Via Transformativa (compassion, celebration, justice-making). Gordon Jeff and Dorothy Nicholson both have wide experience of parish ministry and spiritual direction training. They regularly lead workshops at Sheldon.
