Dear Ones -
Registration for the event with Suzanne Stabile should be open within a few days. I’ll let you know or you can check for yourself on the Ordinary Life Website. To do so, click here.
The title of her time with us explains it all:
The Path Between Us
The Enneagram and Relationships
She will be with us from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday, September 30. She will also return for the Ordinary Life hour that Sunday.
If you are unfamiliar with the Enneagram, it is a personality typing system that is used by most spiritual directors to aid in spiritual growth and understanding of one’s Self.
I have asked Brooke Summers-Perry to come and use the Ordinary Life hour on Sunday, September 10 to do a good introduction to the Enneagram. You will want to be sure to attend this time.
I called the time in Ordinary Life this week -
The Joy, Freedom, and Terror of Unknowing
Though we value advancing in knowledge and technique in almost every other area of life, there is a resistance to new insight, information, and knowledge when it comes to the religion we embrace as well and to new understandings of how and why we have become the persons we are. There are, however, new insights and information in both arenas. In this talk I mostly spend time talking about the reactive ways we have adapted to our experiences of growing in the face of feeling either overwhelmed or abandoned - to both.
That’s a brief summary of this week’s time in Ordinary Life.
The audio version of the talk has some significant differences from the text I spoke from. You can find the text of the talk, the presentation slides and the audio version of the talk using the links below.
Our podcast, “In Between,” can be accessed through the Ordinary Life web site.
