Webinar (online Zoom)How to Love Better: An Enneagram Study: We all know that we are to love others like we love ourselves - but other people can be so annoying! And sometimes we really struggle with even liking our own selves. The Enneagram is an ancient system of personality types that can be used to help us better understand ourselves and others. With the Enneagram in one hand and the Bible in the other, we will learn how to love ourselves and love others better.
When Life is Like a Labyrinth
Webinar (online Zoom)Walking labyrinths is an ancient prayer and meditation practice. For Christians, the posture of giving oneself prayerfully to a labyrinth walk invites and evokes closeness to the Holy in a full body experience. Often entering a labyrinth replicates being on a pilgrimage. In fact, labyrinths were built inside churches, or on church properties, for such a purpose: to offer a mini-pilgrimage experience when one could not avail them self to travel or go on an extended pilgrimage. But what if someone does not have access to a prayer labyrinth… perhaps they them self might be the labyrinth?
