Six Sessions—Thursdays at 3pm EST
February 23—March 30, 2023
DEEP LENT
Lent provides a time for self reflection and for pursuing a deeper relationship with Christ. Holding the ancient wisdom of the enneagram alongside traditional Lenten themes, Rev. Dr. Rhonda Abbott Blevins will guide participants in a six-week, online exploration of how the enneagram can be a powerful tool for transformation and spiritual growth, especially when paired with the Christian narrative.
Participants will:
Understand how Lenten austerity can help free us from ego fixations
Grasp a basic understanding of the nine enneagram personality types
Explore the three personality centers alongside the three temptations of Christ
Consider the solitary (and sometimes lonely) nature of the spiritual journey
Gain an understanding of enneagram wings and tri-types
Discover enneagram type stress responses alongside Jesus sweating drops of blood in the Garden of Gethsemane
Learn type-specific spiritual practices for greater freedom and oneness with Christ
Apply learnings toward a plan for continued growth using the process enneagram
A SNEAK PEEK AT EACH 75-MINUTE Session:
Session 1: “Into the desert.” Participants will explore the idea of giving up personality fixations for Lent alongside the story of Jesus entering the wilderness to fast and pray for forty days. Session includes an introduction to the enneagram and an overview of the nine types. Options for type discovery will be presented to those who do not know their enneagram type.
Session 2: “Tempted in every way.” Participants will explore the three enneagram centers alongside the three temptations of Christ in the desert. Session includes lost childhood messages for each type.
Session 3: “Not welcome.” Participants will explore the solitary nature of the spiritual journey alongside the story of Jesus returning home where he was no longer welcome after claiming his deepest truth. Session includes enneagram wings and tri-types.
Session 4: “Drops of blood.” Participants will explore stress responses for each type alongside the story of Jesus sweating drops of blood in the Garden of Gethsemane. Session includes enneagram instincts and learning to respond versus react.
Session 5: “That they may be one.” Participants will explore growth responses alongside Jesus’ prayer during the last supper “that they may be one.” Session includes spiritual practices for each type that can lead to greater freedom.
Session 6: “Take up your cross.” Participants will consider the enneagram as a tool for “taking up our cross” to follow Christ. Session includes integration of previous sessions toward creating a plan for continued spiritual growth following the process enneagram.
