REPLAY: Richard Rohr on Getting Over Your "Self" with the Enneagram [S04-007]

Описание: As we continue to celebrate reaching over 11 Million downloads, I’d like to revisit my interview with Fr. Richard Rohr. I first encountered the Enneagram when I was a graduate student at a conservative seminary. While on a weekend retreat I came across a copy of Fr. Richard Rohr’s book, Discovering The Enneagram: An Ancient Tool for a New Spiritual Journey. In that book, Richard describes the traits and the underlying compulsions of each of the nine basic Enneagram types. Based on my life experience and what I’d learned in my training to become a counselor, Rohr’s description of the types blew my mind. They were uncannily accurate. I felt sure I had stumbled on an amazing resource, not only for Christians but for all people. Little did I know, that 25 years later, Richard and I would be friends and the Enneagram would become the central focus of my work.

In this episode, you will learn:

(1) How Richard discovered the Enneagram
(2) How to break the shackles of self-doubt with self-compassion
(3) What exactly is the true self vs. false self
(4) Why the Enneagram can help to identify the true-self
(5) How we can use the Enneagram on a daily basis as a framework, or blueprint, for spiritual formation

Richard also offers words of encouragement for and caution for each Enneagram type.
