Four Seeds of Compassion Flavored by Enneagram Type

In four sessions, we will explore feelings that arise when your Enneagram type’s Essential Qualities and Virtue generate energetic movements that open your heart bringing about responses of compassionate presence and action. We will also explore feelings that arise from employing type-based patterns and strategies that maintain your type’s motivation which closes the heart generating energetic movements that bring about responds that lack compassionate presence and action. The aim is to learn how to shift energy through awareness to open your heart in order to respond with compassionate presence and action.

 The Enneagram is a powerful spiritual and personal development tool that represents 9 strategies (types) for understanding yourself, others, and the world. Its focus on what motivates you to think, feel and respond the way you do makes it unique. Understanding your and others' motivations heightens trust and develops positive relationships. The Enneagram provides a path to Wholeness. It is the journey of unraveling who you were created to be.

 The 4 Seeds of Compassion are attributes that when attention is focused on sprout in hearts the kind of love that motivated Jesus to live a life of loving kindness. In living a life of loving kindness, Jesus not only modeled what it means to be truly human, but he entrained the hearts of those who followed him to live a truly human life of loving kindness as well.

Facilitator Julie Honsey is a BCF and a certified coach in the Enneagram Narration Tradition.

Boundless Compassion Book Study

Group gatherings enrich the experience of reading Boundless Compassion: Creating a Way of Life by Joyce Rupp, as group members benefit from one another’s insights and share in a common cause. Participants are asked to set aside time to read and reflect on each day’s content. Six weekly gatherings correspond with the six themes in the book: Compassion as a Way of Life, Welcoming Ourselves, The River of Suffering, From Hostility to Hospitality, A Thousand Unbreakable Links, and Becoming a Compassionate Presence. At weekly gatherings, group members discuss the Day 7 questions for each theme.
