SUMMARY:Mindful Silence | Austin\, Texas
DESCRIPTION:MINDFUL SILENCE:\nTHE HEART OF CHRISTIAN CONTEMPLATION\n  \n\n \nHOMILY SERVICE\nThe Church of Conscious Harmony\nAustin\, TX\n  \n\n\n\n \nMindful Silence really couldn’t be more timely. In some ways our society is spinning out of control. People are unhinged from the center and ground of being. This makes them ripe for the graces found in contemplative spirituality. On the other hand\, secular mindfulness is answering the anxious minds of many. But people of faith long for more. They want to link their meditation practice with their faith tradition. This is where Mindful Silence comes in. It helps Christians in particular\, but seekers from all walks of life in general\, to connect the needs of their body\, mind\, and heart with a wellspring of spiritual depth found in the Christian contemplative tradition.\nMindful Silence is rich with themes of the spiritual journey like “Discovering Darkness is Light\,” Finding Liberation by Discernment\,” and “Unknowing to Know.” Each chapter introduces the reader to a trusted teacher in the Christian contemplative tradition as well as historic prayer practice.\n  \n\n\n\nService Schedule\n\n\nSunday  | May 26\, 2019\nPlease arrive at 10am. Homily will begin at approximately 10:15am. \n10:00 AM – 10:50 AM

SUMMARY:The Sacred Enneagram Workshop | Austin\, Texas
DESCRIPTION:An Exploratory Enneagram Workshop in Austin\nThe Sacred Enneagram: Finding Your Unique Path to Spiritual Growth\nAn Exploratory Workshop with Chris Heuertz\n\n \n\n  \nHave you ever asked yourself the quintessential human question of identity\, “Who am I?” Most of us spend a lifetime trying to figure out who we are and how we relate to others and God. \nUnfortunately\, in the process of forming an identity\, we succumb to building up lies and illusions around our sense of self that only lead us further away from who we truly are. But the Enneagram offers a bright path to cutting through the internal clutter and finding our way back to who we are created to be. \nBased on the nine classic archetypes of human character structure\, the Enneagram exposes the nine ways we lie to ourselves about who we think we are\, illustrates the nine ways we get lost\, and reveals nine ways we find our way home to our True Self and to God. \nWhether you’ve heard of the Enneagram or not\, this workshop is for anyone who’s interested in learning more. \nWhat is the Enneagram?\nAs a sacred map to our soul\, the Enneagram is a compassionate tool\, sketching out possibilities and opportunities\, pointing us back to our True Self. \nThe Enneagram explains the “why” of how we think\, act\, and feel. The Enneagram helps us come to terms with our gifts as well as the addictive psychological patterns that tether us to our greatest interpersonal\, spiritual\, and emotional challenges. \nWhat can the Enneagram do for me? \nCompared with other self-exploration profiles and assessments\, many have found that the Enneagram takes self-awareness deeper. \nUltimately\, the Enneagram reveals our best\, truest self with its potential to heal a world in need. As a tool for spiritual awareness\, the Enneagram moves beyond simple rendering of each type\, to illuminating a path to develop our identity and spirituality. \nFrom the Enneagram-curious to the seasoned lifelong enthusiast\, The Sacred Enneagram one-day is for anyone who cares about nurturing a deep spirituality rooted in self-awareness. This workshop offers an innovative way of re-imagining the usefulness of the Enneagram that is tremendously practical. \nTopics Covered in the workshop will include:\n\nWho Am I? Simple tools to identify your personal type and how to make sense of your Enneagram test results.\nWhere Does the Enneagram Come From? A brief history of the Enneagram offering in-depth background on the conflicted origins of the Enneagram from Egypt to South America and beyond.\nHow Do I Learn to Grow in Discernment? Clear explanation of how the Enneagram is a fractal of perpetual triads with specific focus on the Intelligence Centers and Harmony Triads.\nWhy Do I Think\, Feel\, and Act in the Ways I Do? Introducing the basics through a curated summary of the nine types to help identify your personal type and make sense of your Enneagram test results. This includes your healthy and unhealthy behaviors\, why you became the number you are\, your fundamental needs\, basic fears\, passions\, fixations\, and invitations to spiritual growth.\nWhat is the Shape of my Tragic Flaw and How Do I Grow with It? An explanation of the passions of the Enneagram to help understand how your habits act as coping mechanisms and how can you overcome them to be more whole.\nWhy Do I Get Stuck Personally\, Professionally\, and Spiritually? An examination of the Enneagram’s conflict avoidance styles and social styles with useful suggestions for practical application.\nWhat is the Most Effective Way for me to Grow Spiritually? The Sacred Enneagram workshop offers practical guidelines for how to enlist contemplative prayer practices for each type.\n\nRegister Here Now\n\n\nLearn more here: “What I’ve Learned from the Enneagram” \nOrder a copy of The Sacred Enneagram: Finding Your Unique Path to Spiritual Growth now! \n\n                      \n                               \n \n \n Register Here Now\n \n       \n\nAbout Chris Heuertz: Chris has spent his life bearing witness to the possibility of hope among a world that has legitimate reasons to question God’s goodness. Chris has taught the Enneagram all over the world (in places like Morocco\, Thailand\, South Africa\, Indonesia\, and New Zealand) and is the author of the upcoming book\, The Sacred Enneagram: Finding Your Unique Path to Spiritual Growth. \nOriginally from Omaha\, Nebraska\, Chris studied at Asbury University in Kentucky before moving to India where he was mentored by Mother Teresa for three years. While living in India\, he helped launch South Asia’s first pediatric AIDS care home\, creating a safe haven for children. \nIn 2012 Chris and his wife Phileena launched Gravity\, a Center for Contemplative Activism. \nNamed one of Outreach magazine’s “30 Emerging Influencers Reshaping Leadership\,” Chris is a curator of unlikely friendships\, an instigator for good\, a champion of collaboration\, and a witness to hope\, Chris fights for a renewal of contemplative activism. \n[Enneagram Illustration by Elnora Turner.

SUMMARY:Enneagram for Couples | Omaha\, NE
DESCRIPTION:Romantic notions have people thinking that once they find “the one” relationships are smooth sailing. In actuality\, that’s when the hard work begins. Communicating\, facing past issues\, setting boundaries\, building and sustaining trust\, and navigating problems as they emerge in your relationship requires constant effort. With the help of the Enneagram\, a powerful and insightful tool that can help identify your unconscious and subconscious motivations\, this workshop will allow you to understand yourself more objectively and  compassionately so you can bring the best of ourselves into our relationships. (This workshop is geared toward intimate relationships\, but is also useful for family members\, friends and colleagues.) \nThis 6-hour interactive workshop will focus on: \nUnderstanding your type. After enrolling in this workshop\, you will receive access to the Enneagram Institute’s RHETI® test which you will complete (and receive results from) prior to the workshop. Chris and Phileena will give background on the 9 Enneagram types\, discuss common themes\, familiar tendencies\, typical temptations and positive traits of your specific type. \nForming and maintaining healthy personal relationships. With the knowledge of our dominant type and the type of our loved one\, we can embrace our unique roles and perspectives in the relationship\, have increased compassion toward one another\, and grow together in the areas of lifestyle habits\, rules of engagement\, communication style and conflict resolution. You will also learn mindfulness practices for couples and exercises to help access your heart’s intelligence. \nWorking with the Enneagram for spiritual development. The Enneagram is different from other personality profiles in that it links to past wounds and the patterns that led to adaptive strategies which our Enneagram type is fortified around. Being aware of and loosening the grasp of these coping mechanisms allows us to align our intentions and actions with personal growth and spiritual development. \nInvestment is $235 per couple and includes your RHETI® test from the Enneagram Institute; a copy of The Sacred Enneagram by Chris Heuertz; and light refreshments mid-way through this 6-hour intensive with Chris and Phileena. \n  \nMore about Phileena and Chris Heuertz:\nAfter 20 years of grassroots work in some of the world’s poorest slums\, red light areas and places of intense human suffering\, Phileena and Chris Heuertz have reflected on what it takes for communities to maintain a vibrant\, growing spirituality in the face of human need by integrating faith-filled spiritual practice with modern daily life and service. Gravity\, a Center for Contemplative Activism exists to nurture the integral connection between contemplation and action. Gravity grounds social change in contemplative spirituality\, to do good better\, by facilitating contemplative retreats\, spiritual direction\, and enneagram consultations. \nLearn more at www.gravitycenter.com

SUMMARY:Grounding Retreat | Farmington\, Minnesota
DESCRIPTION:This is a private Grounding Retreat for the Upper Room faith community. \nGrounding retreats are helpful for people who are new to contemplative spirituality. But whether you are a beginner or have been on the contemplative path for a long while\, this retreat will root your soul more deeply in the ground of being. Experienced contemplatives know that we always remain a beginner in the unfolding path of reality. \nDrawing from the Christian contemplative tradition\, retreatants explore history\, methodology and practice\, have the opportunity to debrief experiences of contemplative prayer\, and discover implications for daily life and faith. \nRetreatants leave Grounding retreats more centered and grounded in their identity\, with a deeper understanding for how to integrate their inner life of contemplation with their outer life of activity. \nIf you would like Phileena to host a private retreat for your community\, please click here to complete the host invitation form.

SUMMARY:Excavating Essence: An In-Depth Enneagram Exploration | Omaha\, Nebraska
DESCRIPTION:The Sacred Enneagram: Excavating Essence\nA Two and a Half Day\, In-Depth Enneagram Exploration in Omaha\nOnce you understand your Enneagram type as a path to transformation and wholeness\, what’s the next step?\nHow do you continue your journey of growth?\n\n \n\n  \nAt this point\, you might know the answer to the question\, “Who am I?” Perhaps the Enneagram’s answer to this question has helped you relate to others and God. \nBut has this exploration left you curious? Are you itching to learn more about the nuanced subtleties of this ancient wisdom tool? Are you ready to be left with more questions than answers? This workshop is for everyone who is familiar with the Enneagram but ready to go deeper into its beautiful\, mysterious intricacies. \nOver the course of the weekend\, Chris will provide a rare introduction to the Enneagram’s Instincts and Subtypes\, an advanced elaboration of the Enneagram’s Passions and Fixations\, and some of the most accessible material on the Enneagram’s Virtues and Holy Ideas. \nThis workshop will be more of a discussion than a teaching. We hope you’ll come ready to engage with questions\, wrestle with frustrations\, and ponder the graces of this ancient wisdom tool. \nTopics in this workshop include:\n\nInstincts and Subtypes – Learning to observe our innate impulses as they relate to the Enneagram’s instinctual drives\nThe Holy Ideas – Working with Oscar Ichazo’s notion of the Holy Ideas as psycho-catalyzers for clarification of consciousness\nWhat are the deeper dimensions of the Passions? – Understanding the Passion is our necessary first appeal towards reconnecting with Essence\, while understanding how we experience it in each of the 3 Intelligence Center\n\n  \nRegister for This Event\n  \nSchedule: Friday 5:30 – 8pm\, Saturday 9:30 – 5pm\, Sunday 9:30 – 12pm \nCosts:  Non-refundable\, $225.00 registration \n\n\nNote: Registration includes a copy of The Sacred Enneagram: Finding Your Unique Path to Spiritual Growth but does not include meals or accommodations.
