    Ep 43: Around the Enneagram Circle: Reflections on Embracing Wholeness

    In this final reflection of our Shadow Work & the Enneagram Lines series, we step back from teaching to share more personally. Having journeyed twelve weeks around the whole Enneagram circle—exploring the shadows associated with each type, the gifts of its connecting lines, and the invitation toward greater wholeness—Rev. Nhien and other members of the CPE facilitation team (Aliyah, Jill, and Macha) offer their own reflections on what this journey has awakened in them. Together, we give thanks—for this community, for the courage to turn toward what we have exiled, and for the season of renewal now opening before us. We close in a spirit of blessing, entrusting all we have discovered to the deeper wholeness that has always been ours.

    Ep 42: Enneagram Lines: Living Pathways for Integrating the Shadow

    In this Week 11 reflection on Shadow Work & the Enneagram Lines, we step back from the individual types to take in the whole. Beginning in original blessing, we explore how identity organizes around a single gift while other dimensions of our wholeness fall into shadow. Rather than "good" or "bad" directions, the Enneagram's connecting lines become living pathways revealing where life is already inviting us toward our own exiled wholeness. Journeying through the Body, Heart, and Head Centers, we discover how the shadow speaks through projection and how what we judge most quickly in others may point toward parts of ourselves waiting to be welcomed home. We close in Centering Prayer, discovering that integration is not about becoming someone new, but about reclaiming the wholeness that has always been ours.

    Ep 41: Type 7: The Shadow of Freedom—Avoidance and the Courage to Stay

    In this Week 10 reflection on Shadow Work & the Enneagram Lines, we conclude our journey through the Head Center—and around the entire Enneagram circle—with Type 7 and the shadow of freedom, where the sincere love of possibility and aliveness can gradually become organized around avoidance. Through the Enneagram as a map of consciousness and contemplative practice, we're invited to notice where we reach for the next experience, leave before our lives have ripened, or quietly outrun pain—and to discover that the one freedom the false self resists is the freedom to stay. This reflection opens a path toward integrating the energies of points 5 and 1—recovering depth, focus, and sustained presence, along with principle, discipline, and the capacity to see things through—and the felt sense that the abundance we have been seeking is not waiting somewhere ahead, but is already here. Please consider taking a few moments before, during, or after this talk to notice where you are reaching for the next thing—and what it might be like to stay, just a little longer, with whatever is actually here.

    Ep 40: Type 6: The Shadow of Security—Fear, Projection, and Inner Authority

    In this Week 9 reflection on Shadow Work & the Enneagram Lines, we continue our journey through the Head Center with Type 6 and the shadow of security—where the sincere desire to discern what can be trusted can gradually become organized around fear and projection. Through the Enneagram as a map of consciousness and Centering Prayer as a contemplative practice, we're invited to notice where we search for certainty, demand guarantees, or look for the danger "out there," and to discover the deeper invitation beneath it all: not certainty, but a living faith—and the recovery of an inner authority that was never entirely outside of us. This reflection opens a path toward integrating the energies of points 3 and 9—recovering confidence and decisive action, grounded presence and peace, and the felt sense that we are held within something larger than our fears. Please consider taking a few moments before, during, or after this talk to notice where you are searching for certainty—and what it might be like to welcome the feeling that is here and meet this moment in faith.

    Ep 39: Type 5: The Shadow of Understanding—Scarcity and the Return to Life's Fullness

    In this Week 8 reflection on Shadow Work & the Enneagram Lines, we enter the Head Center and explore Type 5 and the shadow of understanding—where the genuine gifts of perception, depth, and clarity can gradually become a refuge from a world that feels intrusive or depleting. Through the Enneagram as a map of consciousness and Centering Prayer as a contemplative practice, we're invited to notice the ways we may withdraw, ration ourselves, or substitute comprehending life for actually living it. This reflection opens a path toward integrating the energies of points 8 and 7—recovering embodiment, grounded vitality, wonder, abundance, and a felt trust in the fullness of life. Please consider taking a few moments before, during, or after this talk to pause, open your palms, and gently receive the fullness of what is already here.

    Ep 38: Type 4: The Shadow of Authenticity—Specialness and the Embrace of the Commonplace

    In this Week 7 reflection on Shadow Work & the Enneagram Lines, we explore Type 4 and the shadow of authenticity—where the sincere search for identity, meaning, and self-understanding can gradually become organized around specialness. Through the Enneagram as a map of consciousness and Centering Prayer as a contemplative practice, we're invited to notice the ways we may become preoccupied with what is missing, unique, extraordinary, or not yet fully realized. Together, we'll explore how the movements toward points 1 and 2 invite greater responsibility, grounded participation, and open-heartedness toward others. Along the way, we discover that authenticity may not emerge through endless self-examination, but through fully inhabiting the life that is already ours.Please consider taking a few moments before, during, or after this talk to pause and contemplate the sacredness of ordinary life.

    Ep 37: Type 3: The Shadow of Worth—Performance and the Return to the Preciousness of Being

    In this Week 6 reflection on Shadow Work & the Enneagram Lines, we explore Type 3 and the shadow of worth—where identity can gradually become fused with achievement, image, effectiveness, and performance. Through the Enneagram as a map of consciousness and Centering Prayer as a contemplative practice, we’re invited to notice the ways we may shape ourselves in order to feel valuable, successful, admired, or enough. This reflection opens a path toward integrating the energies of points 6 and 9—toward greater trust, inter-being, grounded presence, and the rediscovery of our inherent worth beneath all the doing. Please consider taking a few moments before, during, or after this talk to slow down and gently notice what begins to arise from simply being.

    Ep 36: Type 2: The Shadow of Love—Self-Abandonment and the Return to Receiving

    In this Week 5 reflection on Shadow Work & the Enneagram Lines, we explore Type 2 and the shadow of love—where care, helpfulness, and relational attunement can gradually become fused with identity, approval, and the fear of abandonment. Through the Enneagram as a map of consciousness and Centering Prayer as a contemplative practice, we’re invited to notice the ways we may lose ourselves in relationship, perform love, or struggle to receive directly. This reflection opens a path toward integrating the energies of points 8 and 4—recovering grounded directness, emotional honesty, authenticity, and the courage to remain connected to ourselves while loving others. Please consider taking a few moments before, during, or after this talk to open your heart to being held and beheld by Divine Love, and gently notice what begins to arise.
