    The Stations of the Cross

    We hope that these prayers will be a powerful companion on this Lenten journey and suggest you listen to this meditation while walking as they are traditionally experienced. You are also invited to pause between stations to extend this prayer session as long as you like. We are grateful to The Rt. Rev. Frank and Victoria Logue for writing these beautiful prayers and for recording these stations. And to The Rev. Jane Gober who organized this reading and added her voice to the recording session.

    Run the Race - Run of Lament

    Podcast Series: Run the Race - Meditations for Movement Course Instructor: The Rev. Kristen Ostendorf  In This Episode: This visioning exercise follows the advice Paul gives his followers in 1 Thessalonians 5: 17-18: to pray without ceasing. Following this pre-movement meditation, a walker, hiker, or runner will write a prayer that follows a traditional format of Christian prayer - called a collect. This collect can speak to the concerns in your heart, no matter what they are. This exercise will help you create a "prayer for your pocket" that you can take on your hike, run or walk, whether it be a prayer of gratitude, joy, lament, or other concerns. For more examples of collects, see https://www.bcponline.org/, p. 810 for a variety of prayers that can be used on various occasions.  Full course page including introduction video and additional resources here: https://www.thehiveapiary.com/run-the-race Music by Dario Durbé – released under CC-BY 4.0. www.dariodurbe.com ------ Support The Hive by becoming a Patreon member: https://www.patreon.com/thehiveapiary Visit our website and join our Membership Community! thehiveapiary.com Subscribe to the Hive's email newsletter for more great content: https://bit.ly/thehiveemailsubscribe Join the Hive's Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheHiveGroupSpiritualityandWellness Follow the Hive on Instagram: @thehiveapiary Get in touch: thehiveapiary@gmail.com

    Episode Six: From Striving to Receiving

    A Return to Essence, Receptivity, and the Sacred Invitation of Presence Podcast Series: The Enneagram Map to Your Deeper Self: A Book Club Series Host: Alicia Divers | Somatic Practitioner & Enneagram Teacher Guest Author: Sandra Smith  In This Episode: In our final episode, we take a step back from the individual types and return to the deeper invitation of this work: to move beyond type and toward Essence. Alicia guides us through Sandra Smith's reflections on resistance and receptivity—how striving shows up in each of us, and how presence becomes the sacred ground for transformation. Rather than fix our type, this episode invites us to meet the patterns with compassion, return to our bodies, and soften into something truer: the receptivity that lives beneath all our efforting. You'll learn: Why striving—though well-intentioned—keeps us locked in type How receptivity opens the doorway to spiritual experience Why body-based presence is essential for transformation What Sandra's PAUSE Process offers for inner work (and how to explore it further) A closing benediction for each of the nine types—an offering of encouragement for the road ahead Whether you're just beginning your Enneagram journey or seeking to deepen it, this final episode invites you to rest in the truth that your growth doesn't begin with striving—it begins with allowing.

    Episode Five: Mind Clarity and the Search for Inner Ground

    Types Five, Six, and Seven – Navigating Fear, Trust, and Inner Freedom Podcast Series: The Enneagram Map to Your Deeper Self: A Book Club Series Host: Alicia Divers | Somatic Practitioner & Enneagram Teacher Guest Author: Sandra Smith  In This Episode: This week, we step into the Head Center—Types Five, Six, and Seven—and explore how each of these types navigates fear through thought, planning, and imagination. Alicia guides us through Sandra Smith's reflections on the deeper strategies Head Types use to seek safety—and how those strategies can soften when met with presence. Rather than pathologizing fear, this episode invites listeners to see it as a sacred doorway: one that, when tended gently, opens into groundedness, trust, and joy. From the Five's quiet withdrawal to the Six's loyal vigilance to the Seven's search for stimulation—we explore how each type can return to inner steadiness, not by thinking more, but by staying with what's already here. You'll learn: Why fear is central to the Head Center—and how it lives in the body How Fives can move from withholding to engaging How Sixes can return to self-trust, even in uncertainty How Sevens can abide with the moment rather than chase the next thing Why clarity comes not from control—but from grounded presence Whether you lead with a Head Type or love someone who does, this episode offers a compassionate lens on anxiety, thinking patterns, and the somatic pathways back to enoughness. Reflection Question: What does fear feel like in your body—and how might you practice trust, even in uncertainty?
