"With God's help, I shall become myself."Soren KierkegaardGet ready for Transformation with a tool that can help you become your best self.The Enneagram of Personality Styles is a psychological-spiritual system for mapping the nine personalities. We all take reality in through a filter. It is said that "we don't see things as they are but see them as we are." Our brand of seeing can bring us clarity and also, blind us to what keeps us from fully becoming ourselves. The Enneagram is a psychological explanation of what the Bible describes "the fall of man" although it is not primarily psychological. It is a holistic Christ-centered approach to discipleship, health, wholeness and transformation.Although you will discover your "style" or "type," the system is not intended to put anyone in a box. You can have the same number as another person and unique. No individual is one type alone. We are made up of a dominant type, and two numbers on either side called "wings." "The Harmony Triangles" on the Enneagram point to the way of stress, decline, and disintegration or integration and growth. This system, therefore, is very individual based on the individual journey of each person and their willingness to yield to God.We will describe many characteristics of the personality in detailing the "types" style. In describing the journey of the soul, we will use the true self/false self-terminology.True Self (giftedness) emerges from union with God and has nothing to do with performance. It was the non-acquired self. It is our essence, our reflection of the God-image. The virtues describe the true self.False Self (woundedness) is the psychological self that is made up of past and present, the family of origin issues, nature, nurture, free will. It is your coping style of self. The vices describe the false self.Transformation (redemption) is bringing the wounded false self to God and being healed by the same thing that has wounded you (much like inoculation).ENDORSEMENTS FOR ENNEAGRAM PERSONALITY STYLES AND MOTIONS OF THE SOUL WORKSHOPS AND Books"Clare Loughrige's Enneagram materials have been invaluable to me as a spiritual director. Her knowledge of, and insights into the Enneagram have helped me to understand this valuable instrument in ways I previously had not. Again and again, I find that when I use her materials with others, paths to freedom in Christ are discovered in ways not previously seen. Plus, hearing Clare teach on the Enneagram makes the material come alive even more!" Mary Albert Darling Author, Associate Professor of Communication, Adjunct, Masters in Spiritual Formation and Leadership Chair, Spring Arbor University Clare is a very energetic and interactive speaker. She has creatively combined some traditional practices of spirituality, particularly Ignatian spiritual practices, with the Enneagram spectrum of personality styles. You will find her presentations engaging, thoughtful and useful. Jerome Wagner, Ph.D., author: Nine Lenses on the World: the Enneagram Perspective; The Enneagram Spectrum of Personality Styles. We are very grateful for Clare's facilitation, teaching and the understanding she imparted to us at Family Tree with the Enneagram Workshop. The Lord has blessed her with many talents, and she is sharing them to impact others. In this case, not only our team but the patients we serve. R. Troy Carlson, M.D. Family Tree Medical Practice I wholeHEARTedly recommend Clare Loughrige to you. I have invited Clare to speak in both small group (approximately 25) and a larger group (more than 200) and each setting, we have found her presentations to be engaging, insightful and meaningful for each participant. Clare knows how to keep an audience's attention using the right amount of humor and pertinent examples. I believe your organization will benefit both from the Enneagram and the way Clare presents it.
