Join us on Thursdays at 10 a.m. in-person or via Zoom/Owl. We will go on a journey where we will look at building a life of intention and action. In this series we will look at various timeless personal development practices and other strategies to incorporate into our daily lives so we can become more resilient, bold, and joyful. We will look at prayer, breath work, meditation, gratitude, affirmations, visualizations, reading, scribing and other practices to transform our lives.

This 4 week in-depth introduction to the Enneagram is perfect for folks new to the Enneagram and for folks who already have some understanding and know their type.

The Enneagram is rooted in an ancient, dynamic system for understanding ourselves (and others). Unlike many of the more static personality typing models, the Enneagram leads us to deep self awareness, and personal transformation, helping us discover our true selves, beyond our ego and default behaviors. The Enneagram doesn't put you in a box, but helps you see the box you already inhabit (and offers ways to get out!) The nine ways of experiencing and being in the world articulated by the Enneagram, help us live beyond our knee-jerk, default reactions and behaviors, and engage the world, ourselves, and our faith with more compassion and understanding.

This in-depth introduction to the Enneagram will help you understand the system, and find yourself within it. This class will help you identify your own Enneagram type, and gain a deeper understanding of your motivations and default behaviors, cultivating compassion for yourself and others. The Enneagram can help us develop the kind of self-awareness that leads to real transformation, helping us live richer, deeper lives, and build healthier, happier relationships.

Did you know that the work of theology isn't just for pastors or people with fancy theological degrees? And did you realize that each one of us is called as followers of Jesus to learn what it means to think theologically about the world around us? If you are wondering how that is possible and what you can do to learn those kinds of skills, then Pastor Leon has a class for you! Pastor Leon will be teaching a Theology 101 class beginning on Wednesday March 19th 6-8 PM. This class will cover all the major issues within Christian theology with a focus on developing skills to "do theology" in practical ways. The class will be divided into two parts and dinner will be available.

The next study for the Disciples Divers will be the book "The Meaning of Mary Magdalene" by Cynthia Bourgeault. This book is an invitation into the origins and wisdom of Christianity through the apostolic witness of Mary Magdalene. The book should change something in you as it invites you to deepen your capacity for love, through the witness of Jesus' beloved disciple. 

The study will start Monday, January 13, 2025 and run for 17 weeks. We meet in the adult annex every Monday morning from 10:30 until 12:00. We are called the Divers because we dive deep into each subject we take on. The book is available on Amazon. There is no study guide to purchase.
