Enneagram Course

Posted on by Laura Thomas

We are hosting an Enneagram course at St Michael’s Centre on 25 -27 April

The dates and times are:

  • Thursday 25 April – 6pm – 8.30pm 

  • Friday 26 April – 9.45am to 6pm then fish and chip meal together.

  • Saturday 27 April 9.45am to 12.45pm

Enneagram is a great tool to help you get to know yourself better. With knowledge comes self-awareness, healing and acceptance. It isn’t really a personality type test, it is more what motivates us.

The course will be run by Beckky Widdows. Becky worked as a spiritual director at Trinity College, Bristol for many years and at Lee Abbey as a lay chaplain. She now works freelance in spiritual direction, retreat work, Enneagram teaching and counselling.

St Michael’s Centre is delighted to be hosting this Bristol Diocese event on Saturday 20 January

Bristol Diocese say:

At Growing Faith. Together, we aim to create an informal and welcoming environment where individuals from all parts of our diocese can come together to explore and deepen their faith. Whether you are a long-time believer, in church leadership or just starting your spiritual journey, this event is for you! If you can come with others from your parish team you will be able to get even more from learning and reflecting together.

Throughout the day, there will be engaging speakers, thought-provoking discussions, and inspiring worship sessions.

Keynote Speaker: Christopher Jamison – Former Abbot of Worth Abbey; reluctant star of the BBC2 series, The Monastery; Director of Vocations for England and Wales from 2010-2017 will speak on spiritual patterns for everyday life and lead a workshop on learning from Benedictine rhythms.

Workshops and short talks throughout the day will enable us to hear from the experience of others across the whole diocese who are seeking to help people grow in their discipleship and to help their churches flourish including:

  • Holy Habits
  • Renewing culture and building hope
  • Sabbath rest
  • New resources for encouraging growth in faith
  • Growing faith with young people
  • Developing patterns of life that fit with our temperament and personality
  • and more to be announced

You will have the opportunity to connect, think and pray with others who are longing to grow in faith and see our churches thrive, share your experiences, and learn from one another.
