Aug 10, 2021

SHOW NOTES

Important Information Regarding This Particular Podcast:  We do not consider this podcast to be an introduction to the Enneagram. We assume in the podcast that the listener will have some orientation and understanding of the Enneagram. We have listed some books and a previous podcast below for you as resources to discover more about the Enneagram.

—————————

In these days of global crisis, we felt it was imperative for us to have a conversation with seasoned experts and trusted authors, Doug and Adele Calhoun on how the Enneagram helps us understand how each of us react differently under stress, fear and the pandemic facing us at the present moment.  

For those of you who have been introduced to the Enneagram and understand your own type and the types of those you love who are around you, this podcast will prove valuable, if not invaluable. See if you don’t agree with us while listening! There is something for every single person in this podcast.

This is a longer than usual podcast, but worth every minute! We added a break in the middle so you can stretch your legs, get a drink of water, or pause it to listen to later.

The Enneagram has been used by Potter’s Inn for over a decade to help each of us understand ourselves. It was the great reformer, John Calvin who wrote in the opening pages of the Institute that “The greatest way to know God is to know ourselves.”

The diagram below shows the Enneagram numbers and their relationship to other numbers and types.
