Wisdom from numerous sacred and secular traditions teaches that each of us has in some important ways fallen asleep to our true nature, to our essential self, to who we really are. The key for each of us is to learn to notice the ways we keep ourselves asleep, to realize that so much of our habitual searching prevents us from getting what we truly seek, and to discover, with compassion, that the box we are in is of our own making.   

This is the first in a year-long series of services drawing on the Enneagram as a tool for our internal journey, our self-acceptance, and thus our well-being and our growth.
