Enneagram & Spiritual Discernment Webinar #2 Week 1 Materials
Questions to Ponder:
Take some time to think about your tragic gap and courageous question. You may want to continue using the courageous question you began with at the start of the webinar series, or you may want to choose a new issue/problem/conflict that is relevant in your life at the moment. Below are several Parker Palmer videos where he talks about the subject of the Tragic Gap and see if these add to your understanding. It may be fruitful to write down a whole list of possible choices – both tragic gaps and the courageous questions that emerge from them. One may jump out as a perfect choice. Return to the original process of working with your courageous question, but now add in the ennea-profile that was a part of webinar #2. The handout below contains both the original worksheet and the ennea-profile pages. (Thank you Mary S. for creating this for us!) Share your thoughts on the forum.
