Going Deeper with Suzanne Stabile and the Enneagram
In everything from health care and politics to technology and economics, we are experiencing feelings of loss, anger, and anxiety. In the Enneagram's wisdom, our number determines how we respond. We automatically move to another number when we're feeling stress and to yet another when we're feeling secure. Such moves may help us feel better temporarily but don't last.
For those who want to dive deeper into Enneagram wisdom, expert teacher Suzanne Stabile opens the concept of three Centers of Intelligence: thinking, feeling, and doing. When we learn to manage these centers, each for its intended purpose, we open a path to reducing fear, improving relationships, growing spiritually, and finding wholeness. In The Journey Toward Wholeness, Suzanne
– Draws on the dynamic stability of the Enneagram to explain each number's preferred and repressed Center of Intelligence,
– Illuminates each Center of Intelligence's role in helping us move toward internal balance, and
– Provides brief, focused chapters that contain what we need to deal with the constant change and complexity of our world in order to achieve lasting transformation in our lives.
