Mindfulness, introspection, and other contemplative practices are essential to a deeper understanding of one’s enneatype. This includes exploring how the types influence our experience of meditation and prayer. Further, the deeper we go into silence, the richer our experience of what is beyond type. Using mindfulness exercises, panel interviews, and dyad work, we will explore these areas and emphasize the personal experience of participants. We hope that participants will bring some familiarity with their types. Short lectures will supplement such understanding.
