“Too soon old, too late smart.” How does age affect our understanding,
our intellect and our knowledge? What is wisdom? Who
have been our wisdom teachers? Where do we look for it? Why do
we assume that older people are wise? Together we will explore
these questions by using movie, discussion and expression.

Basic Introduction to the Enneagram 3668
1:00 – 2:30 p.m.
January 18 – February 1 3 Wednesdays
The Enneagram is an ancient symbol of spiritual transformation.
It is a map of the nine energies, positive and negative
(“Ennea” = Greek for “nine”) that are at work in the universe.
It can be applied to any and all processes. When applied at the
level of human personality, it is usually introduced through a
typology of nine types. At this level, our spiritual work is to
change our “negatives” (compulsions or conditioned energy
patterns) into “positive” (or free) choices in life. We will describe
these patterns and indicate some practical ways to do
this kind of work, leading to inner freedom through self-knowledge
and self-acceptance. This program will be presented by
David Walsh, a spiritual director and seasoned teacher and
trainer of the Enneagram.
