  Radical acceptance: the Path from suffering to freedom

  • Date: Monday, December 8, 2025
  • Time: 6:30-8:30 pm CST
  • Location: Online on Zoom
  • Presenter: Jeannine Myrvik,  LICSW, Enneagram Type 1 (she/her)

  How the Enneagram can show us our type's habit of rejecting reality and help us on the path to freedom by accepting our present reality with our head, heart and body.
  
  Pain is inevitable - suffering is optional. Human beings have innate instinct to avoid pain. Historically, this was an adaptive survival strategy. In present day times, rejecting a painful reality keeps us caught in an unhelpful cycle that perpetuates suffering and keeps us from thriving. Each enneagram type has it's own habit of rejecting reality. Understanding your type's habit will help you to identify quicker when you are practicing nonacceptance and then shift to the path of accepting reality.
  
  In this class we will focus both on recognizing when we are rejecting reality AND help you to accept painful realities with ALL three centers of intelligence. Accepting pain is HARD. This is why it's called RADICAL acceptance. Acceptance of pain requires that we use the combined wisdom of ALL ways of knowing. In this class we will practice accepting reality with our head, heart and body. As we begin the holiday season many of us have painful realities that keep us stuck in suffering. Join us to learn a new way of being with what has been keeping you stuck in suffering.

  Registration is required to receive the Zoom link. We will share a recording of the event with registrants by email.

  Jeannine Myrvik is a psychotherapist in private practice in Mpls. Much of her therapy career has been focused on modalites that center on offering skills to clients. She has been learning the enneagram for the past seven years and is currently most excited about blending what she knows about the enneagram with the skills she has been teaching clients for many years. This workshop is the first of many she plans to offer in the area of what she's calling the Applied Enneagram. As a body type she is of course most interested in the HOW of using the Enneagram.

  Nine Paths, One Spirit: How Our Enneagram Types Mirror Nine World Religions & Map a New Spiritual Age

  • Date: Tuesday, January 13, 2026
  • Time: 6:30-8:30 pm CST
  • Location: Online on Zoom
  • Presenter: Scott McRae, Enneagram Type 9 (he/him)

  The growing interest in the Enneagram parallels what many see to be a new, emerging form of spirituality on our planet. Each is helping to illuminate the other. As we navigate a world marked by overwhelming change and great uncertainty about our future, both the Enneagram and the world’s spiritual traditions offer time-tested mirrors and evolving maps for living with vitality, clarity, and purpose.

  In this class, we’ll explore how each of the 9 Enneagram types resonates with the core values and perspectives of a particular religious or spiritual tradition. For each pairing, we’ll examine a common framing of humanity’s fundamental problem, the solution that addresses it, and a vision for the highest good. For instance, we’ll consider how the Type 1 reflects key values found within Judaism, and their homecoming in serenity and peace (shalom).

  From each of these pairings, we’ll also draw out a spiritual principle that speaks to the emergence of a new spiritual consciousness—one that is personal, communal, and oriented toward planetary well-being.

  Through a mix of presentation, reflection, and both large and small group discussions, this interactive Zoom class invites us to explore how ancient wisdom and emerging spirituality can guide us to meet today’s personal and collective challenges with minds, hearts, and bodies rooted in love.

  Registration is required to receive the Zoom link. We will share a recording of the event with registrants by email.

  illuminating the inner landscape: a Spring 2026 Enneagram Series

  • Date: Tuesday, February 10, 2026
  • Time: 6:30-8:30pm CST
  • Location: Carondelet Center, 1890 Randolph Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55105
  • Presenter: Karen Carlsen, MSW, LICSW, Enneagram Type 6So (she/her)

  February – May 2026 • Attend one, two, or all four sessions

  This spring, we invite you to explore the deeper patterns that shape our Enneagram types through a four-part monthly series designed to expand awareness, insight, and connection. We frequently reference concepts like passion, fixation, focus of attention, and defense strategy—but what do these truly look like in our day-to-day lives? And how do they influence our relationships, our work, and our overall well-being?

  To guide our exploration, we’ll use the powerful metaphor of Johari’s Window, a framework that helps illuminate how we see ourselves—and how we are seen by others.

  Johari’s Window includes four quadrants:

  • The Open Area – what is known to both self and others
  • The Blind Area – what others notice that we may not
  • The Hidden Area – what we know but keep private
  • The Unknown Area – aspects of ourselves still waiting to emerge

  Each monthly session will dive into one of the four core elements of the Enneagram through this lens, offering a blend of learning, reflection, and community engagement.

  To support different learning styles and facilitation approaches, each month may incorporate a mix of type panels, experiential activities, and large or small group processes

  Whether you join us for a single gathering or the full four-month journey, you’ll gain practical insights, deepen your self-understanding, and connect with others in our Enneagram community.

  In-person events are not recorded.
