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.
