Embark on a transformative journey with our workshop, "Integrating the Enneagram and Spiral Dynamics: A Journey Through Personality and Consciousness." This immersive experience delves into the fusion of two profound models—the Enneagram's nine personality types and Spiral Dynamics' stages of human development—to provide a comprehensive understanding of your core motivations and consciousness evolution. Matt Schlegel will give us the basics of Spiral Dynamics and how it correlates with the Enneagram.

We extend an open invitation for you to join us at "Open Circle," where we come together to learn, share, and grow in unity. This is more than just a meeting; it's an opportunity to be part of a community committed to spiritual development and mutual support. Join us as we journey together, discovering new perspectives and embracing the collective wisdom of our shared experiences.

Dreams are inherently mysterious, serving as a window into the unconscious. They arise from the depths of the psyche, communicating through the rich language of metaphors and symbols. By engaging with our dreams intentionally, we can unlock their potential to provide profound wisdom, insight, and healing.

NOTE: “Dream Talk” replaces “Star Talk.”

This Enneagram session delves into its fascinating historical connections to lost spiritual traditions, particularly the Desert Christian monks of the fourth century and the possibility of ties to Mary Magdalene—a spiritual leader and equal to Jesus in the early first-century movement. We will also examine its modern relevance in navigating the chaos of our time. Don’t miss this compelling exploration of the Enneagram’s deep historical synergy.

Exploring Inner Spaces! There's a profound difference between consulting a psychic medium to access spiritual realms and beginning to engage with that deeper part of ourselves that connects with the energies that permeate and surround us. Many of us struggle to trust our intuition—our inner spirit—or believe that we can't "feel, see, hear, or sense" it. It's undoubtedly a journey.

At our upcoming “Gathering of Community,” members of the Spiritual Life Foundation, including Lauren Morimoto, Brynn Saito, Lisa Tsuchiya, and Kellie Liang, will share their unique personal stories, experiences, and practices as they navigate their internal explorations. Their journeys, each distinct and fascinating, have incorporated various approaches, such as tarot, healing arts, psychic development, creativity, poetry, and more.

Listening to their narratives will ignite inspiration in each of us. While we've often contemplated these concepts, we've generally kept them to ourselves, only reflecting on them in our private thoughts.

Join us for a day filled with inspiration and reflection on our spiritual paths. This event is open to all, regardless of your current beliefs or practices. We look forward to learning about and from the personal journeys of others, and we invite you to share your own experiences.

Dr. Courtney Brown is a mathematician and social scientist who teaches in the Department of Political Science at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. He is also a leading scholar on "remote viewing." Dr. Brown is involved in teaching people how to reliably make video recordings of extraterrestrial spacecraft.

With the recent UFO/UAP activity in Washington DC, New Jersey, Arizona, and reports of so-called “Drones” (metal orbs) over military installations in the UK, it is timely for us to explore the work of Dr. Courtney Brown. In this session, we will watch his interview on the Jeff Mara podcast, “The Most Important UFO and Alien Video of 2024” from March 17, 2024.

The Enneagram's Path of Disintegration, also known as the stress or security path, offers a unique perspective on personal growth, even though it initially describes how different types react under stress or strain. Each Enneagram type has a direction of disintegration (or stress) that points to another type's characteristics which can emerge under negative circumstances. However, this pathway can also be viewed as a potential path for growth if navigated consciously.

Join us for an immersive workshop designed to delve into the rich and intricate world of the Enneagram and its subtypes. This interactive session is perfect for individuals seeking to deepen their understanding of themselves and others, as well as for professionals aiming to enhance their coaching, counseling, or team-building skills.

The Enneagram system identifies nine main personality types, each with distinct motivations, fears, and behavioral patterns. To add further nuance, each of these types can be influenced by one of three subtypes—also known as instinctual variants—which describe how individuals manage their interactions with the world around them.

Discussion of “Inside Out 2” and the Enneagram: The film explores themes of self-acceptance and the complexities of adolescent emotions, using imaginative settings and characters that are both humorous and poignant. While the new emotions add fresh dynamics, they struggle to leave as lasting an impact as the original cast from the first film.

The Bible is a powerful symbol in our polarized society. Yet, many if not most people do not know the history, context, and the creation of the Bible. The “UN-Bible Study” is a thought-provoking course designed to critically examine the Bible from a historical, literary, and theological perspective. This class explores the complexities and nuances of the Bible, challenging traditional views and fostering a deeper understanding of this influential text. It will explore the early Christian movements that were stamped out by the Church, their writings (Gnostic Writings), and the implications for our times.

Daniela is the SLF Director of Art and Spirit and is an astrologer. She will share her astrological insights for our current transits - these times in which we live. Daniela shared a fantastic presentation on those transits on our first Joshua Tree retreat (October 2022).

The Enneagram and the OCEAN (Big Five) assessment are two prominent personality frameworks used in psychology, each with its unique approach and emphasis.

While the Enneagram focuses on inner dynamics, growth potential, and spiritual dimensions, the OCEAN model emphasizes measurable, observable traits and their implications for behavior and compatibility in various settings. Each model serves different purposes and can complement each other in holistic personality assessment and development.
