Sometimes in one’s life there are moments that move you into another direction. A moment where you feel you need to change course, resolve and issue, move forward or change connections. Many believe that the Enneagram is a powerful tool to find your best true self, by working on the unhealthiness of you, and embracing your inner strength, that you can empower yourself to move mountains.
In a way, the new series on the OWN Network called Oprah’s Lifeclass seems to tackle these moments, where everything changes, and you can react or get creative. Why would Oprah chose to move in this direction and teach? What motivates Oprah Winfrey? Well, truthfully only Oprah knows, but the Enneagram can understand the possible motivations behind an act so you can have empathy to a person’s life. I want to tap into that—discover the interconnections we all have with one another, and learn. Whether it’s a small possibility or a life changing light bulb moment, we all can learn something from each other.
As an Enneagram student of the 'nine types,' we might come out of this experience, (all one million of us) with a different viewpoint of the experience—whether good or bad, a life changing understanding or a waste of your time. That’s the beauty of the Enneagram. In that instant you see yourself whole, free, accepting, raw or broken, but the experience helps you to work though and gain knowledge to move forward. Perhaps this is Oprah’s goal, to give back to others on what she’s learned to move onward. After all, isn’t that what great teachers do?
I want to tab into the connection each type might have to this experience. As a Six, I can only image what my dreams, hopes, anxieties might be, or what I wish might happen by taking this journey. Perhaps you may want to know how each type will react to a life assignment, or a project, or if you will even get anything out of this program. So get your computers ready and your pens in hand; ‘life work’ will began for 5-weeks and we'll learn how we each might connect with the enneagram Three and learn a little more about one other in the process.
Class begins October 10; check your listing for times in your area. Oprah will chat online with the class and answer questions about the series.
