Enneagram Global Summit
Voices, Practices, and Wisdom of People of Color at the Intersections of Spirituality, Activism & Healing
Enneagram is an ancient tool from ancestral wisdoms and there are parallel indigenous and ancestral wisdoms within communities of color around the globe - many of which POC themselves have been disenfranchised from due to colonization and oppression. This talk will discuss how we intersect the collective memory of these ancestral wisdoms, and how we can engage POC wisdom as a lens through which to see and engage with the Enneagram with new-ancient eyes.
In This Session:
- How the re-membrance of the ancestral wisdoms of POC communities and Enneagram can work together for deeper knowing.
- How we intersect spirit, activism and healing when we look to ancestral wisdoms of enneagram and ancestral POC lineages.
- How opening up this conversation also allows us to be in deeper dialogue around not just how we individually engage Enneagram, but how we collectively look at and reflect on it as a tool.
