* A Day with Susan Piver: Meditation and Enneagram
Don't miss this chance to work with Susan Piver — best-selling author and nationally recognized instructor — right in Groton!
Meditation Workshop: The practice of shamatha meditation (sometimes translated as the practice of tranquility) is more than 2,500 years old and has been practiced by countless people over the millennia. Meditation is an antidote to the speed, anxiety, and overwhelm that we contend with day after day, hour after hour. Also, perhaps surprisingly, it provides a counterbalance to another potent 21st century malady: self-doubt and the fear that lies behind it. In this workshop, we will develop the foundation for opening your heart through a mindfulness-awareness meditation practice. You will also receive suggestions for creating a regular practice.
Enneagram Workshop: Through a brief introduction to the Enneagram system, we will identify our habitual patterns and make friends with our strengths and weaknesses. Do you ever wonder if there's something you are doing — or not doing — that causes the pattern to repeat? What are we blind to about our own personal style? Join us in taking a non-judgmental look at the habitual tendencies that block us — not only on our spiritual path, but also in our everyday relationships. Working with the foundation of basic goodness in ourselves and others, we will study the Enneagram system of nine fundamental types in order to make friends with both our strengths and our weaknesses.
What to Bring: A bag lunch, if you plan to stay for both workshops (or you may enjoy a meal at one of several local options).
