Enneagram: a tool for understanding ourselves and others
Images and How We Hold Them
Making Prayer Beads
An INVITATION TO SOUL PRACTICES
There is much gift to be had in pulling away for a few hours around a particular intention for the sake of learning new ways of understanding yourself. We often live “above” our deepest longings and the things that move us. I offer several workshops that creatively and mindfully give space to explore. These are especially conducive for small groups. Contact me for further information and availability.
The Enneagram As A Tool for Understanding Ourselves and Others
This is a 3 hour introduction to the wisdom of this now widely used personality system. The workshop explores how the Enneagram can be a powerful tool for self-understanding and for lending emotional and social intelligence to relationships. Participants will be introduced to the system, be led in an exploration of the 9 types, and will leave with tools to continue their own further exploration and discovery. Melody has a Part 1 certificate through the Riso/Hudson Enneagram Institute.
Images And How We Hold Them
This is a 2 hour workshop that looks at the mystery of how deeply we are affected by images. The participants will learn how images stay with us for years immersed in our sub-conscious. An exercise with soul journaling will allow for a creative experience of tapping into these images and seeing what wisdom they might yield about the things that have impacted our lives.
making Prayer Beads
This 1½ hour workshop provides an opportunity to create personal prayer beads, a beautiful and tactile way to incorporate ritual in our thanksgivings and concerns of prayer.
An Invitation to Soul Practices
