Know your number: exploring the enneagram for personal growth
lesson two
lesson 2: Wings, arrows & the HEad triad
Let's explore the meaning of Enneagram wings and how they influence our type. We'll also discover what the arrows reveal to us about how we act under stress and where we can go for renewal. You'll watch a video lesson with Dr. Carrie Starr, read an article addressing the Enneagram & faith, read & reflect on Scripture, watch a video featuring Enneagram types in film & television, and discover the Typology podcast featuring author Ian Cron. You can do this work all in one sitting or spread the work out over multiple days. Try to complete all material in this lesson before beginning Week Three.
