Know Justice, Know Peace - social justice through the lens of the Enneagram
In this talk, Dr. Deborah Threadgill Egerton will introduce you to the basics of the Enneagram and how it can support you in the world of social justice.
What is the Enneagram?
There are 9 Points on the Enneagram Map. We have access to all of the Points but we lead with one dominant energy. From the vantage point of your 'type', you will discover certain strengths that you have, challenges you may experience and why the conflicts of the world affect you in a certain way. Your Enneagram type can shape your reactions.

The Enneagram provides a detailed guide for inner work and allows us to move out of a “me and mine” mentality and into an “us and ours” way of being.
Engaging in our own personal Enneagram journey is essential to becoming an authentic Ally, Advocate, and Love Warrior, but we must all remember that the work doesn’t stop once we acquire the knowledge; we must do something with it. We must be willing to look in the mirror and see ourselves, accept our warts, foibles, and all, and acknowledge that we are all works in progress. However, the work must also include how our beings are received by the outside world. If we truly intend to repair the divides our world currently faces, we must start with ourselves.
We can know justice and know peace when we go deeper into understanding how to do the inner work. Join us for this evening's talk with Dr. E where she will bring the world of social justice and the power of the enneagram together in a deeply impactful way.
