Once a month following Sunday worship, we go to All Square for Grilled Cheese. All Square is a restaurant and institute that employs and educates formerly incarcerated folks to set them up for success now that they are “All Square” with the law. It’s an amazing place with about 15 different kinds of grilled cheese!
The Enneagram is a way of understanding nine basic types of people and how we behave, communicate, interpret things and respond in the world. It gives us a tool for understanding ourselves and the connections between the personality, psychological development and spiritual transformation.
During this workshop you’ll learn about the Enneagram system, discover your Enneagram number and learn how each type communicates, participates in conflict and gives feedback, along with some tools to improve these things.
Fees will cover coffee, snacks and lunch, plus enneagram materials you can take home with you. This event needs between 12 and 30 people, so register today! Tickets are transferrable, but not refundable.
Your facilitator is Holly Johnson. Holly is trained in the Enneagram in Business, by Ginger Lapid-Bogda and understands herself to be a Social Two with a well-traveled eight-line and a three wing, and if you don’t know what that means but are curious, this is the right place to be. She has facilitated trainings for college groups, camp staffs, women’s groups, office teams, leaders, and random groups like this.
Join us for our Fall book discussions on Sara Miles’ “Take This Bread: A Radical Conversion”
About the book: Early one morning, for no earthly reason, Sara Miles, raised an atheist, wandered into a church, received communion, and found herself transformed–embracing a faith she’d once scorned. A lesbian left-wing journalist who’d covered revolutions around the world, Miles didn’t discover a religion that was about angels or good behavior or piety; her faith centered on real hunger, real food, and real bodies. Before long, she turned the bread she ate at communion into tons of groceries, piled on the church’s altar to be given away. Within a few years, she and the people she served had started nearly a dozen food pantries in the poorest parts of their city.
The church she ended up at is St. Gregory of Nyssa, a super unique progressive Episcopalian church in San Francisco. I’ll tell you about it as we go through the book!
Get your food and drink (or not) down at Geek Love Cafe and then head upstairs for the discussion. We’ll cover the first ten chapters in the first meeting; approximately the next 100 pages in the subsequent meetings. This is not a “Club” so you can come to one or all.
The books will be available at Moon Palace Books for 20% off; You can usually find our book picks in the front of the store with the label “Spirit Garage Book” under it. Support your local bookstore! (Also support libraries, etc.)
