Hi friends, Scott here with a brief update on The Real Enneagram podcast:

Our upcoming season, in which we’ll dive deeply into the virtues and holy ideas with a guest for each Enneagram type, is taking a little longer than we originally expected.  We’re now expecting it to be out this fall.

In the meantime, we have some bonus episodes for you!  This week, we have an episode in which ICB faculty member Drexel Rayford joined Nanette and Dr. Joe to discuss his new album, Nine Prayers of the Soul.  That episode is available now!

Next week, we’ll have two episodes featuring guided meditations by ICB adjunct faculty member Tom Miller-Price.

This week, Nanette and Dr. Joe conclude our series on Becoming Conscious: The Enneagram’s Forgotten Passageway with a discussion on Chapter 18, "The Flowering of Consciousness."  In this season finale, we explore consciousness and its unfolding in the present moment.   We also look into how consciousness can bloom at different times, and the various levels through which it progresses.   Dr. Joe closes the season with a hopeful prayer.

Thank you for listening to our series on Becoming Conscious!
We're going to take a short break, then later this spring we'll return with a new season of weekly episodes in which we dive deeply into the holy ideas and virtues of each Enneagram type, plus a few special episodes, and some wonderful guests.
In the meantime, please check out our extensive backlog of episodes, which include over four years of content!
