The Enneagram and Christian Spirituality

Presenter: Michael Ceragioli, MA

Discover the profound connections between the Enneagram and Christian spirituality in this engaging two-day series led by Michael Ceragioli, MA (Th.), a dynamic scholar and third-year PhD student. Designed for both beginners and those familiar with the Enneagram, this series invites you to explore how the wisdom of this personality framework can deepen your spiritual journey.

We’ll begin by introducing the Enneagram’s foundations and introduce the three basic triads that comprise the system:

The Gut Triad (Types 8, 9, 1): How instinct shapes our relationships and spiritual lives.

The Heart Triad (Types 2, 3, 4): The role of emotion and identity in our quest for authenticity.

The Head Triad (Types 5, 6, 7): The interplay of intellect, fear, and trust on our faith journey.

From there, we will explore how the core insights resonate with the Christian call to conversion and transformation. Finally, we will look at how the Enneagram is relevant not only for individuals but also shows the path to collective change.

Michael’s expertise in depth psychology, contemporary spirituality, and theology creates a rich, thought-provoking environment. As co-author of the forthcoming book Revisioning Spirituality: Human Transformation and the Communal Imagination, Michael brings fresh insights that inspire participants to connect the Enneagram to their lived experiences and spiritual growth.

Whether you’re seeking to understand yourself better, enhance your relationships, or grow closer to God, this series offers an inviting space for reflection, conversation, and transformation. Join us and take the first step in aligning your inner world with the divine.
