Know Justice, Know Peace: Healing Humanity

Know Justice, Know Peace: Healing Humanity & The Enneagram

As Dr. Deborah Egerton’s book, “Know Justice Know Peace: A Transformative Journey of Social Justice, Anti-Racism, and Healing through the Power of the Enneagram”, is released, we invite you to learn how to use The Enneagram and IDEA (inclusion, diversity, equity, anti-racism) for reconnection and oneness. The future of humankind depends on the reality that we must combine the inner work that strengthens our spirituality with the outer work that needs to be extended beyond our individual needs and out into the world around us. 

As human beings, we all have a desire to belong and our connection to one another is what allows us to survive and thrive as a species. Unfortunately, we have developed deep divides within ourselves and our communities that have fostered a hotbed for bias, bigotry, and hatred to thrive. If we intend to repair these fractures we need to explore the roots of our disconnects, both externally and internally, in order to begin to heal ourselves and thus heal humanity. By utilizing a new approach to the Enneagram we can begin to address our internal mechanisms that have contributed to the "othering" of people based on some dimension of their diversity and develop the awareness necessary to reconnect to our own being and extend that connection to others. 

Together we’ll explore in-depth: 

• The fundamental building blocks of the Enneagram, how each of the 9 personality structures can manifest in the real world, and the way in which these energies navigate challenges across differences 
• Using the Enneagram and I.D.E.A. (inclusion, diversity, equity, and anti-racism) to create an internal and external expansion to open our mind-body-spirit connection and stand in love against “othering” and explore the ways that we can heal across differences. 
• Engaging with presence to become more familiar with our own patterns that contribute to “othering”. By learning how to release the underlying emotions of anxiety, fear, anger, resentment, shame, and blame, we can heal from past painful experiences that have been inflicted on us or that we have inflicted on “others”. 
• Personal experiences that allow us to see when we may be dropping into toxic behaviors and reactions and learn how they can provide a wake-up call to manage our responses to challenges. 

This course is designed to help participants navigate real-world challenges such as: 

• addressing how unhealed trauma and internal wounds can create barriers later on in life 
• how to manage feelings around unknown or polarizing dimensions of diversity (ie. gender and sexual diversity, race and ethnicity, etc.) 
• addressing complications around navigating difficult conversations in strained relationships or heated debates on social issues 
• how we show up in painful spaces, taking our positions to heal humanity from atrocities such as the war in Ukraine, political divides across communities, and moving away from apathy and passive inaction when we are called to take a stand.
