Attuning to Midlife: An Enneagram Journey for Inner Harmony

If you’ve been pondering the mysteries of midlife, you’re certainly not alone. As I consider the whole topic of midlife, one of the first things that arises is the question of when exactly does it begin?

The Enneagram and the Contemplative Path — An Interview with Russ Hudson Part Two

Closer Than Breath

In Part One of our conversation with Russ Hudson, we explored how contemplation and the Enneagram weave together.

Here, we dive deeper into Russ’s personal journey, his research into the roots of the Enneagram, and the resources he offers for students of this path.

By combining the horizontal types of the Enneagram with a system of vertical levels of awareness, Riso and Hudson have produced one of the first truly integrated models of the human psyche. In addition to the importance of this pioneering work itself, it goes to point up the utter inadequacy of anything less than a full-spectrum model of human growth and development. Highly recommended.
