Episode 3: The Enneagram with Keith Kristich

Welcome to the the Wondering Free podcast, where we seek to create a more spacious spiritual life by exploring our experiences, practices, and beliefs, and how they shape ourselves and the world around us.

In this episode, Keith Kristich and I invite you into our conversation on the Enneagram, that nine-pointed personality tool that everyone likes to talk about. Keith gives us an overview of the Enneagram, then we flip the interview and microscope into the my Enneagram type to give you an idea of how the Enneagram can be used to better understand ourselves and as a tool for personal growth. 

Guest Bio: Keith is a contemplative and nature lover, who walks with those who wish to nourish and deepen their spiritual life and wellbeing through contemplative prayer, meditation, and personality study. He leads retreats, contemplative practice groups, and does one-on-one coaching, in person and online.  Keith is also a certified Enneagram teacher, which is the focus of our discussion today. You can find more information about Keith at his websites KeithKristich.com and CloserThanBreath.com

Heretics in Heaven isn’t really a statement about heretics, heaven, or even distinct religious beliefs. The phrase itself is meant to lead us into a deep sense of humility and wonder.
