Cultivating Compassion

By Terry Saracino & Evangeline Welch

In this recording, Terry Saracino (TNE Founding President & Core Faculty) leads us in centering practices and teachings to ground us in our shared commitment to transforming lives and creating a compassionate world through the Enneagram. Acknowledging the challenging times many of us have experienced in recent years, Terry emphasizes the importance of having compassion for ourselves and others as we navigate difficulties.

Terry shares examples of how the Enneagram can foster compassion, reminds us that our type patterns have value in keeping us safe, and offers additional resources about the science of trauma and Family Systems theory.

Originally recorded at one of The Narrative Enneagram’s monthly Community Gatherings led by TNE faculty and other experts covering a variety of Enneagram-related topics. These gatherings are free for TNE members or $25 for the public and create a supportive environment to connect more deeply with ourselves and others.
