Cultivating Everyday Awe

By Terry Saracino & Evangeline Welch

The Narrative Enneagram hosts monthly community gatherings for TNE members on Zoom, exploring a variety of Enneagram-related topics with our faculty and other experts. We are now making a selection of these previously recorded teachings available to the wider community via digital download to support your growth journey in connection with other Enneagram enthusiasts. 

In this recording, Terry Saracino (TNE Founding President & Core Faculty) starts by leading us in centering practices to ground us in the present moment and notice what arises for us when we contemplate the word, “awe.” Referencing the work of Dachner Keltner in his book, AWE: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life, Terry connects the value of experiencing awe to our work with the Enneagram and spirituality.

Terry shares examples of how expanding our awareness to receive that which is greater than ourselves can free our attention from the bounds of our type structure, offering us more flexibility, openness, curiosity, and positive experiences.
