On behalf of Mosaic Formation, welcome to the course, Intro to the Enneagram of Christlike Virtues.

Mosaic Formation is a Christian nonprofit ministry formed in 2021 focused on the spiritual formation of ministry leaders in underserved contexts. In order to make spiritual formation care and training for more widely accessible to all, we have adopted a pay-it-forward financial model. Anyone receiving services from Mosaic Formation is a recipient of someone else's generosity, rather than a paying customer. Our prayer is that this course will bless you, and that others will be blessed through you.

We send occasional announcements and newsletters to keep you informed about our ministry and about new workshops and online courses as they become available. You can unsubscribe or update your communication preferences any time. We promise to never sell or share your contact information with a third party, and we will be judicious about how often we send emails and updates.

About this course:

The Enneagram of Christlike Virtues is an alternative approach to applying the Enneagram as a tool for Christian spiritual formation. Most Enneagram books on the market today are built around a personality-types framework, sometimes called The Enneagram of Personality. In that paradigm, the nine numbers of the Enneagram represent nine distinct personality types, and there are rules (e.g. wings and arrows) for how the nine numbers interact with each other based on a particular symbol. In contrast, we are taking a virtues-based approach where the numbers represent nine Christlike qualities or virtues. So for example, Enneagram ONE, rather than representing “The Good Person” personality type, it represents the Christlike virtue of “grace-filled Righteousness.” The Enneagram of Christlike Virtues seeks to help us discern how the Holy Spirit might be at work to make us more like Christ through a transformational journey of deepening trust in God. 

Would you take a moment to pause and to pray before embarking on this course, asking God to help you perceive and understand whatever He would like to show you?
