In this episode we explore point 8 on the enneagram, and how the story developed at this point is about prizing strength over vulnerability. We discuss the childhood story, the lost part of the self (called the Soul Child), and the characteristics of the personality at point 8. We also look at the 8’s developmental path on the circle, how to make use of the lines and arrows, and how we can utilize Islamic spiritual practices and concepts as part of the growth journey.
