Listen to Anne describe how a healing circle can be used to heal families, relationships and build a better world by just allowing ourselves to share true feelings of hurt and pain with loved ones in a safe and secure space. Being heard can heal wounds.
About Anne:
Goldjian (Anne Goldenberg) queer immigrant from France, who lives in Tiohta:ke (aka montreal) and learned restorative practices to make space and transform their guilt into responsibilities, and heal their own and relative conflicts. They were introduced to restorative work through Ron Meetoos, a Cree two spirited artist working on decolonial restoration, and learned this particular practice of restorative circles and systems with their friend Di Ponti, who lives in Christiania, Copenhagen. Goldjian deepen this work because of a high concern they have for how we treat, punish, exile, shame each other in queer, artistic and activist communities. They facilitate restorative circles, help groups create their own restorative systems and offer workshops because of the powerful sense of healing this practice is allowing. This work also makes space for grieving and support systems. Their intention is to contribute to a restorative culture (vs withholding a specialty) that can support more of us to move forward to safer places of collective healing and transformation. The website about this work is here.

The enneagram is a spiritual tool used in the government, schools, churches and in families to help people become psychologically and spiritually awesome.
Don't let anyone ever type you. This is your discovery and you deserve the answers in detail. I highly recommend the enneagram institute RHETI test. It ill run you about $15 bucks but it gives the most detail results and allows you to judge for yourself which type you are verses being naive and allowing someone, usually with a large ego (in that moment) to type you for themselves.
The link is below. To do the test just be relaxed, answer openly and try to do it all at once undisturbed.

Also for people wanting a more Christian approach to the enneagram, Matt Brown, from Sandals Church, has pretty decent videos online that describe each type in basic detail.
Search for him on Youtube.

One last brain tease...you are all the types! (this is actually true but you have at least one dominant type.)
Enjoy!

A prayer for letting go.
Turn up the volume and imagine the waters passing over you.
Forgiveness means giving up the suffering of the past and being willing to forge ahead with far greater potential for inner freedom. Besides the reward of letting go of a painful past, there are powerful health benefits that go hand-in-hand with the practice of forgiveness. Oct. 26, 2012
