Exploring The 9 Points of View in Film & Community
Online Realtime Community: 4 Monday Eves on the Centers
This 4-evening program is open to all types and student levels. This is a small group exploration on the Core Types 9/6/3 in depth, using specific film characters and themes to enhance our understanding of ourselves and others. The Core Types represent the clearest views into what each center triad wants: Control 891/ Predictability 567/ Approval 234. The chosen movie offers themes and a character who generally exemplifies type/center values, so we may better understand the center's/type's areas of attention, motivations and life themes, vice to virtue shifts, or paths to disintegration and development. We also ask deeper questions on meaning always found in well-crafted films. As we have all points of view available to us, and all these 9 folk around us, most participants find something relevant, moving and meaningful to examine in their own lives.
Discover universal themes accessible and applicable to us all on the human journey. Get deeper understanding of the types and how you relate to their ways of being. Expand your community of friends who talk type, character development and the arts. Join for this and all the other benefits of realtime community membership. Every session you will find something worthwhile!

This course assumes general familiarity with the Enneagram system, but you gain plenty with handouts and a lesson each time. Small group class time will be more focused on how the literature/film/themes relate to us all. Students might find it helpful to have one Enneagram text to refer to, but not required.

Self-Study: Each week, you will review a handout and two 200-second videos on the center being explored, along with Dale's reflections on things to watch for in the film. You arrange to view the chosen film prior to class; plan to search IMDB.com for film streaming options. A few prepared questions are available for your self-reflection and for use in our group discussions.
Together: In our evening sessions, Dale will provide a 20 minute teaching on the centers, engage the group to explore many facets of the types, and introduce relevant themes found in that session's film. Only the teaching section of that session is recorded and made available to students who miss. We will have 30 minutes for any who may want to share their own reflections without crosstalk, we take a 10 minute comfort break, and afterwards move into an hour of open lively dialogue! There is plenty of time for reflections, reactions, questions and deeper delving amongst the participants.
