S4 EP2 Becoming Who We Already Are with Reverend Nhien Vuong
Welcome back, everyone! We are so glad you are joining us. In this episode, we are joined by the Reverend Nhien Vuong, contemplative teacher, ordained minister, founder of the Evolving Enneagram, and author of The Enneagram of the Soul, for a deeply personal and illuminating exploration of the Enneagram as a sacred companion to Centering Prayer on the journey of divine therapy. Together, we explore what it truly means to move from a life shaped by the question 'what is wrong with me?' to the lived and felt knowing that we are already whole, and the profound and practical ways the Enneagram and Centering Prayer work together as companions on the same journey toward wholeness and freedom. <br /><br /><b>To connect with Nhien, check out:</b><br /><ul><li>Her Evolving Enneagram Community: <a href="https://calendly.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.evolvingenneagram.com%2F&user_uuid=68a9df9e-9538-4d01-838a-b8f3feccf2ea&stage=1&hmac=3760d759c16a3800402e8e1a5e48100d3854fe1edf7ba4e064a42140cd57a600" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.evolvingenneagram.com/</a></li><li>Her YouTube: <a href="https://calendly.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2F%40evolvingenneagram&user_uuid=68a9df9e-9538-4d01-838a-b8f3feccf2ea&stage=1&hmac=1c371262f9aea215fff6de74573ae76cbec18ac300e82ba3f869d56286ed69be" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.youtube.com/@evolvingenneagram</a></li><li>Her Enneagram of the Soul Book Journey Training & Certification Program: <a href="https://calendly.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fevolvingenneagram.com%2Fenneagram-of-the-soul-facilitator-training&user_uuid=68a9df9e-9538-4d01-838a-b8f3feccf2ea&stage=1&hmac=33e7a0f44cc8d78dedd86249662d8e15473c246c79959c0200ac0e102bd8d4fb" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://evolvingenneagram.com/enneagram-of-the-soul-facilitator-training</a></li><li>Her Contemplative Practices & the Enneagram 12-week cohorts: <a href="https://calendly.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fevolvingenneagram.com%2Fcontemplative-enneagram-community&user_uuid=68a9df9e-9538-4d01-838a-b8f3feccf2ea&stage=1&hmac=22731f71e3b6b3d7cb1f663314d9ae0b08156f0c4b31b727646b89c97ebeb560" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://evolvingenneagram.com/contemplative-enneagram-community</a></li><li>Her (New!)
