Wednesday, May 27, 2009 The Enneagram: A Path to Freedom Stanford psychiatrist, David Daniels, brings his years of experience as an international teacher of the Enneagram to this conversation with the author of The Lioness Tale, Diane Pendola. David Daniels, with Helen Palmer co-founded the Enneagram Professional Training Program (EPTP), where Diane and David first met. David has continued to be a source of support for Diane's work with the Enneagram, particularly through his book The Essential Enneagram which has just been newly updated and revised. This show will discuss how the story of Lioness illuminates the journey mapped out by the Enneagram: from the primal experience of the basic goodness of Reality, through essential wounding and corresponding defensive patterns of personality type, to eventual transformation through awareness and compassion. Join them for a conversation about the interface between the Enneagram and The Lioness Tale: Awakening the Liberating Spirit, revealing a path back to integration and freedom for each of us.

The Lioness Tale

By Diane Pendola

The Lioness Tale, inspired by ancient storytelling traditions, addresses the problems of living under conditions that are hostile or indifferent to the inner life. How easy it is to identify with the Lioness of this tale! We know what it is to long for the intimacy of a caring voice, to be embraced by someone who believes that our happiness and our humanness are important.

In this work of visionary fiction, there are lessons that will change your life. Just as the author has dared much in the telling, you must dare much in the reading. You'll share the grief of the Lioness' loss both of love and her own freedom. But the reward you'll share is renewed inner strength and a sense of vulnerability by which you will get back your own life and celebrate it."
