2025 Enneagram & Contemplative Spirituality Cohort

with Rev. Joseph Stabile & Hunter Mobley

The Contemplative Cohort led by Rev. Joseph Stabile and Hunter Mobley will spend a year together exploring spiritual practices alongside of Enneagram wisdom in pursuit of deeper awareness of self and the holy. The Cohort will read books, watch films, and hear teaching on contemplative living and the Enneagram, and join together in contemplative spiritual practices, including labyrinth, centering prayer, and many others. Enneagram wisdom to better know self and spiritual practices to better know the holy will serve as a pathway to growing our souls. Rev. Joe Stabile, pastor and spiritual director, and Hunter Mobley, Enneagram teacher, will teach and guide through the cohort journey. This cohort is designed to be meaningful for both beginners and longtime pilgrims of the contemplative life. All that is required is a hunger to grow spiritually and a basic knowledge of your Enneagram type.

In this Cohort we will study and practice many and varied spiritual disciplines.  We will hold one another accountable in our practices, finding companionship and support along the way.  We will discuss issues that are pertinent to spiritual growth and formation and we will use the wisdom of the enneagram to inform the ease or difficulties we might encounter in our personal spiritual growth.

Between gatherings, Cohort members will be expected to complete homework (typically a book to read and a spiritual exercise to practice) and will be encouraged to stay in touch with other group members.

The goal of the Spiritual Life is to live a contemplative life from the heart.  Such a life requires that we take on disciplines and activities that we habitually return to and practice with our whole heart.  These practices are chosen because they awaken, deepen and sustain within us the experience of intimate union with the Holy One.  Such experiences allow us to feel that every moment of our lives is indeed a holy moment.  It is from this place of spiritual or divine awareness that we are able to claim our status as “Beloved Sons and Daughters” of a loving God.
