ENDORSEMENTS for CLARE LOUGHRIGE:

“Clare Loughrige’s Enneagram materials have been invaluable to me as a spiritual director. Her knowledge of, and insights into the Enneagram have helped me to understand this valuable instrument in ways I previously had not. Again and again, I find that when I use her materials with others, paths to freedom in Christ are discovered in ways not previously seen. Plus, hearing Clare teach on the Enneagram makes the material come alive even more!” Mary Albert Darling Author, Associate Professor of Communication, Adjunct, Masters in Spiritual Formation and Leadership Chair, Christian Perspective in the Liberal Arts (CPLA) Spring Arbor University

Although I could say much more, two things stand out as I reflect back on the January 2107 MOS ©iEnneagram training I was privileged to participate in: first, the competency of the leader and the quality of the participants created a learning atmosphere that was both dynamic and welcoming. When diving into deep soul waters, the security of knowing one is in a safe place allows a freedom of sharing that’s really important for learning something so personal. Clare Loughrige employs a potent and apt pedagogy in her teaching—using case studies and the participants’ understanding of their own Enneagram type to flesh out complex concepts and patterns.
Robert Moore-Jumonville, Ph.D. Professor of Christian Spirituality Spring Arbor University Michigan

Motions of Soul Training illuminated and solidified my previous Enneagram teachings obtained through Drs. Jerry Wagner, Beatrice Chestnut, and Richard Rohr. The Head, Heart & Gut triad gives me a framework to hold the numerous nuances of the Enneagram in a way that is meaningful and transformational. Spiritually MOS resonates with my soul and gives me the confidence to invite those I work with to join in the journey of transformation.
Dr. Lori Tate – Spiritual Director, Soul Dig.

From the Forward of Spiritual Rhythms for the Enneagram: A Handbook for Harmony and Transformation, Loughrige/Calhoun
“And so you ask: Do we really need another Enneagram book on our bookshelves? And I would answer yes, this one! It adds materials and insights other books don’t have. Spiritual Rhythms, for the Enneagram is a very creative and comprehensive presentation of the system with an easy blending of psychology and spirituality.
Jerome Wagner, PHD Clinical Psychologist, Professor and Author Nine Lenses on the World: the Enneagram Perspective and more

“What a welcome contribution to the literature on the Enneagram, particularly from the Christian perspective! Spiritual Rhythms for the Enneagram delivers on its commitment to answer this important question: I know my number; what do I do now? It does so in a clear, accessible, and practical way. Their deep work on the Harmony Triads is both newsworthy and noteworthy. Congratulations to the four authors bringing forth this important material and doing so with one voice.”
Ginger Lapid-Bogda, Enneagram In Business, author of Bringing Out the Best in Yourself at Work and more

“We have been utilizing the Enneagram as a tool for spiritual transformation here in the Transforming Center for a very long time, and the Calhouns and Loughriges have contributed greatly to our journey in community. Their work is a valuable contribution to the growing field of published resources on the Enneagram―insightful, practical, and spiritually profitable! If you are serious about your own journey of transformation, you will want to work with this book rather than just read it.”
Ruth Haley Barton, founder of the Transforming Center and author of Sacred Rhythms and more
