Podcast Series: Run the Race - Meditations for Movement Course Instructor: The Rev. Kristen Ostendorf  In This Episode: This visioning exercise follows the advice Paul gives his followers in 1 Thessalonians 5: 17-18: to pray without ceasing. Following this pre-movement meditation, a walker, hiker, or runner will write a prayer that follows a traditional format of Christian prayer - called a collect. This collect can speak to the concerns in your heart, no matter what they are. This exercise will help you create a "prayer for your pocket" that you can take on your hike, run or walk, whether it be a prayer of gratitude, joy, lament, or other concerns. For more examples of collects, see https://www.bcponline.org/, p. 810 for a variety of prayers that can be used on various occasions.  Full course page including introduction video and additional resources here: https://www.thehiveapiary.com/run-the-race Music by Dario Durbé – released under CC-BY 4.0. www.dariodurbe.com ------ Support The Hive by becoming a Patreon member: https://www.patreon.com/thehiveapiary Visit our website and join our Membership Community! thehiveapiary.com Subscribe to the Hive's email newsletter for more great content: https://bit.ly/thehiveemailsubscribe Join the Hive's Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheHiveGroupSpiritualityandWellness Follow the Hive on Instagram: @thehiveapiary Get in touch: [email protected]

Alicia guides us through Sandra Smith's reflections on resistance and receptivity—how striving shows up in each of us, and how presence becomes the sacred ground for transformation. Rather than fix our type, this episode invites us to meet the patterns with compassion, return to our bodies, and soften into something truer: the receptivity that lives beneath all our efforting. You'll learn: Why striving—though well-intentioned—keeps us locked in type How receptivity opens the doorway to spiritual experience Why body-based presence is essential for transformation What Sandra's PAUSE Process offers for inner work (and how to explore it further) A closing benediction for each of the nine types—an offering of encouragement for the road ahead Whether you're just beginning your Enneagram journey or seeking to deepen it, this final episode invites you to rest in the truth that your growth doesn't begin with striving—it begins with allowing.

Types Five, Six, and Seven – Navigating Fear, Trust, and Inner Freedom Podcast Series: The Enneagram Map to Your Deeper Self: A Book Club Series Host: Alicia Divers | Somatic Practitioner & Enneagram Teacher Guest Author: Sandra Smith  In This Episode: This week, we step into the Head Center—Types Five, Six, and Seven—and explore how each of these types navigates fear through thought, planning, and imagination. Alicia guides us through Sandra Smith's reflections on the deeper strategies Head Types use to seek safety—and how those strategies can soften when met with presence. Rather than pathologizing fear, this episode invites listeners to see it as a sacred doorway: one that, when tended gently, opens into groundedness, trust, and joy. From the Five's quiet withdrawal to the Six's loyal vigilance to the Seven's search for stimulation—we explore how each type can return to inner steadiness, not by thinking more, but by staying with what's already here. You'll learn: Why fear is central to the Head Center—and how it lives in the body How Fives can move from withholding to engaging How Sixes can return to self-trust, even in uncertainty How Sevens can abide with the moment rather than chase the next thing Why clarity comes not from control—but from grounded presence Whether you lead with a Head Type or love someone who does, this episode offers a compassionate lens on anxiety, thinking patterns, and the somatic pathways back to enoughness. Reflection Question: What does fear feel like in your body—and how might you practice trust, even in uncertainty?

Podcast Series: The Enneagram Map to Your Deeper Self: A Book Club Series Host: Alicia Divers | Somatic Practitioner & Enneagram Teacher Guest Author: Sandra Smith  In This Episode: This week, we move into Chapters 3, 4, and 9 of Sandra Smith's The Enneagram Map to Your Deeper Self—exploring the Heart Center types: Three, Two, and Four. Alicia guides us through the tender terrain of the Heart Center—where image, identity, and emotional attunement shape our inner stories. You'll hear how each type seeks love and connection in distinct ways, and how the journey back to the heart begins with reclaiming self-worth. With somatic insight and personal reflection, Alicia brings Sandra's "compassionate entry points" to life—offering gentle practices and embodied invitations for each type to soften performance, over-functioning, and comparison. You'll learn: How Type Three's drive for achievement can soften into authentic presence How Type Two's desire to be needed can open into the spaciousness of receiving How Type Four's longing for depth can root into grounded belonging How shame subtly shapes Heart Center strategies—and how the body holds its residue Why equanimity, Holy Freedom, and Holy Source name the deeper spiritual journey of these types Whether you resonate with the Heart Center—or love someone who leads with image or emotion—this episode offers a warm, invitational space to remember: You don't have to earn your belonging. You already have it. Reflection Question: Where are you still trying to prove your worth—and what might shift if you trusted that love doesn't have to be earned?

Podcast Series: The Enneagram Map to Your Deeper Self: A Book Club Series Host: Alicia Divers | Somatic Practitioner & Enneagram Teacher Guest Author: Sandra Smith 🎙️ In This Episode: This week, we move into Chapters 6, 7, and 8 of Sandra Smith's The Enneagram Map to Your Deeper Self—and begin our exploration of the Body Center types: Nine, Eight, and One. Alicia introduces the core patterns of the Body Center—how instinct, resistance, and groundedness shape our inner worlds—and how each body type carries a unique relationship to anger, fairness, and autonomy. You'll also hear how Sandra's idea of compassionate entry points invites a kinder, more relational path to growth—and why connecting with your body's knowing is essential for real transformation. You'll learn: How Type Nine's habit of self-forgetting shows up in the body How Type Eight's armor can soften into openness without losing strength How Type One's striving can give way to the serenity of self-acceptance How anger lives differently in each type—and how to meet it with curiosity How Sabbath practices and reflection can create space for real change Whether you resonate with the Body Center yourself—or you're learning to love someone who does—this episode invites you to slow down, listen inwardly, and discover how the body holds both our defenses and our way home. Reflection Question: Where do you notice resistance, urgency, or self-criticism living in your body—and what happens if you meet it with curiosity instead of judgment?
