Join us this week for a continuation of last Wednesday’s class on Archetypes and the Enneagram. We have capacity on ZOOM for new attendees. You do not have to have attended the first session to join for this week!

____________________________________________________________________________________

Retreat House Spirituality Center is delighted to partner with Trained Spiritual Director and Psychiatrist Dr. Troy Caldwell as well Licensed Clinical Social Worker Doug Scott for a two-part course on Jungian Archetypes and the Enneagram.

In this offering, Caldwell and Scott will provide an overview of archetypes as well as the enneagram as two tools connecting individuals to a deeper understanding of themselves, God and the world around them.

Participants can expect to:

• Better understand 8 archetypes as organizing structures for the soul and its spiritual journey

• Learn how the gender archetypes affect/inform the journey

• Gain knowledge of one’s dominant archetype and subtypes

• Have space to ponder your dominant archetype and how it has shaped your particular journey

• Consider questions like have you ever been called to use your opposite archetype? What was that like? Have you ever been called to heal the dark side of your own archetype?

• Receive an introduction to the enneagram and why it has become popular

• Learn how the enneagram is used to conceptualize one’s journey

• Understand or better understand the 9 enneagram types and how they related to the archetypal realities.

“My sense is by understanding our own souls more deeply and more flexibly and by appreciating other souls we can love each better as well as love ourselves better. ”

— Troy Caldwell

Meet your teachers:

For nearly four decades, Troy Caldwell, M.D. has been a shepherd of souls. From 1981 through August of 2016, he practiced this shepherding in the Dallas and North Texas area as a psychiatrist. While practicing, he learned much though his role as a psychotherapist and medical healer. In addition, he was privileged to study and ultimately teach the ancient traditions of soul work called Spiritual Direction.

A particular interest of Dr. Caldwell’s is the appreciation of ways Jungian and depth psychology shed light on the spiritual path. In 2015, he published a book addressing this topic titled Adventures in Soulmaking: Stories and Principles of Spiritual Formation and Depth Psychology.

Doug Scott, LCSW, attended the University of North Texas and studied Psychology and Spanish. During his sophomore year in college, he studied abroad at ITESM in Monterrey, Mexico. After UNT, he served as an international volunteer in Bluefields, Nicaragua, with the Capuchin Franciscans for two very formative years.

Returning from Nicaragua, he worked at a non-profit organization in Worcester, MA, before going to graduate school at Boston College. He graduated from BC in 2004 with a masters degree in clinical social work and a masters degree in pastoral ministry. Since 2001, Doug have worked as a mental health counselor to English and Spanish speaking individuals, couples, and families.

He spent several years working at the University of Dallas and currently works a few hours a week at the University of Texas in Dallas while spending the rest of his professional time in private practice. Scott has studied under Father Richard Rohr and is passionate about using the enneagram as a tool for healing.
