#11 - Shalom

Hey everybody, we apologize that this episode is a week late. (Well, actually only Kyle apologizes since it was his fault it was late.) Good news, our next episode will be back on schedule.

In this episode we examine the concept of Shalom. Does it just mean "peace?"

Hosts: Kyle, Rob

We made it to Episode 10, which is often the time podcasts burn out. Good news we already have episodes 11 and 12 recorded, so we'll last at least that long.

In this episode Kyle and Rob discuss some liminal experiences they have had. Then they talk about how places themselves can be liminal.

(Two small warnings: Rob does discuss some liminal experiences that occurred during his divorce. We know that divorce is often a painful experience, and we know that each divorce is unique. Please understand that Rob is discussing only his experience and his path to forgiveness. Forgiveness is a large topic we will discuss in depth at a future date. Also, Rob mentions his time in Iraq as an Army Officer. He does not mention any specifics and only shares about how he found some liminal space in the midst of deployment, but out of respect for those who may carry trauma from war we wanted you to be aware he does reference his time overseas.)

Hosts: Rob, Kyle

Today the hosts discuss something they should have already discussed: What is liminal? They work out what it means to be in a liminal space. 

Note: We do talk a bit about AA. We are not experts about AA and only include our own observations. If you are struggling with addiction of any kind please reach out to someone for help.

Hosts: Rob, Kyle

In today's episode the hosts try to figure out a working definition of "spiritual." Do they succeed? Well, kind of, but like all things it's the journey that is really important, and what a journey it is.

Hosts: Rob & Kyle

In today's episode we discuss how integration and disintegration work in the Enneagram. This is where the rubber meets the road as they say; the practical application of this personality profile system.

We also welcome back Adam Lavazza to share his insights.

In this episode we look at the final triad in the Enneagram. We discuss how the instinctual center works and which numbers are part of it. As a bonus Kyle relates a board game story involving yelling and rage.

Hosts - Kyle, Rob

Today we skip a Books, Board Games, and Broadcasts episode to plow ahead with the Enneagram Triads. Today's episode looks at the "Thinking" triad.

Hosts - Rob, Kyle

In today's episode we continue our exploration of the Enneagram. We begin looking at the "triads." These are the areas that are driving motivators for the different types. Today we examine the Heart Triad. This is the center that types 2, 3 and 4 operate out of.

Hosts: Rob, Kyle

Today's episode is the other side of our coin - Books, Board Games, and Broadcasts, where we look at some media and wrestle with ideas that emerge from them.

Book: Spare

Board Game: Ark Nova

Broadcast: Avatar 2
