The Enneagram & the Life of Faith: A Workshop with Fr. Wallace Marsh
2026-05-09 12:00 - 15:00 | Killeen Hall
The Enneagram & the Life of Faith: A Workshop with Fr. Wallace Marsh, St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Thomasville, GA.
Fr. Marsh believes that a life of faith is rooted in relationships—our relationship with God and our relationships with one another.
However, cultivating and nurturing healthy relationships is one of life’s greatest struggles. Whether in a church, a classroom, at work, or at home, understanding why we relate to the world the way we do is the first step toward transformation and creating healthy relationships.
Why the Enneagram? After nearly a decade in full-time parish ministry, Fr. Marsh became a high school teacher. It was in an unexpected setting—an English Literature class—where his students became his teachers. They are the ones who “really” introduced him to the Enneagram, an ancient tool of personality typing that reveals the deep-seated motivations behind our behaviors.
For Fr. Marsh, the Enneagram is more than just a personality test; it is a spiritual map. Since discovering it, this tool has become an important part of his personal, professional, and spiritual growth.
This workshop is designed for anyone looking to learn more about the Enneagram and ways to integrate it into their life and relationships.
