John 12:24, describes the survivalist tools of a seed and how it has to shed some of its protectiveness to really be fruitful.  Jesus, uses this metaphor to point out how we, like seeds, construct a protective coat that helps us survive in a world where we encounter challenges and insecurities. But for us to truly live a fruitful life, we must allow the protective coat to soften and fall away in order to grow.  Join Stella Kessler for this unique day of reflection, rooted in the John 12:24 passage.  Using the Enneagram as a tool for insight, you will be invited to explore the innate gifts and inclinations of our lives before trials and traumas began to shape us. Also focused on will be the strategies and false narratives that keep us from becoming who we are truly meant to be.
