“The surrender that matters is giving up the belief that we have any enemies.”
— D. Patrick Miller, A Little Book of Forgiveness

Life is bumpy. That much we know. When something collides with our lives—individually or collectively—our first question is often: Who’s to blame?

What if there is a way of being in the world that moves beyond blame, yet still holds a deep sense of responsibility, fairness, and goodness?

This nine-hour live class isn’t another “four steps to forgiveness.” It’s an approach rooted in our fundamental divinity and holiness. Forgiveness here doesn’t mean condoning harm, abandoning accountability, or resigning ourselves to what is. It means seeing beyond appearances, and discovering what happens when we let go of our private preferences about how others, and life itself, should be.

The non-dual teachings of Unity and A Course in Miracles offer another way. Unity understands sin as error, a missing of the mark that arises when we forget our oneness. A Course in Miracles offers a radical vision of forgiveness: not pardoning a wrong we believe is real, but recognizing the essential truth in one another that was never harmed. Such forgiveness cannot be forced. Sometimes it begins with nothing more than our willingness to be willing.

These teachings have long shaped how Rev. Nhien Vuong teaches the Enneagram. In this second course in the Unity Metaphysics & the Enneagram series, that foundation becomes explicit. This isn’t a class on Unity or A Course in Miracles per se, but an exploration of their wisdom through the lens of the Enneagram. Together we’ll move through five doorways:

Missing the Mark — Unity’s understanding of sin as forgetting our oneness, not a verdict on anyone’s worth.

The Enneagram of Forgiveness — How each type holds on, keeps score, and builds its own sense of right and wrong, and what forgiveness asks of each of us.

Radical Forgiveness — A Course in Miracles’ invitation to look beyond error to the truth of who we are, and to move our relationships from special to holy.

Love Without Othering — How we might stand for what is good and respond to harm without hating or making anyone the enemy.

Willing, Not Trying — Unity’s practices of denial and affirmation, and how forgiveness arises as grace when we stop forcing it.

Who this is for

This course is for anyone who senses there may be a deeper way to hold forgiveness, accountability, and love together.

It’s also for those who have been taught that forgiveness means accepting mistreatment. Forgiveness never requires us to stay in harm’s way or abandon healthy boundaries. Often it is what frees us to set those boundaries with clarity rather than resentment.

No previous knowledge of Unity, A Course in Miracles, or the Enneagram is required. We’ll introduce the foundational teachings of all three, while offering deeper integration for those already familiar with them. Whether you’re new to these paths or have walked with them for years, come as you are.

Part 1 is not required, though it’s warmly recommended as a foundation. Unity Metaphysics & the Enneagram, Part 1: From Personality to Individuality is available as a self-paced course.

This course is also a prerequisite for Evolving Enneagram’s Certified Enneagram Teacher Training, currently in development and slated to launch in September 2027. It may be taken live or by replay to fulfill the requirement.

“The holiest of all the spots on earth is where an ancient hatred has become a present love.”
