Performing and Creative Artist in Richmond, VA
THERESA STEWARD
LET'S CONNECT.
I am a performing and creative artist and musicologist who is continually seeking new ways to share art through speaking, writing, performing, and making. My passions are to create a greater awareness of global music cultures through my writings and presentations and to craft powerful moments of joy and gratitude as well as prayerful interfaith spaces for peace and reflection through music performance and creative art explorations. I also teach mind/body awareness through the practices of yoga and pilates with a focus on the spiritual side of mindfulness.

Whether it’s through performing, publishing, teaching, exploring new skills, or meeting new people, I enjoy continually learning and being amazed at how interconnected we are as human beings through the unique gifts we share. I would love to know how we can work together to share our gifts for the greater good. If you would like to discuss an opportunity to collaborate, please click below to get in touch.

The Enneagram Map to Your Deeper Self: Living Beyond Your Type
By Sandra C. Smith
You are much more than your personality type. The Enneagram Map to Your Deeper Self is an invitation to see ourselves as more than we believe we are, to learn and engage in practices that liberate us from automatic patterns. With clarity and consistency, this book shows how to understand your Enneagram type without reinforcing the patterns of your type.
Smith provides a detailed teaching of the components of the Enneagram type structures along with type-specific practices to counter automatic patterns. Also included are contributions from a diverse range of Enneagram practitioners. With their help, Smith dives into the components of the Enneagram types to tease out the patterns and pitfalls preventing us from living our radiance. Prayers, poems, and practices beckon us out of our confining comfort zones and into witnessing and honoring our lives.
