1. Your Enneagram Web
In the first session, we’ll go through the Enneagram as it pertains to you and the people around you. We will get to know each other, talk through a bit of theory and make a plan for our 4 sessions together. Theory will include each of the 9 broad types and how each type travels through the Enneagram Web to create a full persona.
We’ll also discuss your goals for our time together to ensure that we can build a session series that works best for you! This will allow us to get through all your questions and set up a solid foundation for the rest of the course.

2. Growth, Stress & Balance
In this second session, we’ll talk about the Enneagram theory of Growth & Stress directions, and Wings.
The lines on the Enneagram Web help us connect and learn from many other types on our journeys. During our time together, we’ll dive into patterns and challenges that are common with your Enneagram type.
We’ll reflect deeply on how to recognize and respond to times of tension; build awareness around your growth; and find ways to move towards balance.

3. Conflict & Collaboration
In this third session we will take all the theory we’ve learned so far and use it to reflect on how we show up in conflict and collaboration. They are inherently intertwined. One cannot happen without the other.
Our Enneagram Types can help us understand ourselves and our potential for living in community.in a way that prioritizes collaboration, and respects conflict. We’ll also discuss some universal conflict transformation skills that will help you reframe your understanding of conflict. You may even appreciate conflict after this session!

4. Internal & External Oppression
We live in an extractive, colonized, dehumanizing world. We all experience Systemic Oppression in different ways based on our varying identities, circumstances, and abilities.
However, each Enneagram type can uniquely fall victim to society’s lies such as Perfectionism, Objective Truth, Individualism, and Productivity. Each type internalizes society’s lies uniquely and, in turn, can perpetuate harm if we do not build awareness. This session requires an open mind, but can be life changing for you and your community!
The Enneagram
The Enneagram is a powerful tool for personal reflection, relationship building, and collective collaboration. This personality spectrum uses simple, shared language to illustrate archetypes of psychology and divine humanity. While there have been references to its wisdom for thousands of years-It is neither secular nor spiritual, but somewhere in between.
This theory says there are 9 broad types of people, each with their own unique motivations, fears, challenges, and inspirations. In this world, each type has a distinctive relationship with the other types—connected by the lines on the Enneagram Web (image to the left). This creates a web of psycho-social mechanisms and an invitation to develop each type’s energy within us.
The Enneagram also gives us helpful directions when we are in our unique places of stress and growth. It’s an invitation to follow a map that guides us to our best selves.
(Image Description: A large circle with the numbers 1-9 surrounding. Each number is connected to two other numbers by straight lines. 1 is connected to 4 and 7, 2 is connected to 4 and 8, 3 is connected to 9 and 6, 4 is connected to 1 and 2, 5 is connected to 8 and 7, 6 is connected to 9 and 3, 7 is connected to 5 and 1, 8 is connected to 5 and 2, 9 is connected to 6 and 3)
CONNECTION, INTEGRATION, AND LIBERATION
The Enneagram is a tool that we can use to make meaning of our lives, understand the world around us, and to bring language to what’s happening inside our bodies. When we are able to share that language, we can connect and empathize with each other in ways that were otherwise unimaginable. This allows us to build up our communities to be resilient through conflict and thrive in collaboration.
Integrating Enneagram theory into everyday life can be challenging. While there are many resources out there, they tend to be inaccessible, expensive, and highly focused solely on self work rather than collective collaboration. Our practice focuses on real-life applications of this theory with the people closest to you so that we can grow in community together.
The Enneagram has changed the lives of millions of people. It allows us to see ourselves and each other through a helpful lens that is rooted in the the good of each other, and the grace to grow through our challenging patterns. As practitioner Ian Morgan Cron would say- the Enneagram does not put you in a box, but rather, reveals the box you are already in, and, how to get out of it. Doing this work can be really challenging alone—but that’s why we’re in this together!
REFLECTION matters
Harm can happen to us and happen by us. We know that the most harm can happen when we are not taking the time to reflect on our needs and reactions—especially if we hold identities with power. There are many tools in the world to do this work; but so often, we hit road blocks on our way to find our best selves.
Working together in a positive, trauma-informed practice allows for the deep reflection required for sustainable growth in ourselves.
