The Enneagram is a system of personality that describes patterns of the strategies we use to have our needs met.
The Enneagram describes 2 dimensions — the first provides insights into what we habitually focus our attention on and what’s important to us, and the second is the strategy we use to satisfy those values.
In other words, the Enneagram helps us understand what is important to us and how we go about getting those things that are important to us.
We can use this model as a framework for leveraging strengths and a roadmap for overcoming blind spots and obstacles.

The Enneagram can be a powerful tool to help you know yourself and better understand others.
Understanding your Enneagram type goes far beyond self-discovery. By identifying your strengths and challenges, you can improve communication, problem-solving, and relationships, leading to greater success in your career.
It can help individuals understand their motivations and behaviors, as well as the motivations and behaviors of others, which can lead to more harmonious relationships. Imagine learning that your spouse has a bias towards prioritizing security and safety as a way of caring for you, rather than seeing him or her as someone just full of anxiety. Conversely, they may have a need for doing new and exciting things as a response to their fear of feeling trapped and dealing with painful emotions rather than just thinking they are flighty or irresponsible. It doesn’t make life and relationships less complex, but it certainly gives you insights that may open new pathways for relating.
The Enneagram can be used to help us better understand our own personalities, as well as for developing more self-awareness and self-acceptance. With the Enneagram, we don’t seek to identify as our personalities but rather gain insights that help us understand our patterns and automatic behaviors.
Those insights can help you make different decisions about how you adapt and respond to the world around you. We call these adaptive and maladaptive strategies.
In the workshop, we’ll learn about derailers as
well as accelerators (recommendations for growth).
Finally, appreciating the strengths and challenges of each type, opens us up to more compassion, both for others and for ourselves. These days, compassion seems to be in limited supply.
This fall, join us for a transformational retreat designed to help you unlock deeper self-awareness and turn it into meaningful growth. Through the wisdom of the Enneagram, you’ll gain powerful insights into your patterns and potential (the awareness), identify areas for expansion, and craft intentional goals that align with your true self.
We’ll explore practical strategies and mindful practices to integrate lasting change—so you leave not just inspired, but empowered to create real transformation in your life.
