The Enneagram
Introduction to the Enneagram
The Enneagram of Personality is a dynamic personality typing system based on the observation of human behavior. It outlines nine different personality types with each type operating out of a mix of both natural gifts and developed defensive strategies. Once these gifts and defensive strategies are recognized, self-awareness and behavioral choice increase. The areas of life where these changes can take place are numerous resulting in increased success and satisfaction.

Program Format
Through the use of two 10-week modules, the cohort will gather online (synchronous) for 2 hours of instruction, discussion, and group interaction around the week’s content received a week prior using an online platform (asynchronous.) The first of these modules gives the learner a deep understanding of both Type and Instinctual Bias knowledge while the second module takes the learner into the many ways to use this knowledge to support and guide growth in problem-solving and more effective daily living. This second module also exposes the learner to the unique challenges and opportunities that come with pushing the boundaries of traditional Enneagram into new communities.
Each module will require participants to interact with the material presented to ensure that in the end each will know themselves to be competent as they take this amazing tool into their communities for the good of those communities.
