The Enneagram

The Enneagram is a moving system of interrelating patterns, rather than a bunch of stationary types in stagnation, set apart from each other. Each point relates to, and incorporates, the other points, much like people incorporate each other’s qualities in the process of relating to each other. Each type is not a stand-alone function, but rather part of a constantly moving, flowing, giving and receiving dynamic process. It’s like a living organism.

The Enneagram is more than a house of knowledge. It is a personal growth palace with spiritual levels, treasure chests, maps and tools for journeying over psyche’s terrain, built on ancient foundations and structures, updated with modern functions. We enter through the doors of the nine personality type patterns, explore their descriptions and interrelationships at the foyer, and while marveling at the interesting, intimate, beautiful richness of the décor, we come to notice ourselves in its truth-telling mirrors with magical whispers of our soul, beyond the reflections of who we thought we were.

As we venture further inside, the tour reveals a library of wisdom explaining the maps, tools, treasures and complex connections that, once known, leads into glorious courtyards of possibilities and personal freedoms in all directions.

The Enneagram palace is home to complex combinations of vertically layered Psychological Levels of Health, interconnecting horizontal Lines of Stress and Security, type Triads by essential Centers, wild Instincts, Harmonic Groups, and Hornevian style approaches. Daunting at first glance, when formulas are known, understanding arises more easily, and these combinations unlock doors of life-changing self discoveries and relationship epiphanies.
