Ego & The Enneagram

This course is intended for anyone who would like to understand how their ego may be getting in the way of the true expression of who they are. themselves and others better and especially At first glance, the Enneagram might look like just another “personality system”: A set of descriptions about character traits. But the system is much deeper than that. It was designed to be used as a tool for not only insight - but understanding and action too. In this course I will introduce you to the dynamics of each enneagram personality type and I will cover how these dynamics may have initially been formed in childhood. This will really deepen your understanding of how these processes play out within yourself. This course is designed to not only introduce you to the enneagram system, but also to help you to recognise and address core fears, motivations and attachments. Learning about how each type has its own set of attitudes, reactions, blind spots and defences can aid you in seeing why you may be having challenges in your happiness and/or relationships. Insight is fundamental to personal growth and to cultivating patience toward others. By the end of this course, you will have more awareness of your own ego and “lens on the world”. It will also give you an understanding of the “lens” of others, their attitudes and reactions. This will develop the scope of your ability to understand, be compassionate and have patience in your interactions and relationships. The concepts presented in this course are drawn from the fileds of psychology and transpersonal psychology in combination with the teachings of Richard Rohr, Don Riso, Russ Hudson, Jeremy Wagner, Ginger Lapido-Bogda. Join me on this introductory workshop as we explore the fundamentals of the Enneagram system. You will benefit from a having a pen and notebook handy to take some notes as some of the concepts are complex. This course is the pre-requisite to the follow up Ego & The Ennegaram courses for couples, parents and growth strategies.
