The Enneagram - a Greek word that describes a diagram (gramma) with nine points (enneá) - is a way of discerning what motivates us to act the way we do. Our personality, something we’ve shaped since infancy, is like a mask we use to interact with and protect ourselves from the world - but it can also prevent us from becoming the person we truly are. It can also get in the way of making meaningful relationships with others. Using the insights from the Enneagram, we can learn not only what motivates us toward creative or destructive behavior, but also how to lean into that creative side and let go of the destructive side. It helps us understand what motivates others, and teaches us compassion and curiosity about those whose behavior often totally baffles us - be that a stranger or your spouse!
We are offering a 10-session video-based curriculum taught by Suzanne Stabile, author of The Road Back to You. She has decades of experience in Enneagram teaching and work. The videos are watched at home on Vimeo and then discussed in class.
“The purpose of this curriculum is not just to teach an intellectual understanding of the Enneagram, although you will get a good grounding in its basic concepts. Knowing your Enneagram number & learning about the Enneagram are not enough to help you work with your personality & promote spiritual growth. Transformation and growth take place as a community of people experiences the Enneagram together. That is why we have called this curriculum The Enneagram Journey—it’s a shared experience designed to help you connect with other members of your group and learn with and from each other.” (from viii of The Enneagram Journey Curriculum)
