Enneagram

Begin the Journey of Self-Discovery

For thousands of years, spiritual teachers from many different traditions have reminded us of the richness of the human soul and its spiritual gifts. But without real self-knowledge, it is not possible to awaken to the deeper truths of the soul or to sustain whatever degree of realization we have attained.

One of the most powerful tools for understanding ourselves is the Enneagram, an ancient symbol of unity and diversity, change and transformation.

Recommended by Time magazine as one of the top online personality tests, the Enneagram is a vast and profound system for learning about yourself and others.

Ancient Chinese philosophers said that the most powerful medicine in the world is that which heals the spirit . They said when a person is at peace, the spirit nests in the heart like a dove and all is well within the entire kingdom. The kingdom is who you are, your body, mind and spirit. The Wisdom of the Enneagram’s Road Map to the 9 personality types gives you the power to do your own emotional and spiritual healing by providing you with a fascinating road map to self awareness. 

The Enneagram is a personality type system that has its roots in many traditions like the Greek philosophers, Plato and Pythagoras, the Kabbalah, Jewish Mysticism and Christianity and it has been blended with modern psychological understandings. 

The modern Enneagram provides a road map to understanding your personality in a whole new way.  The study is focused on the 9 personality types. Learning your personality type you gives you some of the same knowledge that Gurdjieff brought back from his travels among ancient mystery schools and monasteries of the early 19th century. This knowledge teaches people how to turn the  Lead of their personalities into the Gold of enlightened awareness.   

In addition to becoming who you are destined to be as a person, the Enneagram, allows you to recognize why the people in your life behave the way the they do, thus giving you the keys to help others unlock their potential and to get along better with friends, family and coworkers.    Awareness encourages understanding and understanding returns us to the truth of love being all there is when the fear, shame and anger have been resolved.
