The Enneagram is both an ancient tool of self-discovery and a sacred tool for spiritual growth & positive change for today.
“The Enneagram brings into focus an essential truth of the soul. It does this in a way that most people have seldom or never experienced… we must honor the Enneagram as a tool of spiritual revolution.” Richard Rohr
The Enneagram is a nine-pointed geometric figure that illustrates nine different but interconnected personality types. Stemming from the Greek words ennea (nine) and grammos (a written symbol), the nine-pointed Enneagram symbol represents nine distinct strategies for related to the self, others, and the world.
This tool can be studied simply as identifying one’s personality type and how to apply that knowledge in self-discovery and/or in a more complex setting where one can delve more deeply into all aspects of its intent to be a catalyst for meaningful growth and spiritual transformation.
Several aspects or levels of study included within the Enneagram are: identification of one’s own personality, how it offers help in our personal relationships, in our work/career, and in our spiritual growth. The Enneagram is not a one time, get it/got it, personality assessment. It is a self-discovery process that takes time and encourages its benefits from a supportive community. To fully embrace its intrinsic work, one must continue to study, question, explore, and apply the Enneagram during a lifetime.
