About this event

Looking to grow professionally, artistically, spiritually?

Great leaders and artists are mindful of the environments they create and the way they communicate in order to achieve their goals. The Enneagram is an important tool that can provide valuable insight for this strategic process. It shows us that our lens isn't the only valid way of viewing the world, and it teaches us how to appreciate others' worldviews so we might have more compassion in our interactions.

The Enneagram helps us discover what our instincts are and how to train them to respond in healthier ways. It explores how humans use different strategies of coping with the world, based off nine basic human fears and desires. It is a dynamic system that doesn't box you in; rather, it helps pinpoint unhealthy patterns in your life and allows you to be a more whole, balanced person.

There are many layers to the Enneagram! Knowing your type is the first step, but what else does it offer? And why triangles?

Research suggests that grouping words or concepts into groups of three is more memorable and appealing. Our brains automatically pick up patterns and look for relationships and meaning in the world around us. Three is the smallest number we need to create a pattern, the perfect combination of brevity and rhythm. In folklore and ancient Greek philosophy, three was considered the number of harmony, wisdom, and understanding.

Grouping the 9 Types into various sets of three showcases the similarities & differences between personalities. Each provides a new layer of insight into our personalities. The Enneagram gives us a vocabulary to articulate things we know to be true about ourselves, and it allows us to see others with more curiosity and compassion.
