Enneagram

The Enneagram delves beneath personality types to help you understand why you think, believe and therefore act, the way you do. The Enneagram is powerful tool to assist you in changing from the inside out. Through the understanding created by the Enneagram and the power of Holy Spirit, we are able to push through places where we have been stuck, find the freedom and power to let go of destructive patterns and develop new life-giving thinking and behaviours. You will learn to know and love yourself in a way that empowers you to live in the unforced rhythms of God’s grace. A rhythm of convergence that brings peace, power and passion to all your endeavours.

What is the Enneagram?

The Enneagram shines the light, on our humanity from the inside out. David Daniels early pioneer of the Enneagram said, “It’s a system I stumbled on years ago. …At first it was difficult for me to publicly own this remarkable system because of its connections to spiritual life and paucity of research backing. … Because this system is so powerful, so deep, so life enhancing, I just could not do anything else but finally own it publicly…. I believe it’s truly the MOST PROFOUND tool I’ve ever come across in my 50+ years as a doctor, therapist, professor, lecturer, teacher and author to help people find, build, and sustain amazing, loving, intimate and fulfilling relationships.

The Enneagram outlines nine complex views of the world. We gravitate to one lens to fulfil our need for love, worth and security. To live out of one lens may help us to be very specialized in one aspect of our life but also very limited in others. We direct our energy to have our needs met and often over time the patterns that we have created are less effective and become self-sabotaging. Through awakening to self with compassion , the understanding created by the Enneagram and the power of Holy Spirit, we are able to find the courage and power to let go of destructive patterns and develop new life-giving thinking and behaviours.

The Gifts of the Narrative Tradition

By Terry Saracino, Founding President of the Narrative Enneagram The Narrative Tradition, based on interviewing and interacting, is a process and Invites us into a relationship with our inner territory. We use the content of the Enneagram and make an experience of it. When we describe our patterns on panels using our capacity for self-observation, we began to see them differently. We get some distance from them. Underlying motivations become clearer. Something clicks. Our patterns begin to loosen.

Helen Palmer writes: “…The Enneagram is an “inside job” …The primary value of the Enneagram does not come from identifying your type based on external behaviors, but from a deeper understanding of how behavioral patterns relate to your focus of attention, motivation and personal experience.

The Enneagram Spectrum

Dr. Wagner combines panels with science-based research to give a well-rounded experience of the Enneagram.  “Dr. Jerome Wagner, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, supervisor, consultant in private practice, and emeritus faculty member in the Department of Psychology and Institute of Pastoral Studies at Loyola University, Chicago.

Based on his dissertation a current version of his highly researched and statistically validated Wagner Enneagram Personality Style Scales (WEPPS) can be taken online at www.WEPSS.com . The WEPSS is the only Enneagram inventory reviewed in Buros’s Mental Measurements Yearbook (15th edition), a recognized assessment evaluator.”
