The Enneagram is a powerful and dynamic personality system that describes nine distinct and fundamentally different patterns of thinking, feeling and acting. The word “ennea” is Greek for nine and “gram” means model or figure. Hence, the Enneagram is a diagram with nine points representing the nine character patterns. Each of these nine patterns is based
on a particular perceptual filters that determine our worldview. Each of the nine patterns has a belief about what you need in life for survival and satisfaction.
The Enneagram is our oldest typology system. It is thought to have originated in the ancient brotherhood of Sufi sects, & was brought to the west by the Armenian philosopher George I. Gurdjief early last century. It is based on the joining of two numerical progressions, the Law of the Triad & the Law of the Octave. Since that time there has been much development of the system into the most comprehensive character typology.
Why learn the Enneagram?
The purpose of learning one’s egoic structure is not to become a better ego, but to wake up to one’s true nature and stop all false
identification & a life of ‘efforting’. We must however get a firm grip on something before we can really let it go. The Enneagram reveals the nine variations of the basic beliefs which limits us & keeps us separate from
our world. Once these patterns of subconscious identification are brought to light, they can be discarded in the search for the true I. As you determine your type you will discover how you’ve created your world.....

To be established in the truth of yourself, you must be willing to see something of the false identity that has been running your whole life. The Enneagram provides the precise structure of the lock that keeps you in the ‘too safe but not real’ world of the ego. The Enneagram shows how the ego veils the true essence of who you are.
How through unconscious, compulsive or habitual patterning there is a tendency to do more of what doesn’t necessarily work in our lives.
