Beatrice Chestnut
Delve deep into the shadow sides of your Enneagram type, unveiling the mysteries of who you are and gaining a roadmap to living a more harmonious, fulfilling, soul-led life — even in these difficult times.
The Enneagram’s ancient wisdom gives us a map for human purpose and possibility... and lays out a modern-day, personalized path to wholeness for each of us.
While this tool for transformation illuminates our gifts and provides a framework for our personal and spiritual evolution, it also reveals how we’re often held back by the shadow side of our personality — our own deeply rooted, unconscious patterns that are hard for us to see.
These hidden parts can be so difficult to observe in ourselves that, without even meaning to, we resist even acknowledging these patterns... these blocks that we must transform to support our highest good.
Join Enneagram teacher, psychotherapist, and author Beatrice Chestnut as she guides you to clearly observe and embrace your whole self — including the shadow side — through the lens of the Enneagram.
You’ll break through denial and other defenses that prevent you from seeing what’s happening at a deeper level, both within you and around you.
As a thought leader and one of the most authoritative voices in the Enneagram movement for the last 30 years, Beatrice first learned about the system from pioneering Enneagram expert David Daniels, MD.
Beatrice is beloved by her students for walking her talk — and she’s used the Enneagram as a lifelong tool for expanding her own inner work... firmly believing in its power to raise global consciousness and create a more positive, sustainable, and self-aware world.
She’ll show you how to use the Enneagram as your guide to access a deeper, more compassionate understanding of yourself and those around you — as you uncover the inner resilience to make the very best of your life.
The Enneagram can be a window into understanding the triggers and difficult behaviors of others, as well as how you may be projecting your own shadow onto someone else.
Its insights can shed light on what may be preventing you from living harmoniously with your loved ones, especially while sheltering in place.
You’ll cultivate a deeper sense of compassion for those around you — and for yourself.
With Beatrice as your guide, you’ll fully observe who you truly are. You’ll learn to embrace your fears and the disowned shadow side — empowering you to reach your highest potential, while creating healthy, stable, loving relationships.
During this experiential course, you’ll:
- How becoming aware of your shadow aspects helps you develop enhanced self-awareness and wholeness
- The blind spots of each Enneagram type — including the shadows that remain unconscious in these types and why they develop their particular blind spots
- The consequences of staying blind to parts of the self
- Specific emotions each type avoids, often without realizing it
- How each type can make their specific unconscious patterns, beliefs, and emotions more conscious
- Positive changes that happen when each type integrates their blind spots — and ways healing practitioners can support them
- The path of transformation mapped by the archetypal hero’s journey — and how you can follow this road back to your true self
- The role of facing the shadow within the archetypal hero’s journey of transformation
- Examples of shadow integration found in myths, stories, and fairy tales
- What each type must do to make progress toward greater self-awareness
- How healing practitioners and therapists can use the Enneagram to gain powerful insights into a client’s personality and challenges

In this opening week, Beatrice will share the definition of the shadow — and explain how becoming aware of your shadow aspects helps you develop enhanced self-awareness and wholeness.

Rising Above the Instinctual Subtypes
Join psychotherapist and author Beatrice Chestnut, along with the founder of Mundo Eneagrama, Uranio Paes, as they introduce their upcoming collaboration — a 5-day intensive workshop designed to help people use a deeper knowledge of their instinctual sequence and personality type to initiate and make notable progress in a program of inner work. Drawing on Uranio's intuitive understanding of the instincts, and Beatrice's extensive work describing the 27 subtypes, this session will provide guidance on how to use these elements in transformational growth work.
During this illuminating session, you'll discover:
- An understanding of the interaction between the instincts and the emotional passion — something that hasn't been clear in much of the Enneagram literature & teaching
- New insight into how the instincts operate within the personality to stimulate the most unconscious level of reactive behavior... and how this process can be observed & intercepted by doing the inner work
- A preview of how Uranio and Bea will work together in upcoming workshops to support people in developing conscious awareness around their subtype behaviors in a way that can help them grow
