Coach & Business Consultant
Beatrice Chestnut, PhD
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.
And right now, as many of us are facing an unexpected shutdown of our normal activities... we can choose to use this time to dig deep into understanding our Enneagram type and the emotional patterns that have structured (and often restricted) our lives for so long.
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.
One of the most authoritative voices and thought leaders 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, embrace your fears and disowned shadow side — and become empowered to create healthy, stable, loving relationships as you reach your own highest potential.
During this illuminating 7-part course, you’ll discover:
- 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
What You’ll Discover in These 7 Modules
In this 7-step transformational intensive, Beatrice will guide you through the fundamental body-mind-spirit skills and competencies you’ll need to 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.
This course will feature teachings, training sessions, and experiential practices with Beatrice. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to explore the shadow sides of your Enneagram type.
Module 1: The Concept of the Shadow & Each Enneagram Type’s Blind Spots (October 1)
In this opening session, 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.
As you’ll discover, the Enneagram reveals what you’re blind to in yourself — and why, as Beatrice says, you’re blind to the fact that you are blind to it!
You’ll explore the Enneagram map as a pathway for seeing and learning to accept your shadow — and why knowing the blind spots of the nine types helps illuminate the dark side within the human psyche and the people in your life.
Drawing on inspiring quotes and examples from Jungian literature and other great works, Beatrice will set the context for a deeper examination of each type’s unconscious patterns.
And you’ll explore how becoming more aware of your disowned habitual tendencies makes room for a revolution in your personal growth process.
In this module, you’ll discover:
- The meaning of the shadow, both generally and as an aspect of your Enneagram personality type

You’ll begin your exploration of the Enneagram’s shadows with types 8 and 9.
Beatrice will walk you through the blind spots in the type 8 shadow and the type 9 shadow — and share what these two body-based types can do to revolutionize their psychological and spiritual development.
You’ll develop a much deeper understanding of these types as you explore which emotions and other aspects of experience they tend to avoid being aware of — and what they can do to integrate these blind spots to further their growth journey.
In this module you’ll discover:
- The blind spots of Enneagram types 8 and 9 — 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 Eights and Nines avoid, often without realizing it
- How Eights and Nines can make their specific unconscious patterns, beliefs, and emotions more conscious
- Positive changes that happen when Eights and Nines integrate their blind spots — and ways healing practitioners can support them
Module 3: Recognizing & Integrating the Shadows of Types 1 & 2 (October 15)
What shadows tend to be most prevalent for Enneagram types 1 and 2? What tends to remain unconscious in these types — and how can they make these patterns conscious?
Beatrice will share the blind spots of Ones and Twos. She’ll share how to best recognize these blind spots — and how to become more aware of them to best grow psychologically and spiritually.
As you explore which emotions and patterns Ones and Twos tend to avoid, you’ll discover steps they can take to integrate these blind spots to deepen their growth path.
In this module, you’ll explore:
- The specific emotions Ones and Twos make an effort to avoid
- How Ones and Twos develop their blind spots — and what tends to remain unconscious for them
- How integrating their blind spots can result in transformation for Ones and Twos — and the kind of support they need most
- What happens when you remain blind to your shadow self
- The ways Ones and Twos can take their patterns, beliefs, and emotions from unconscious to conscious
Module 4: Recognizing & Integrating the Shadows of Types 3 & 4 (October 22)
During this class, you’ll discover which shadows tend to be most prevalent for Enneagram types 3 and 4.
You’ll explore which emotions tend to remain unconscious in these types — and how they can bring these patterns into their conscious mind.
As you explore which emotions and patterns Threes and Fours try so hard to avoid, you’ll discover steps they can take to integrate these blind spots into their whole person.
In this module, you’ll explore:
- The ways life can improve for Threes and Fours when they integrate their blind spots
- How healing practitioners can best support Threes and Fours
- The shadows that tend to remain most unrealized in these types, and why
- The consequences of turning a blind eye to your shadows
- The ways Threes and Fours can make their hidden emotional patterns more conscious
Module 5: Recognizing & Integrating the Shadows of Types 5 & 6 (November 5)
In this module, you’ll learn about the shadows of Enneagram types 5 and 6 — what tends to remain unconscious in these types and how they can make these type-specific unconscious patterns more conscious.
You’ll look at the blind spots of these two head-based types to understand how they can recognize them and work to become more aware of them as a way of revolutionizing their psychological and spiritual development.
You’ll develop a much deeper understanding of these types through learning about what emotions and patterns they tend to avoid being aware of — and what they can do to integrate these blind spots to further their growth journey.
In this module, you’ll explore:
- The blind spots of Enneagram types 5 and 6 — what tends to remain unconscious in these types, why they develop these particular blind spots, and the negative results of staying blind to them
- Specific emotions Fives and Sixes avoid becoming aware of
- How Fives and Sixes can make their specific unconscious patterns, beliefs, and emotions more conscious
- The positive outcomes Fives and Sixes can achieve when they integrate their blind spots — and how healing practitioners can most effectively work with them
Module 6: Recognizing & Integrating the Shadows of Type 7 + The Archetypal Hero’s Journey (November 12)
As with all types, certain blind spots tend to remain unconscious for Sevens — and they can make these type-specific unconscious patterns more conscious.
Beatrice will share the blind spots in a Seven’s shadow — and explain how they can uplevel their psychological and spiritual development.
You’ll learn which emotions and other aspects of experience they tend to avoid being aware of — and what they can do to integrate these blind spots to further their growth journey.
In the second half of this module, you’ll explore the archetypal hero’s journey in depth.
You’ll explore how this journey maps a path of transformation and growth through a kind of “initiation” in which you confront your shadow. As you’ll discover, the Enneagram serves as a symbol of this journey.
You’ll deepen your understanding of your own archetypal path to wholeness through compelling examples of this life-changing process from myths, fairy tales, and great works of literature.
In this module, you’ll explore:

- The role of facing the shadow within the hero’s journey, highlighted through examples from myths, stories, and fairy tales that clarify what it means to integrate the shadow
Module 7: Applying the Archetypal Hero’s Journey to Your Growth Path (November 19)
In this final class, you’ll explore how the Enneagram maps out the archetypal hero’s journey — as Beatrice shares what it can reveal about your growth path.
You’ll come to understand even more about how you can face the “monsters within”.... and experience more of your full potential when you plot out and engage in your own journey toward wholeness.
Inspired by examples of this archetypal transformative path from great works of literature, including Homer’s Odyssey and Dante’s Divine Comedy, you’ll discover how to apply all you’ve learned to clearly articulate your own growth steps based on this archetypal path.
You’ll receive some final Enneagram-based tips and practices to expand your awareness — and travel the road back home to remember your true self.

What People Are Saying About Beatrice Chestnut...
“... unlike any other Enneagram experience I have ever had.”
The work that Beatrice does is unlike any other Enneagram experience I have ever had. It is an amazing thing to do this work together as a community. I am stunned by the level of personal growth I experienced following the last retreat and look forward to the next.
— Anonymous
“I feel so blessed and fortunate to have found this program...”
For many years I have been looking for a process, a program, and a teacher that could more deeply open the transformational power of the Enneagram for me. I wanted to move beyond the Enneagram of Personality to an exploration of the deep liberating potential I knew was present in this amazingly sophisticated psycho/spiritual map. I feel so blessed and fortunate to have found this program and this process. I am so incredibly grateful.
— Diane
“... levels that you aren’t taught by, I would say, 95% of teachers out there.”
There are levels to this that you aren’t taught on a website, levels that you aren’t taught by, I would say, 95% of teachers out there. And so it’s transformational work. This week has challenged me in a lot of different ways.
— Milton
“... wise and actionable insight into how [to] best work with the head, body, and heart types.”
Beatrice provides wise and actionable insight into how coaches can best work with the head, body, and heart types. Her deep knowledge and skill come through in every morsel of this training. If you are committed to coaching your clients through change and you use the Enneagram (as background or foreground), this is the program for you.
— Cathy
“The many common misunderstandings... are now explained, thanks to her work.”
I highly recommend Beatrice Chestnut’s contribution. She provides us with a clarity of distinction regarding each of the 27 subtypes that makes publications from even some of the best Enneagram authors seem like vague, outdated, and inaccurate guesswork in comparison. The many common misunderstandings, contradictions, and inconsistencies about the types are now explained, thanks to her work.
— Cassius
“[Chestnut] did really well reminding readers of the Enneagram’s true intent...”
Although I am not a huge fan of using the Enneagram as a tool for “typing” in the workplace, I felt that Chestnut did a great job of reassuring readers of her same hesitations. I felt she did really well reminding readers of the Enneagram’s true intent and to not get lost in simply typing ourselves and even using that as a way to coach or critique others.
— Jake Lynch
“... very helpful for both my personal growth as well as the growth I strive for at our company.”
As someone who works in leadership development, I found this to be very helpful for both my personal growth as well as the growth I strive for at our company.
— Matt

Whether you are a coach or working professional — and whether or not you have any other Enneagram book — this is an invaluable book! Written thoughtfully and masterfully to guide people to being their best selves. Covers many angles of how to think about and apply the Enneagram.
— J. Williams

More Praise for Beatrice Chestnut...
“Work of this caliber invigorates the dialogue between science, mysticism, and psychology...”
I am especially pleased to see Chestnut’s credible research support for the renewal of this historic system in a postmodern setting. Work of this caliber invigorates the dialogue between science, mysticism, and psychology, streams of thought that have become estranged.
— Helen Palmer, renowned Enneagram teacher, and author of The Enneagram: Understanding Yourself and the Others in Your Life and The Enneagram in Love and Work
“... interweaves theoretical and practical information...”
The Complete Enneagram title befits [Beatrice’s] work beautifully. This work is clear, thoughtful, comprehensive, and compelling. Examples of the types speaking for themselves, along with the historical roots of the Enneagram, further enrich Chestnut’s work. She artfully interweaves theoretical and practical information, and enhances this work with her insightful psychology background.
— David Daniels, MD, clinical professor, Department of Psychiatry, Stanford University, and Enneagram pioneer in the Narrative Tradition
“... abundant theory and practice for both the personal and professional arenas...”
With the best subtype information currently available in print and an exquisite intermixing of the psychological, spiritual, and developmental, The Complete Enneagram more than deserves its title. Pleasurable to read and with abundant theory and practice for both the personal and professional arenas, I will encourage all of my clients to read it, even those who are already Enneagram-savvy. It is solid, classic, bold, even-handed, and original!
— Ginger Lapid-Bogda, PhD, founder of The Enneagram in Business network, and author of Bringing Out the Best in Yourself at Work
