Explore the Enneagram as a dynamic tool for revealing and evolving the wholeness of who you are, so you can live in full embodied presence with profound self-acceptance and empathy for others — and bring new levels of wellbeing, wisdom, and creativity to your life and relationships.
Many paths of personal growth and spiritual evolution instill in us the desire, the aspiration, to let go of the ego... which some believe to be at the root of human suffering.
In practical terms, however, how can we live in this material world without the ego?
How would we manage the day-to-day activities necessary to maintain our lives and livelihood? How would we accomplish what’s needed to care for ourselves and our loved ones — to ensure that we have food, shelter, and the means to survive... and thrive?
Maybe it’s not about rejecting your ego, but learning to fully accept and understand it, to embrace the uniqueness of your personality... and then use that radical self-understanding as a launching pad into a dynamic process of becoming your most authentic Self.
According to Russ Hudson, celebrated Enneagram scholar, innovative thinker, and teacher, you can cultivate the gifts of your ego as a means to shift into embodied presence, kindness, self-awareness, and true essence...
... and to meet each moment of life — whether joyful or challenging — with wisdom, love, presence, and emergent creativity.
The Enneagram is one of the most profound vehicles for this crucial transformation — and you can join Russ and guest faculty Jessica Dibb on a 8-module journey to explore the true purpose of this powerful system, beyond type and fixated identity — as a dynamic tool for moving from self-rejection to full integration so you can radiate the wholeness of who you are.
They’ll help you cultivate the capacity to sit in your own skin with ease and a sense of empowerment, clarity, groundedness, compassion, and love — for yourself and others.
The Enneagram was initially created not as a means to determine our type, but to provide customized, deeply personal ways for us to approach our psychological development and spiritual growth. It was designed as a gateway to presence in our daily lives and relationships.
In this course, you’ll discover how, when you reject your ego, you’re actually rejecting a part of yourSelf, and suppressing an essential piece of who you are — an aspect of yourself that’s replete with gifts of raw, unconstrained insights and emotions.
Instead, Russ and Jessica will assist you in revealing what you over-identify with, and then cultivating the capacity to be more than that.
(Following this course, Russ will take a break from new teaching projects beyond those already in motion. So this will be your last chance for a while to learn directly from him about his life-changing work with the Enneagram.)
Befriending & Transcending All 9 Types Within You
Each of us has parts of all nine Enneagram types within us. As you come to understand how the various types are manifesting inside you and showing up in your relationships, you’ll develop greater empathy for yourself and those around you... and kindness will flow more easily.
From there, you’ll be better equipped to see the more meaningful, nuanced, even miraculous experiences of your everyday life more clearly — no matter what’s happening in our rapidly changing and sometimes tumultuous world.
Through potent experiential practices and the transmission of profound Enneagram wisdom, Russ and Jessica will open you to the nine distinct qualities within you, working with each of the three centers — body, heart, and mind.
You’ll learn what you can change about yourself, and befriend (rather than reject) what you can’t. And, you’ll claim your authentic Self, rather than who you’ve imagined yourself to be through your (understandable) ego fixation.
They’ll guide you through the core psychological patterns, shadows, and higher qualities of all the types, and help you address your core suffering... igniting your natural, dynamic tendency toward integration.
And you’ll find a way into the deeper mysteries of the heart, where you’ll discover authentic kindness, inherent value, and exquisite sensitivity.
You’ll walk away from this program having experienced how to work with the Enneagram in ways that dissolve patterns of the ego that are fundamentally defensive and reactive — without rejecting any part of yourself — so you can live in your most authentic, essential nature, with the ability to truly inhabit your body.
In this wisdom-filled, highly experiential course, you’ll:
- Gain a deep understanding and visceral embodiment of the Enneagram, not as a point of fixated identity, but as a dynamic tool to reveal the wholeness of who you are, and emerge from the box in which you’ve imprisoned yourself
- Create a custom practice for yourself so you can carry on the work you’ll do in the course
- Explore the paradox of ego within the 3 centers — body, heart, and head
- Learn about the origins, history, and teachings of the Enneagram symbol itself as a much-needed framework for working with the types
- Learn how to dissolve patterns of the ego that are fundamentally defensive and reactive without rejecting any part of yourself, so you can live in your most authentic, essential nature
- Work with your core suffering to ignite your natural, dynamic tendency toward integration
- Learn the core psychological patterns, shadows, and higher qualities of all the types
- Open to all 9 qualities within you, to meet each moment of life — easy or challenging, loss or gain, pain or pleasure — with wisdom, love, presence, and emergent creativity
- Experience the 3 forms of human intelligence through guided processes — body-based kinesthetic intelligence, heart-based emotional intelligence, and head-based cognitive intelligence
- Understand more about what it means to truly inhabit your body — to develop the “felt sense” crucial to the development of the 3 centers
- Find a way into the deeper mysteries of the heart, where you’ll discover authentic kindness, inherent value, and exquisite sensitivity and compassion for yourself and others
- See how your willingness to be present with what you’re feeling here and now expedites and empowers your journey into greater wholeness
- And much more...
This is an outstanding opportunity to learn and benefit from Russ and Jessica’s decades of working with students. You’ll witness your own evolution as Russ shares his extraordinary ability to explore people’s fears, confusion, and misperceptions... and helps them experience life-changing discoveries of truth and greater awareness.
And Jessica will transmit her extraordinary gift of assisting people in holding their tender, vulnerable, hurt, hidden parts... as they unveil their gifts and golden potential.
What You’ll Discover in These 8 Modules
In this 8-part transformational intensive, Russ and Jessica will guide you through the fundamental Enneagram wisdom and practices you’ll need to reveal and evolve the wholeness of who you are, so you can live in full embodied presence with profound self-acceptance and empathy for others.
This course will feature step-by-step teachings and experiential practices with Russ and Jessica. 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 experience the Enneagram as a dynamic tool for revealing and evolving the wholeness of who you are.
Module 1: Rediscovering the True Purpose of the Enneagram — From Fixated Identity to Dynamic Realization
In this opening module, you’ll explore how the original purpose of the Enneagram was not merely to “type” people, but to provide customized and personal approaches to psychological development and spiritual growth.
Russ will walk you through the different aspects of the Enneagram symbol, and share how the symbol itself invites you to think outside the box and beyond rigid categories... and shows you how to be more present with the continual dynamism of your personal and collective life.
You’ll learn how each type describes a specific spiritual capacity, and how that capacity can also become your primary way of losing your direct sense of awareness.
In this session with Russ, you’ll discover:
- How the Enneagram is fundamentally a tool to actualize your ability to be present in your life and relationships
- How awakened consciousness is not transcendence of the human condition, but rather a journey to becoming more authentic in your humanity
- The origins, history, and teachings of the Enneagram symbol as a much-needed framework for working with the 9 types
- The variety of ways that presence can be experienced, and how the Enneagram helps you locate these deeper experiences in the midst of your everyday life
- How to dissolve patterns of the ego that are fundamentally defensive in nature without rejecting any part of your Self
Module 2: Embracing Your Human Experiences to Cultivate Awakened Action
Our egoic consciousness has roots in the three forms of human intelligence — body-based kinesthetic intelligence, heart-based emotional intelligence, and head-based cognitive intelligence. Each of these intelligences, also called centers, can be used either to sustain our ego patterns or, through presence with that center, support the growth of what’s most real in us — our essential nature.
In this module with Russ, you’ll explore how body intelligence can function to sustain ego identity through tension, resistance, numbness, and habitual movement patterns. Or, how it can become the foundation of the felt-sense of Self — the basis of an awakened humanity in us.
Being present to this relationship between these processes can shift you from physical contraction, defensiveness, and rigidity to aliveness, participation, and right action. In this module, Russ will walk you through what the journey from self-rejection to self-acceptance looks like in the body center, with points 8, 9, and 1 in all of us. And, you’ll learn how the core suffering creates a shadow.
In this session, you’ll:
- Learn the core psychological patterns of points 8, 9, and 1
- Understand more about what it means to truly inhabit your body — to develop the felt sense crucial to the development of the centers
- Gain inspiring insight into the higher qualities of points 8, 9, and 1
- Discover how the core suffering represented by types 8, 9, and 1 creates particular shadow issues that result in rejecting critical aspects of ourselves
- Experience how the conscious decision to work with your core suffering ignites your natural, dynamic tendencies toward integration
Module 3: Healing & Holding Your Human Emotions & Cultivating the Capacities of the Deeper Awakened Heart
In this module, Jessica will focus on working with the emotional center and explore some of its deeper aspects. You’ll learn how the various states of feeling can function to sustain ego identity through reactivity, identification with moods, attachments to likes and dislikes, and shame-based notions of Self and love. Or, how each feeling can serve as a way into the deeper mysteries of the heart where you’ll discover authentic kindness, inherent value, and exquisite sensitivity to yourself and others.
Rather than the Enneagram serving as an overlay of fixated identity, you can center your work in this dynamic process to assist your self-healing, self-development, and self-actualization.
In this session, Jessica will walk you through what the journey from self-rejection to self-acceptance looks like in the heart center, with points 2, 3, and 4 in all of us.
You’ll discover:
- The core psychological patterns of points 2, 3, and 4
- The egoic paradox in the heart center — and how to relax the ego’s emotional reactions and attachments
- Inspiring insight into the higher qualities of points 2, 3, and 4
- How the core suffering of types 2, 3, and 4 creates a particular shadow issue that rejects critical aspects of ourselves
- How your willingness to be with what you’re feeling here and now expedites and empowers your journey into greater wholeness
Module 4: Living Guidance for Personal Transformation & Awakened Living — Part 1
Applying and integrating clear understanding into the unique experiences, stories, and patterns of your life can have an exponential impact on your transformative journey. Though there are nine temperaments and types, and nine essential qualities, every human being is differentiated by a multiplicity of factors — particularly our life experiences.
In this session of extended Q&A, student sharing, and mentoring with Jessica, you’ll have an opportunity to attune your individual path to transformation.
As a result of Jessica’s devotion to living and teaching from the true orientation and purpose of the Enneagram, she’ll bring creative brilliance and innovation to your learning and inner work. And, with her unparalleled capacity to attune to and hold people’s emotions, needs, yearnings, and gifts... she’ll support you as you relax your heart, hold your suffering with compassion, recognize and potentiate your gifts, and access the deeper qualities and capacities of your heart.
In this module, you’ll have a chance to:
- Experience living applications of Enneagram wisdom to affect and evolve your individual and collective humanity and potential through extended Q&A, dialogues, and guided exercises and practices
- Engage in a practice of awakening each of the centers and integrating them
Module 5: Discovering the Qualities of Higher Mind
In this module with Russ, you’ll engage with the intellectual center and learn some of its deeper aspects.
You’ll look at how the various patterns of thinking and perceiving can function to sustain ego identity through distraction, detachment, dissociation, and ongoing inner chatter. Or, how they can serve as a way into your true mind, where you’ll discover clarity, inner guidance, and vision.
By locating your sense of inner quiet and focus, you can find a joyful inner freedom and a capacity to direct and focus your attention as needed — which is crucial in our rapidly changing world and in the challenges ahead.
In this session, you’ll explore what the journey from self-rejection to self-acceptance looks like in the head center, with points 5, 6, and 7 in all of us.
You’ll understand:
- The core psychological patterns of points 5, 6, and 7
- The relationship between your deeper mind, your ability to actually think clearly, and typical mind chatter
- More deeply the higher qualities of points 5, 6, and 7
- How the core suffering of types 5, 6, and 7 create a particular shadow issue that rejects critical aspects of yourself
- That recognizing the actual truth of your situation ignites your natural, dynamic tendencies toward integration
Module 6: Living Guidance for Personal Transformation & Awakened Living — Part 2
In this session of extended Q&A, student sharing, and mentoring with Russ, you’ll have an opportunity to attune your individual path to transformation.
As a result of Russ’ decades of experience with students and a constantly growing compassion for each of the types, he has a prodigious capacity to perceive and articulate the connections and truths of each aspect of the Enneagram — expressing the most esoteric of principles in accessible and inspiring ways.
His ability to connect the nuance and expansiveness of the teachings with the human experience will help you relax any fear-based perceptions and allow your mind to open to generating new behaviors... so you can see yourself, your relationships, and the world with greater awareness.
In this module, you’ll have an opportunity to:
- Experience living applications of Enneagram wisdom to affect and evolve your individual and collective humanity and potential through extended Q&A, dialogues, and guided exercises and practices
- Engage in a practice of awakening each of the centers and integrating them
Module 7: Knowing, Embracing & Experiencing Your Whole Integrated Potential — An Experiential Journey Into All 9 Energies Within You
When you understand your fixations, the corresponding habits of attention, and addictive patterns that limit your life force and impede your potential, you gain the grounded courage and awareness necessary to enable behavioral changes and inner transformation.
And when you can experience the felt sense of life force and self-acceptance in your body, and you can support your heart’s appreciation and care for this new level of intimacy with yourself and life, a new order of wholeness, integration, and awakening transpires.
Integrated, 3-centered experiences of relaxing ego fixation frees your life force to embrace and nourish the capacities of all nine expressions of presence within you. The more open you become to all nine qualities, the more you can meet each moment of life — easy or challenging, loss or gain, pain or pleasure — with wisdom, love, presence, and emergent creativity.
In this highly experiential session with Jessica, you’ll:
- Engage in practices that open a felt sense, attunement, and care for all 9 qualities in yourself... including working with 9 breathing patterns, sensation and movement, inner inquiry, and meditative journeys
- Be guided through practices that assist you in meeting your core suffering with compassion, depth, and clarity
- Experience the intrinsic interconnectedness of all 9 essential qualities in yourself, to deepen self-acceptance and contact with your authentic self... rather than who you’ve imagined yourself to be through your ego fixation
- Deepen your compassion, understanding, and appreciation for the fears, shadows, and strengths of others
Module 8: Guidance for Your Ongoing Journey — Experiential Clarity & Suggested Practices for Your Path
When we study the Enneagram, we learn that we unconsciously “split” ourselves. We divide ourselves into light and shadow... into an either/or perspective.
By this time, however, you’ll likely perceive your own life from the perspective of the Law of Three.
In this final session, Russ will guide you as you look at some of the prevailing paradoxes in your life — internal and external, self-care and serving others, ego and essence — and see how they pertain to your own very particular and personal journey.
Russ will help you:
- Explore some of the key splits in your life — the paradoxes — at a whole new level
- Engage in illuminating inquiry practices for the 3 centers — body, heart, and head
- Discover more ways to embody the 3 centers in everyday action
- Learn more ways to interrupt self-rejecting behaviors and build self-acceptance
- Create a practice for yourself to carry on the work you’ve done in the course

“Thank you, Russ and Jessica, for illuminating my journey.”
This course helped me continue my journey with myself, and the relational orientation of myself to the world and those intimates in my life. The piece that held the greatest connection for me was “The Dream.” I was drawn into the poem to a very vulnerable place. It was like Jessica was pulling from me my soul as she recited. “Walking on the sands I decided to leave you” was when my ego chose the path of my life, and the real me was left behind. The poem goes on to describe the struggle to get back to myself, and ends with me finding myself again and becoming one, which is what I am starting to experience in the here and now. Thank you, Russ and Jessica, for illuminating my journey.
— Shawna, Calgary, Canada
“As always, Russ and Jessica have given us so much in a very graceful way.”

But I can’t think of another one that more accurately describes my experience.

About Russ Hudson
Russ Hudson has established himself over the past three decades as one of the top teachers and developers of the Enneagram personality typology in the world today. Actively involved in the Enneagram community, Russ is co-founder and president emeritus of The Enneagram Institute, as well as a founding director and former vice president of the International Enneagram Association. He's been writing and teaching full time with The Enneagram Institute since 1991.
Russ has co-authored five bestselling books with Don Richard Riso, including The Wisdom of the Enneagram and Personality Types. These books are widely considered to be not only groundbreaking contributions in the field of Enneagram studies, but also important contributions to the literature of psychological types. The pair developed a scientifically validated test instrument, the Riso-Hudson Type Indicator (RHETI), now considered a standard test in the Enneagram field. The RHETI has been used by numerous Fortune 500 companies.
Russ has a solid background in science, as well as in studies of philosophy and religion. He approaches his work with the Enneagram holding both perspectives. He originally encountered the Enneagram through The Gurdjieff Work, and sees it as a map for personal development and awareness rather than merely as a system for categorizing people. He has emphasized the importance of cultivating presence and mindfulness as a foundation for authentic work with the Enneagram, and has worked diligently to align the study of the Enneagram to spiritual practice, bringing their combined benefit into greater public awareness.
Russ has appeared on Good Morning America and The CBS Morning Show, as well as on several dozen radio and television shows, as an expert on personality types. He has become a popular speaker at conferences and retreat centers around the world, including the Esalen Institute, the Wisdom 2.0 Conference, and the Science and Nonduality Conference (SAND).

A: It’s a great way to engage live and pre-recorded teachings and each other from the comfort of your home! All you need is a computer, mobile device, or telephone. If there’s more than one person in your household taking the course, you’ll each need your own connection. We use Zoom video conferencing to make it just like an in-person event, where you can ask questions and deepen your exploration of the course themes.
There’s no additional charge for connecting to Zoom with your computer or mobile device. Please note that dialing Zoom from your telephone is a toll call; your telephone service provider will charge you according to your existing long-distance calling plan. International access numbers are available.
“I’ve never seen a course so well put together ever...”
I had never participated before in an online course. The packaging, presentation, inclusion, and Facebook postings created a wonderful, safe cocoon within which to participate. I’ve never seen a course so well put together ever — not in all the years of taking college classes — and I had my doubts about doing an online course. The wealth of organization and ease of learning materials and support made this fun as well.

Q: Can you tell me about the private online community group?
A: We’ll have a private online community group for all course participants on Facebook that will support you in making connections with others, sharing insights, engaging in discussions, and completing homework assignments that can supplement your transformational journey.
