What if you could tap into pure presence, feel more connected to your intuition AND open your heart and mind to receive all that is here for you and within YOU to share with the world?
What would happen if you could observe with compassion — instead of resisting or fixing — the patterns and early wounds that cause you and others suffering?
And what if these very patterns within you are the path to your divine wisdom, truly loving relationships and a deeper, richer reality?
Those who’ve studied the deeper Enneagram can attest to its extraordinary capacity to offer emotional and spiritual growth. And when this growth is grounded in experiential practices that allow you to embody what you discover about yourself, your transformations endure.
Whether you’re a new or a seasoned seeker, in this new, 9-step journey with three of the world’s leading teachers, you’ll experience the original, living purpose of the Enneagram: a path for self-actualization and awakening.
Experiencing groundedness in your mind, body and heart and awakening to something much more essential, is one purpose of Enneagram. It is also the secret to enduring change.
You can know a lot about your personality type, have great awarenesses about your patterns and the other types’ and yet, the ego’s negative habits persist.
That’s because the Enneagram is not about “typing” yourself or others...
Instead, the Enneagram illuminates what makes you tick — the unique energies and fixations as well as the gifts and ways the ego “co-opts” your attempts to change.
And with these deeper awarenesses, you need experiential practices that help you fully integrate what you learn into your body, mind and heart.
This experiential approach to the Enneagram, which includes self-inquiry, breath practices, meditations, shadow work, movement, writing, journaling and dream work is an important aspect of lasting change.
The deeper Enneagram you’ll explore in this virtual training is ultimately a journey from delusion to awakening, from the fixations in your mind and the wounds in your heart, to presence and your intuitive guidance.
Liberated from the bondage of mental and emotional patterns and habitual ways of relating to yourself, others and the world — you begin to live and love, from your true essence.
This creates massive positive shifts in your relationships, your ability to receive abundance, and the work you do in the world. Profound and enduring shifts.
All of this is possible when you learn how to develop an inner witness and with compassion, observe the ways you may habitually operate, based on your instinctual drives and the ego.
In this new virtual training with Helen Palmer, Russ Hudson and Jessica Dibb, leading teachers of the “deeper” Enneagram, you’ll experience:
This 9-part virtual course is suitable for both beginners and experienced students of the Enneagram. Because of the universal truths about human nature that it reveals, the Enneagram can be of tremendous help to anyone seeking authentic psychological growth and spiritual development.
In its original sense, the Enneagram is so much more than determining one’s “number.” Yet it’s not a spiritual path unto itself. When combined with real practice and method, however, the Enneagram is a very powerful and reliable guide to who you truly are beyond the patterns of your personality.
This virtual training brings together three highly experienced teachers who’ve made it their life’s work to explore different practices, modes of consciousness and methods of development. Helen Palmer, Russ Hudson and Jessica Dibb will share their knowledge of how to work with your type as well as processes and practices they’ve found useful and effective.
Each teaching, discussion and training session will build harmoniously upon the next and features at least one of the three faculty.
The nine types are doorways to deeper aspects of the self. While many systems provide instruction for the inner journey, the specificity of the insights provided by the Enneagram allow you to customize a program of inner work.
The three essential aspects of this inner work using the Enneagram are cultivation of presence, cultivation of inner guidance, and cultivation of consistent experiential practices.
In this module, you’ll discover:
One of the primary reasons we can have personal realizations or spiritual experiences that then don’t seem to integrate into life is because we have many patterns of contracting against life force and leaving presence.
If we’re not present, everything is a mirage, a pseudo-experience, or even a delusion. Supposed breakthroughs are actually unembodied trances. The Enneagram describes brilliantly the precise qualities of presence for each type, helping us recognize the ways we’ve contracted from the life force.
Each Enneagram type is primarily associated with one of the 3 Centers (body, heart and head). When we have a felt sense of being here, we contact somatic intelligence. When we sense that it’s okay for us to feel what we feel, and let our hearts experience what they experience, we contact emotional intelligence.
And when we experience cognitive intelligence and awareness through our "true mind," it enhances our inner guidance and our sense of new possibilities.
And when all 3 Centers are awake and working coherently, we are at our most whole. Alone, each of the 3 Centers can give us access to wisdom, love and presence. In balance and combined, the 3 Centers create an unshakable presence.
In this module, you’ll explore how:
In its original presentation, the Enneagram was not primarily a system of type — more precisely, it did not say that type was a person’s identity. Rather, the type aspect of the Enneagram teachings came from the Desert Fathers of Egypt — the first Christian contemplatives — as a means to look at the forms of suffering that distracted monks from their prayer and meditation.
These teachings were a study of how we lose sight of the Divine. Yet, they also look at how human suffering is transformed by presence and grace into what came to be called the Virtues — the qualities of the awakened heart.
In this module, you’ll discover:
You are more than your patterns. When you learn to be present with your head center, a peaceful spaciousness opens up, giving you more freedom from which you can actually shift more behaviors. The inner chatter boxes and dull states of consciousness can awaken the bright, beautiful qualities of direct knowing.
These qualities are referred to as the Holy Ideas, nine perspectives or vantage points of nondual awareness or of the Higher Intellectual Center, George Gurdjieff’s term for the Illumined Mind. The Holy Ideas aren’t to be strived for; nor is their a finish line in this process.
Yet, as you bring more presence to the habitual patterns of your thoughts and perceptions, alternative views of reality can empower you to open to a much broader range of understanding and response, softening rigid ego patterns, without rejecting them.
In this module, you’ll discover:
Making Changes That Last: Part 1
A whole person is one who has walked with God and wrestled with the devil. — Jung
Many seekers, therapists and spiritual teachers acknowledge frustration about having realizations, followed by seemingly uncontrollable unconscious ego fixations and patterns co-opting the breakthroughs.
Additionally, many people feel unable to sustain true presence and deep, relaxed creative flow in very difficult life situations or when relating or working with others. Every type has different patterns for avoiding presence, withdrawing from full embodiment, and even coopting our gifts and breakthroughs to fuel our defensive behaviors and compensation strategies.
These challenges can be transformed by using the Enneagram to create multidimensional depth practices that help you awaken, heal and transform.
Experiential processes support your capacity for sustained presence and innovative collaboration. When you only understand something conceptually, it doesn’t transform the heart of your existence.
In this module and later, and later in the eighth module, you’ll build upon recognitions that come from the Enneagram and turn them into embodied truth, love and grace in your life.
For this to occur, specific experiential practices will bring your attention to all three major centers — body, heart and head — and to all nine types with their corresponding contractions and gifts.
Through inner inquiry, breath practices, meditations, shadow work, movement, writing, self-expression, poetry, journaling, dream work and more, you’ll use the Enneagram as a tool for addressing and transcending the central challenges on your path of personal growth and spiritual evolution.
In this module, you’ll discover:
It may seem natural to recognize the patterns of your mind and to hear the self-reports of people who see the world differently. Yet, the simple turn of attention that self-reflection requires marks a new stage in your evolving consciousness.
In the language of tradition, self-reflection joins two different levels of consciousness: the subjective level of the brain’s conditioned neural pathways, and the "pure consciousness" of an inner witness.
From the viewpoint of awakening, you can learn to observe your own type structure, recognizing your reactions as they arise and before they fully engage. These capacities of the mind initiate the next stages of development. This process highlights the process of engagement between the biased knowing of our cognitive/emotional/sensate structure... and the intuitive wisdom of an inner witness that reflects reality as it actually is.
During this in-depth session, you’ll discover:
In order for our lives to have meaning and to matter we need to be able to discern what the Buddhists call our Dharma. What is the path for each individual’s soul, and how can we be awake to what our soul is being called to do?
Everyone wants to have a life of love, meaning and of purpose, so inner guidance and intuition is the inherent capacity to follow the unfolding of the true life force and its desirable manifestations in each moment. We also need to develop this capacity in order to support the collective — its potential as the human species and its capacity to evolve spiritually.
In this module you’ll explore:
Making Changes That Last: Part 2
A whole person is one who has walked with God and wrestled with the devil. — Jung
A conceptual understanding of the type structures doesn’t transform the heart of your existence. In this module, Part 2 of “Making Changes That Last,” you’ll continue learning experiential practices to focus your attention on the 3 Centers of body, heart and head — and on all nine types’ corresponding contractions and gifts.
You’ll learn to listen to, understand and work with all points of view from a place of compassion, presence and curiosity. This will not only lead to greater personal wholeness; it will expand your skills as a healer or leader of positive change.
In this module, you’ll experience:
By the final module, you’ll be deeply and consistently engaged in three-centered awareness and practices that unmask your blind spots, open up multidimensional awareness and differentiations and nuances of growth, and support your transformation and awakening.
You have started to create internal structures and terrain that make you more available to embodying love, wisdom and presence in every moment. Living with the implications of this is a journey of profound change.
All three teachers come together in this culminating module to open you more fully to integration, and engage in a lively Q&A session with you and other participants.
We’ll explore, practice and dialogue together about:
In addition to the transformational 9-part virtual course, you’ll receive these powerful training sessions with leading visionaries and teachers. These bonus sessions complement the course — and promise to take your understanding and practice to an even deeper level.
This is an intimate "kitchen table" conversation between Enneagram pioneers Helen Palmer and Jessica Dibb — unrehearsed and unplugged — of the faculty speaking from their experiences and learning from each other.

This meditation will highlight the most important growth areas for your personal journey and help you better understand and relate to others. You’ll find this meditation to be a unique and powerful addition to your journey.

Well, simply over the top. The instructors were involved with the class from start to finish. It was one of those classes where each session was a suspense waiting to hear more information. I would tell anyone who wants to learn about the Enneagram that this is the class for that to happen. I would take this class again and I would refer it to my friends.

With Jessica and Russ’ expert holding of the space, I was able to grasp what happens to pull me away from my experience of presence, as well as the operation of all of the nine Enneagram energies in me. Puzzles that I had been pondering for years about my relationship to receiving were resolved, as I experienced the energy of my “missing piece.” The term “life-changing” is used a lot I know. But I can’t think of another one that more accurately describes my experience...
— Ann Kirby, RH Certified Teacher, EnnCourage, Inc.
Helen Palmer teaches the Enneagram with an in-depth and clinical clarity that can only help and strengthen those who are seeking to use it for spiritual direction... She is standing on the 13th Century teaching of my fellow Franciscan, Blessed Raymond Lull, who successfully used the ancient Enneagram as a lingua franca to mutually evangelize warring Christians and Muslims. This is a very proven, traditional and tested tool for both the "conversion of morals," and the "discernment of spirits," which St. Paul calls one of the major Gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:10).
— Richard Rohr, Franciscan friar & author of Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life
Remembering Helen’s amazing intuitive interventions... that changed the lives of so many. I have never learned, laughed and cried so much before or since in my life.
