The Enneagram for Building Intergenerational Consciousness Communities
Dr. Katie Hendricks, Tyler Sit & Vanessa Fernandez
Imagine a world in which the wisdom of elders, the innocence and exuberance of children, the high motivation of young adults to impact the world, and the life-crafting skills of adults in the middle years beautifully co-exist. Imagine they are truly intimate, interconnected, and consciously playing and working together in order to create a world we can all thrive in and relish.
Imagine our central focus being about personal growth and development, and building cultures of love and creativity. Imagine that we not only recognize the need for all the voices to contribute, but that we build communities and cultures in which wisdom, exuberance, motivation, and life skills are nourished, honored, and welcomed in everyone — in all ages.
In the milieu of increasing compartmentalization, fractured bonds and polarization, greater and greater separation is occurring between generations. Ageism is being infused in everything that we do, and it is limiting personal development and the highly integrative and collective wisdom and functioning that is needed for a good life — particularly in addressing the great challenges of our times while nurturing wellbeing, social and cultural equity, and environmental sustainability.
Explorations of this phenomenon and how to heal the generational divides are critical, and it is worth exploring what the Enneagram can offer to this compelling need. Join in a panel that spans seven decades of experience and wisdom as we explore pathways to next-generation — all-generation — communities.
In this session, you'll discover:
- An exploration of the costs of ageism and generation isolation and polarization
- How the Enneagram can support the evolution of intergenerational communities and culture
- Inspirational stories and examples of the potential of intergenerational communication, cooperation, and collective wisdom
Dr. Katie Hendricks
Dr. Katie Hendricks, an evolutionary catalyst, contextual disruptor, and freelance mentor, has been a pioneer in the field of body intelligence and conscious loving for 50 years. Her purpose, she says, is to “feel through to the heart with laser-love, and evoke essence through deep play.”
Katie is co-author of 12 books, including the bestselling Conscious Loving... At The Speed of Life... and Conscious Loving Ever After: How to Create Thriving Relationships at Midlife and Beyond. Passionate about the power of embodied integrity and full-spectrum presence, her work explores the how of consciousness — and the structures and practices that befriend and transform fear into presence, relational authenticity, and resonant collaboration.
She specializes in translating concepts such as commitment into directly felt experiences that lead to new choices and creative engagement. Her unique coaching and leadership programs have trained hundreds of body intelligence and relationship coaches in the U.S. and Europe. She developed and led the unique Leadership and Transformation Training for 30 years, and is currently joining her community through the Foundation for Conscious Living to create the Big Leap Online Programs. These online videos are designed to support people in coming home to presence, restoring resourcefulness, and creating caring communities.
