What is the Enneagram?
The Enneagram is a profound self-aware tool. It describes nine primary strategies we use to relate and react to the world. Each of these personality strategies has strengths, fears, desires and blind spots. As a result, there are generally predictable patterns of behavior. It is more than just a personality typing system though; it’s a pathway to deeper self-understanding and growth.
By uncovering our core motivations and recognizing the automatic patterns that guide our reactions, we gain insight into the “why” behind our behaviors. This awareness is the first step towards making more conscious choices and fostering personal healing, happiness and peace.
