COURSES AND WORKSHOPS

The enneagram is a personality assessment which indicates how one functions within specific situations or deals with trauma, by focusing on three scenarios, either:
i) Feeling the impact of the trauma/situation in the body and act or react with anger (Numbers 8, 9, & 1)
ii) Dealing with the trauma/situation in the mind and act or react with anxiety (Numbers 5, 6, & 7)
iii) Feeling the impact of the trauma/situation in the heart and act or react with different emotions (Numbers 2, 3, & 4)

The enneagram is divided into 9 different personality types which are grouped in threes and the flow of acting or reacting will also be attended to.

Each number indicates the:
a) Core behaviour of the person
b) Traps you can be challenged with
c) Aspects you need to avoid
