The Enneagram

Explore The Enneagram, a powerful psycho-spiritual tool for awakening to our personality types and our patterns of behaviour.

Workshop Purpose

The Enneagram is a model of three intelligence centres, the Head, the Heart and the Body, and nine interconnecting personality types. We will be exploring each of these nine types and what the motivations are behind our behaviours, often driven by survival patterns formed early in our lives.

In our two-day workshop, unlock your potential and transform your relationships using the Enneagram. Explore the power of this ancient psycho-spiritual tool and discover how it offers profound wisdom tailored to your unique personality type. Whether you seek personal growth, improved communication skills, or insights into team building, this workshop is designed to support your journey toward greater self-awareness. Join us for a transformative exploration.

Throughout the two days, we’ll intersperse interactive activities, group discussions, and short breaks. While we cannot possibly cover every aspect of the Enneagram in depth, our goal is to provide a comprehensive overview and equip participants with practical tools for self-discovery and growth.

Learning Outcomes

• Gain an understanding of the nine Enneagram personality types and their core motivations.

• Identify your own Enneagram type and understand how it influences your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.

• Develop strategies for personal growth and self-awareness based on your Enneagram type.

• Learn how to recognise and appreciate the perspectives of others by understanding their Enneagram types.

• Cultivate empathy and compassion towards yourself and others through the lens of the Enneagram.

What to expect?

We aim to create a safe space, allowing us to discover more of who we are. The Enneagram helps us to see our blind spots, or unconscious automatic habits. This knowledge gives us more choice to respond in different ways and to grow into more of our true essence.

During the workshop, expect a dynamic and engaging learning experience. You’ll explore how your type influences your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and learn practical strategies for personal growth and transformation. Expect to connect with others on a deeper level as you learn about the Enneagram types of those around you, fostering understanding and empathy in your relationships. By the end of the workshop, we hope you will leave with a deeper level of understanding of yourself and others.

Looking to the future, our experience is that if you continue your journey with the Enneagram, it has powerful applications for improving communication, conflict resolution and relationship dynamics. A future workshop could explore techniques applicable to career, team relationships and personal development.

Our Approach

In our workshop, we integrate the principles of psychosynthesis with the Enneagram to offer a holistic approach to personal development. Drawing from psychosynthesis, which emphasizes the harmonious integration of all aspects of the self, our workshop goes beyond mere identification of Enneagram types. We guide you in the possibilities of moving beyond your personality type, uncovering your true potential and all that you can be. Through experiential exercises, guided meditations, and reflective practices, we facilitate a journey of self-discovery and inner alignment. Our approach honours the complexity of human experience and encourages self-compassion and acceptance as essential components of growth.

With a focus on fostering self-awareness, empathy, and personal and spiritual growth, my colleague, Jeanie and I offer an engaging and insightful exploration of the Enneagram suitable for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike.

Join us for a journey of discovery and growth at the upcoming CPD weekend at the Psychosynthesis Trust, where you’ll explore the profound teachings of the Enneagram in a supportive and nurturing environment.

About Judy Friend

I am an experienced spiritual director with nearly 20 years of practice, and a counsellor with 4 years of experience with my own private practice. As a graduate of the Psychosynthesis Trust in London, I love to integrate spiritual principles and psychological techniques to support clients on their personal and spiritual journeys.

My fascination with the Enneagram began 15 years ago and I have been exploring it ever since. Following a year’s training in how to teach the Enneagram I am now immersed in the Personal Mastery Programme training at the renowned CP Enneagram Academy.

I am passionate about the transformative potential of the Enneagram, and I enjoy sharing insights with others through workshops, retreats, and one-on-one sessions. It has enriched my counselling practice by enabling clients to go deeper more quickly as they wake up to some of their stuck patterns of behaviour and have a clear map as to how to begin to change and grow.
