WHAT IS THE ENNEAGRAM?

Nine Types.
One Dynamic System.

The Enneagram is an archetypal framework that reveals the patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving rooted in nine distinct core motivations. It's not a static personality test — it's a compass that helps you navigate growth.

Each of us has a "home base" type that shapes how we attend to the world: where our focus goes, what we protect, and how we move toward or away from presence. And we have access to every other type as we become more self-aware.

What makes the Enneagram so powerful is that it’s relational. It can show us how we’re in relationship with ourselves, the people in our lives, and the world.

"The Enneagram does not put us in a box — it shows us the box we're already in, and offers us the door." — The Narrative Enneagram

The Enneagram Is:

  • Motivation-based: Rooted in why you do what you do not just what you do.

  • Relational: Deepens how you understand and work with others.

  • Compassionate: Patterns are strategies, not flaws. Growth, not judgment.

  • Dynamic: We have a “home base” and we have access to all nine Enneagram types.

  • Ancient Wisdom: Used as a map to insight for hundreds of years.

THE NINE TYPES

Each type is a coherent strategy for navigating the world.
