The Enneagram in Real Time:
A Narrative Tradition Panel Experience
As Enneagram professionals committed to growth, compassion, and self-awareness, we know there’s something uniquely powerful about hearing the Enneagram come to life in people’s own words. This meeting offers the chance to experience the Narrative Tradition in practice through panel interviews focused on the three centers of intelligence: head, heart, and body (gut). The Narrative Tradition is rooted in self-observation and personal story, inviting us to explore the Enneagram through lived experience. Each center will be introduced with a brief teaching, followed by a live panel. Participants will have the opportunity to share how their center of intelligence shows up in daily life, stress, and behavior. Whether you’re familiar with the Narrative Tradition or experiencing it for the first time, this meeting offers a grounded, experiential way to engage with the wisdom of the centers.

When the Enneagram Growth Map Becomes the Maze:
(Navigating Real-Life Needs and Happiness, Within and Beyond Your Type Lens)
The Enneagram is a brilliant map — until it isn’t.
