An introduction to the Enneagram will take place on Thursday, November 27 from 6:30-8 p.m. at Fernie Heritage Library. The workshop will be facilitated by Anie Hepher.

What is the Enneagram?

The Enneagram suggests that there are nine types that adequately map out the territory of ‘personality types.’

The Enneagram is also a symbol that maps out the ways in which the nine types are related to each other. This is the aspect of the Enneagram most people are familiar with because it offers them a framework for understanding themselves and everyone they deal with. As a psycho-spiritual typology, the Enneagram helps people to recognize and understand an overall pattern in human behaviour.

External behaviours, underlying attitudes, one’s characteristic sense of self, conscious and unconscious motivations, emotional reactions, defense mechanisms, object relations, what we pay attention to, our spiritual potentials and much more—are all parts of a complex pattern that forms each personality type.

Therapists, business counselors, human resource directors, and spiritual seekers from around the world are all finding the Enneagram to be immensely useful for self-understanding and personal growth. Always remember, however, that the Enneagram does not put you in a box; it shows you the box you are in and the way out!” – Taken from www.enneagraminstitute.com

In order to better prepare for this basic introduction, we would ask that you complete one or both of these free tests online below before the workshop, to determine what number/type you are. We will spend a little time at our meeting getting introduced to each of the nine types in an effort to allow insight and growth in our lives.

Here are the free online quizzes:
