The Enneagram is a profound tool for human transformation which has been developed over many years and is now used in all sectors of business, social and spiritual communities.

The Enneagram describes nine distinct patterns of thinking, feeling and acting and underlying each pattern are basic propositions and beliefs about what each of us need in our life for survival and satisfaction,

The symbol in the picture opposite, of a nine-pointed star within a circle represents the Enneagram personality system.  'Ennea' is Greek for nine and 'gram' means picture or figure.

Using The Enneagram to explore the way our personality develops allows us to:

• Build our skilfulness in self-observation
• Gain greater understanding and knowledge of our inner world
• Develop practices to help transform our behavior in the outer world

Working with the Enneagram involves careful and conscious effort over time.  Observing where we place our attention and energy gives us more possibility for making healthy, life-giving choices which support our own and others' wellbeing and citizenship.
