Discover Your Personality Type - Unlocking the Enneagram for Self-Awareness & Personal Growth with Beatrice Chestnut

Unlock the mysteries of the Enneagram with Beatrice Chestnut, Ph.D. - one of the most authoritative voices and thought leaders in the modern Enneagram movement. Discover how the Enneagram's ancient wisdom can serve as a transformative map for understanding your own unconscious patterns and behaviors as she guides us through this fascinating tool for self-awareness and personal growth. We discuss the structure of the nine-pointed Enneagram and its relationship to sacred geometry, and the three centers of intelligence - head, heart and body. Discover why balancing these centers is crucial for achieving personal growth and how identifying your own type can be more complex than just taking a test. Beatrice shares an insightful overview of the nine personality types which comprise a psycho-spiritual map of evolution along with their traits, characteristics and relational dynamics. We also introduce the intriguing concept of the vertical path, a personal development journey within each type from lower to higher levels of consciousness, and explore how cultural influences can shape and sometimes complicate this journey. Join us as we trace the Enneagram's global journey from its ancient roots to the pioneering work of figures like George Gurdjieff, Oscar Ichazo and Claudio Naranjo. Explore the relevance of the 27 subtypes, each offering unique pathways for personal growth. Together, we discuss how the Enneagram can powerfully influence our self-understanding and personal evolution, and it's potential to raise global consciousness and contribute to a more connected, self-aware global community.

One of the most authoritative voices and thought leaders in the modern Enneagram movement, Beatrice Chestnut, Ph.D., has been studying and working with the enneagram for 27 years. A licensed psychotherapist, author, coach, and business consultant, she has a Phd in communication and an MA in clinical psychology. Author of two books, The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Awareness, and The 9 Types of Leadership: Mastering the Art of People in the 21st-Century Workplace, Beatrice views the Enneagram as an important vehicle for the larger, all-important goal of raising global consciousness so we can, collectively, create a more positive, sustainable, and self-aware world community.
