We are looking back at one of our favorite episodes of our podcast Enneagram 2.0. It's about Bea’s research connecting the Enneagram and Dante’s The Divine Comedy. The Divine Comedy, written over 700 years ago, offers a timeless and universal message of psycho-spiritual transformation that is still relevant today. Listen to this episode where she talks about how Inferno, Purgatory, and Paradise connect to different states of consciousness and the growth paths of the Enneagram types. Beatrice Chestnut holds workshops in Florence every year, and participants enjoy being immersed in history while learning about Dante's life, The Divine Comedy, and the complex connections to the Enneagram. Her next workshop called “Dante, Florence, and the Enneagram” will be from May 26th to May 30th, 2024 in Florence, Italy.

We are not our personalities. However, when we are unaware of our lower selves, it’s easy to identify with our personalities. In this episode, Uranio Paes goes through each of the nine types to give examples of how to fool the personality so that we can be free from its hold on us.  Each of the nine Enneagram types has an over-developed Center of Intelligence. Uranio talks about The Fourth Way, an approach to self-development created by George Gurdjieff.  Gurdjieff was the pioneer who brought the Enneagram to the West. He taught that the first way is the way of the body, the second is the way of the heart, and the third is the way of the mind. The Fourth Way is mixing these three Centers of Intelligence so our personality doesn’t control how we react and we can be a more complete human beyond the confines of our personality.  Check out our podcast episodes on Levels of Awareness: The Enneagram Levels of Awareness Part 1 of 2 https://youtu.be/5FfW5Duma6w The Enneagram Levels of Awareness Part 2 of 2 https://youtu.be/Ox54PKEhrt4 Join a community of Enneagram enthusiasts and participate in live monthly webinars and Q&As with Bea and Uranio.

Bea and Uranio interviewed Trent Thornley, a Self-Preservation Six, to find out what helped him in his growth journey and to learn about how he experiences his Enneagram type and subtype. He talks about how he came to the Enneagram. He discussed how the Enneagram gave him Ah ha moments as well as uh oh moments. Trent discussed that all nine types have needs, it’s just that there is an over-functioning or over-dependency on the needs of each Enneagram type. He shared there is a false sense of security in the act of doubting. There is an unconscious idea that constant doubting will bring the Self-Preservation Six to a conclusion that will bring the truth of the matter and more importantly, security. How does he work through this false idea? This is a powerful interview with many insights for those who are Self-Preservation Six subtypes or have Self-Preservation Six subtypes in their lives. Trent served as President of the International Enneagram Association in 2022 and 2023. He is the Executive Director and Director of Clinical Pastoral Education at the San Francisco Night Ministry and an ordained Buddhist Dharma Leader in the Nyingma lineage. Trent is also an ordained minister in the Metropolitan Community Churches, a progressive Christian denomination with an outreach to the LGBTQ+ community.

This is the second episode in a three-part series on subtypes in relationships. Bea and Uranio discuss the three heart types and their subtypes in terms of interacting with others. They give actionable tips on how each of the subtypes can grow and how they can use a relationship as a path for growth. Inner work isn't fully complete without relationships, especially considering how challenging aspects of relationships can really help us transform.

Over the 3.5 years since we started Enneagram 2.0, we have met students who wanted to apply what they learned on the podcast to their own inner work. But we have also received important feedback—our retreats can be very intense, and dipping your toes into the methodology we use can be important to do before investing in that process.  That's why Bea and Uranio have created a retreat called The Way of the Enneagram. It is inspired by listeners like you who have been committed to inner work using the wisdom of the Enneagram. They talk about the initial steps that each of the nine types can take once they learn their type. They discuss how this particular retreat is designed to help students navigate the core issues of their personality and learn how to put theory into practice. The Enneagram is a map of transformation and it is about entering into a growth process that can be as deep as you want it to be.  To learn more about our online inner work retreat, The Way of the Enneagram, happening in January of 2024, visit https://cpenneagram.com/way-of-the-enneagram To see all of our events in our calendar, visit https://cpenneagram.com/live-courses.

In this episode, Bea and Uranio have a second conversation with Russ Hudson and discuss their understanding of the Enneagram Centers of Intelligence. People tend to have a simplified understanding of the Centers when it comes to the original teachings of George Gurdjieff. They discuss the power that each Center of Intelligence has and how each type has a bias towards over using its associated center. Learn about discerning which center we are coming from in situations and how to avoid the wrong use of the centers. Also, our TOP 5 is the most important things to keep in mind when doing high quality inner work using the Enneagram. We currently have a Master the Enneagram Centers of Intelligence workshop.

This is a sample from a rich inner work retreat Bea and Uranio are teaching in Thailand this week. In this episode, Bea and Uranio discuss the Enneagram symbol and how it can be seen as a map for growth in Levels of Awareness. If we think of the Enneagram as typology only, we run the risks of stereotyping and judgment. A way to see this clearly is to recognize that different types are praised and criticized depending on the Enneagram type of the surrounding culture. They discuss the Enneagram as a map of transformation and how we can see it as a path for raising awareness. Our team has been thinking about you—our audience and community members. So we are conducting a few focus group sessions to learn more about your Enneagram-based needs. If you are up for joining one of those sessions, we would love to give you access to a self-guided online course of your choice.

The Enneagram is a powerful tool in revealing shadows in our personalities. It helps us understand our blind spots, the “shadow” of our ego. In this episode, Bea and Uranio discuss the individual perspective of our Type’s shadows. They will cover instincts and the three Body Types: 8, 9, and 1. This is a four part series where they will discuss both the individual and the collective perspectives of these shadows.  By the way, you can watch and listen to our episodes now.

When we learn about the Enneagram, we often apply it first to our relationships. But we often look at it only from a type perspective, without bringing in the Enneagram's centers of intelligence as a framework of analysis. A few weeks ago, we started this discussion with the Enneagram's heart types and what is important to them in relationships. Now let's hear from the head types. In this episode, Uranio, a head type himself, discusses what head types need, what core issues emerge in relationships, and how those around them can help support them. What can those in relationship with a head type do to make it healthier? And what can we all learn through the lens of the head intelligence center? The new book is out!

If you have been to our workshops or retreats, chances are you have heard us refer to our Levels of Awareness model. Everything the Chestnut Paes Enneagram Academy does around the Enneagram is centered on our ability to leverage it for our inner work and growth. But what does it mean to grow? How do we move away from the Enneagram system of personality toward the Enneagram model for growth? In this rich episode, Beatrice and Uranio teach us their developing theory on the Enneagram Levels of Awareness. They discuss the changes that occur within us as we each progress on our inner work and personal development journeys. This episode is Part 1 of two episodes. Stay tuned for Part 2, where Beatrice and Uranio provide greater detail on what the levels look like for each of the Enneagram types.   If you want to discover which Enneagram Type you could be, visit our webpage cpenneagram.com/compass to learn about the Enneagram Test they just launched, CPS Enneagram Compass.

Here’s the one you have all been waiting for. What do Beatrice and Uranio really think about the role of wings on the Enneagram? You might notice that you never hear us refer to a type with a dominant wing attached to it (e.g. 1w2) and there’s a specific reason for that. In this episode, you will hear Bea and Uranio discuss foundational Enneagram theory as it relates to the wings. What does identifying a dominant wing really do for your growth and what does it actually mean? Hear them as they convince you that wings are not subtypes and teach us how to use them as balancing growth stretch points so that we don’t stay stuck in our personality patterns. They will also discuss the history of the wings in the Enneagram and how we can ensure that Enneagram theory moves forward, prioritizing growth over diagnosis.

What is behind your reactivity? What are the knee-jerk reactions that drive your behavior underneath the surface? In this episode, Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes teach us about the unconscious behaviors that we develop to protect ourselves in childhood. Each type manifests this differently, resulting in nine different defense mechanisms. For any student of the Enneagram, this holds the key to much of our journey toward self-awareness.  If you want to discover which Enneagram Type you could be, visit our webpage cpenneagram.com/compass to learn about the Enneagram Test they just launched, CPS Enneagram Compass.

In this episode, Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes discuss the (sometimes controversial) viewpoint that the Enneagram is a system that leads to spiritual growth. Part of this process is found in the Virtues, the higher-level emotions that often serve as the antidote to our Enneagram passions. Listen as Bea and Uranio discuss the implications of working on the Enneagram solely as a typology and review the Virtues of the Nine Types.  If you want to discover which Enneagram Type you could be, visit our webpage cpenneagram.com/compass to learn about the Enneagram Test they just launched, CPS Enneagram Compass.

We all act out our emotions when triggered and personality moves us to a space of reactivity. But how do we learn to contain the behavior when these tendencies feel so hardwired and out of our control? In this episode, Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes discuss the power of the Enneagram and work from Gurdjieff's teachings on reactivity to support students to shift their lives and improve their relationships. They discuss how each type tends to display their reactivity and shed light on the patterns of which we must become more aware.  If you want to discover which Enneagram Type you could be, visit our webpage cpenneagram.com/compass to learn about the Enneagram Test they just launched, CPS Enneagram Compass.

Did you know that even heart types need to develop emotionally? The Enneagram symbol provides us with wisdom around the three centers: body, heart, and head. The truth is that types of any center, including heart types, can shut down their emotions. In addition, each center has a dominant emotion. So, with all of this at play, how does your Enneagram type deal with emotions and how can the Enneagram help you develop emotionally? Every Enneagram type avoids feeling one of the four basic emotions: anger, sadness, fear, and happiness. Listen to Bea and Uranio as they shed light on misconceptions around using your heart center and support you in uncovering the emotional work you need to do.  If you want to discover which Enneagram Type you could be, visit our webpage cpenneagram.com/compass to learn about the Enneagram Test they just launched, CPS Enneagram Compass.
