Overview

You can take The Enneagram Intensive™ either as a stand-alone workshop or as Section 1 of Enneagram Worldwide's Enneagram Professional Training Program™ (EPTP).

The six-day course offers a full examination of the structure and psychodynamics of the nine personality types, including the basic proposition, instinctual subtypes, patterns of personal reactivity and defense mechanisms.  Participants focus on personal development and relationship issues with other types through self-inquiry, process interactions and specific strategies for change. Our studies in the Narrative Tradition, using the panel method integrated with many forms of process work, provide an immersion experience of psychological and spiritual integration.

During the Intensive, much of the learning happens as participants are interviewed on panels of the same type. The panel interviews bring the Enneagram alive through meaningful conversation and insights. They are set within a rich context of self-observation practices, practical exercises for each type, directed meditations, movement and facilitated interactions between the types. The combined effect creates a profound understanding of nine radically different realities.

The Enneagram Intensive™ is for anyone who has some prior knowledge of the system and wants to participate in an intensive growth process in a safe and receptive community dedicated to diversity.

Who should attend?

• Anyone on a path of personal transformation
• Therapists, counselors, physicians, nurses
• Business managers, coaches, trainers
• Spiritual directors and clergy
• Teachers and parents

Testimonials

“Learning personality development through the eyes of David Daniels and Helen Palmer is being given the gift of deep insight into how temperament and attachment intertwine – both personally helpful and professionally useful in understanding our many layers of perception, emotion and habits of mind. Thank you for providing such exciting new vistas.”
Daniel Siegel, M.D., associate clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA Center for Culture, Brain and Development, is a world-renowned expert in Attachment Theory and co-author of Parenting from the Inside Out.

“During and after the training, I experienced the straitjacket of type falling away and the blessedness of essence shining through. I owe Helen and David a debt of gratitude for their profound work. I didn't just learn about the Enneagram – I experienced characterological change.”
K.T., psychotherapist

“I have been a licensed clinical psychologist for 20 years and have attended numerous workshops, classes, and various training opportunities throughout this time. Never have I come across an opportunity for both personal and professional growth anything like what is offered this program. Far beyond advancing my clinical skills, this program has helped me move forward as a full human being.”
D.S., clinical psychologist

“An experience that will benefit me all the days of my life. As a recovering alcoholic I especially recommend this course to those in recovery. As I walk this journey of life, the experience helps my spiritual growth and enhances my ability to reach out to others.”
T.C., coach

“How I survived the world without the Enneagram I will never know. I do know is that my life is so much richer now thanks to the Enneagram, and to my extraordinary teachers. Without their mystery, insight and magic the Enneagram would not have breathed the life as it has.”
G.B., company director
