What is the Enneagram?

It is a tool for personal development that combines ancient spiritual direction and modern psychological understanding. It gets to the core filters through which we view God, life, ourselves, and others. It goes beyond outer behaviors to the inner motivations for why we think, act, and feel as we do. There are nine different personality styles which form the foundation of the Enneagram (‘ennea’ means nine). Rather than putting you “in a box,” the Enneagram defines the “box you are in” and incorporates paths to greater health and freedom in all areas of life.

“Of all the personality tests I have taken, the Enneagram nailed me the best. It helped me see some key things that have kept me from being productive and confident. By a coaching relationship with Marilyn I gained important insights that have led to changes in my life, marriage, and work.”

“I highly recommend the Enneagram workshop to anyone wanting to grow in Christ and to better develop the people God has given into their care. Our group came away with a multitude of tools to grow in Christ and to understand ourselves and others and how we work.”
