Contemplative Enneagram Foundations:
Awakening to Wholeness
A foundational module within the Contemplative Enneagram Practitioner Certification pathway
Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
— Carl Jung
When one realizes one is asleep, at that moment one is already half-awake.
—P.D. Ouspensky
For practitioners, guides, and sincere seekers ready to enter the Enneagram as a lived path of transformation.
Module 1 of 5 — Contemplative Enneagram Practitioner Certification
This module is the foundational entry point into the Contemplative Enneagram Practitioner Certification (CEP) training and certification program, while also standing fully on its own as a complete and transformative experience.
About this Module
At the intersection of contemplative practice, Enneagram wisdom, and conscious community, a space emerges where wholeness is not merely an idea, but a reality that can be directly experienced and embodied.
In this interspiritual immersion, you are invited to awaken to this way of being and begin integrating it into your daily life. Together, we explore what it means to “unblend” from personality and live from a deeper ground of individuality.
As this unfolds, it not only transforms your inner life, but naturally extends into your relationships and the wider world.
What you will learn
In Module 1, you will
- Discover a contemplative Enneagram framework for awakening to wholeness—learning to “unblend” from type and live from your authentic, whole, and divine nature.
- Engage practices that awaken all three centers of intelligence—mind, heart, and body—supporting a more integrated experience of reality.
- Learn to read the Enneagram symbol not simply as a personality system, but as a mandala of wholeness and a guide for conscious awakening.
- Journey through all nine points, encountering their essence qualities and interconnection—discovering transformation not only through insight and practice, but through a renewed relationship with life itself.
Two Ways to Participate
The self-study option includes full access to last year’s recorded Module 1, allowing you to move at your own pace and engage the material in your own rhythm. The full recorded content is approximately 18 hours and counts toward IEA professional accreditation points.
The live cohort offers a shared, facilitated experience with real-time participation and the depth of learning that unfolds in community.
Please note: If you enroll in the self-study and later choose to join the live Module 1 or the full Contemplative Enneagram Practitioner (CEP) yearlong certification, your self-study tuition will be fully applied toward the cost of the live program.
Access to Recordings
These recordings will remain available for your continued reflection and integration—accessible indefinitely, and for at least one full calendar year from the time of purchase or your live session, whichever is longer.
If you begin with the self-study and later join the live training, you will retain access to both sets of recordings, supporting an ongoing relationship with the material over time.
Accreditation, Certificate of Completion, and/or Certification:
For those intending to complete the full Contemplative Enneagram Practitioner Training & Certification (CEP), it is recommended that Module 1 be taken live. An asynchronous option is available for those unable to attend in real time.
The self-study pathway includes:
- Completion of all course recordings at your own pace
- One required 90-minute private training session with Rev. Nhien (offered at a discounted rate of $325)
IEA Accreditation Points
- Live participation: 22.5 professional accreditation hours (24 total hours minus lunch break)
- Self-study: 18.5 hours, plus 1.5 additional hours upon completion of the required private session
Certificate of Completion
Participants who complete this module, either live or asynchronously, may request a Certificate of Completion. This is distinct from full certification as a Contemplative Enneagram Practitioner, which requires completion of the full CEP program.
