Contemplative Enneagram Foundations:

Awakening to Wholeness

A self-paced introduction to the contemplative Enneagram — open to all, begin anytime.

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.

About this Course

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 this course, 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.

Where This Course Can Lead

This foundational course stands on its own as an introduction to the contemplative Enneagram. For those who feel called to go further, it also serves as a first step toward Contemplative Enneagram Practitioner Certification, now offered through our Enneagram-Informed Spiritual Direction program.

What's Included

This self-study course includes access to approximately 18 hours of video teachings and discussion, recorded live, along with access to dozens of slides.  Move at your own pace and engage the material in your own rhythm. This program counts toward IEA professional accreditation points.

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.

Your tuition may be applied toward our Enneagram-Informed Spiritual Direction program, should you choose to deepen in this path.
