Circle of
Benefactors
From its earliest days, this contemplative work has been sustained by those who believed in its vision and offered foundational support.
We honor both the Founders Circle and the e‑Anam Cara Circle, whose generosity and companionship continue to shape the life of this school.
Foundational Benefactors
In 2019, after much consultation with trusted friends and mentors, I chose to establish Evolving Enneagram as an LLC rather than as a nonprofit organization. It was a significant step — one that required faith, courage, and a willingness to enter unfamiliar territory.
At that time, I had never worked for myself, nor had I been trained in building or sustaining a business. The vision for this contemplative work was clear, but its practical foundation was still being formed.
I remain deeply grateful to the members of the Founders Circle — ministers, teachers, retirees, and friends — who each offered a foundational gift of $500, freely and without condition, to help bring this work into being and draw a wider circle of compassion in our world.
Their trust and generosity helped lay the foundation for what has since grown into an international contemplative formation school.
With gratitude,
Rev. Nhien

e‑Anam Cara Circle
In the Celtic tradition, anam cara means “soul friend.”
The e‑Anam Cara Circle was formed in support of the launch of The Enneagram of the Soul. Seventeen donors contributed to this effort, helping to bring this interspiritual companion into wider circulation.
Those who contributed $500 or more are honored here as members of the e‑Anam Cara Circle — whose generosity echoes the foundational gifts that first launched this school.

Living Lineage
This school stands within a lineage of patronage — shaped by those who believed in its vision and entrusted it with their support.
In partnership with our benefactors, Evolving Enneagram has offered tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships since its founding in 2012. This work has also found its way into nonprofit organizations and correctional settings — not only through the spirit of oneness that guides our team, but through the generosity of those who understand patronage as a meaningful way to extend its reach.
As the circle continues to widen, we remain grateful for those who sustain its present and help steward its future.
If you feel called to participate in this lineage of generosity, we welcome conversation.
