The Enneagram is not merely a personality typology. At its core, it is a map of consciousness and a mandala of wholeness that helps us to awaken to Oneness and to realize our soul's full potential.
Our Contemplative Enneagram Souljourners Program (CESP) launches this fall 2023. CESP is ecumenical, inter-spiritual programming designed to support wisdom seekers from diverse faith backgrounds around the world, including those identified as SBNR, in exploring the rich ways Enneagram-informed contemplation can support our spiritual life–not only as individuals but as an ever-deepening, ever-expanding community.
This is an inclusive, non-dogmatic, experiential space that invites individuals from diverse wisdom traditions from around the globe to journey inwardly together–in the spirit of wholeness, unity, and love.
Our mission is not so much to expound on the vast body of Enneagram theories as it is to bring the Enneagram framework to bear on our conscious awakening–through the lens of contemplation and in service to Love’s evolution.

- INTEGRATE the Enneagram wisdom teaching into your personal journey of contemplation.
- PRACTICE an array of contemplative practices in sacred, Enneagram-informed circle. (No prior Enneagram experience required.)
