The Mindful Enneagram
Where Mindfulness and the Enneagram converge to awaken your deepest potential.
A Convergence of Two Powerful Traditions
The Buddha emphasized three core foundations of mindfulness practice - of body, heart, and mind - to free us from dukkha, unnecessary suffering.
The Enneagram is a powerful map of nine particular ways that this suffering arises. It points to nine ways we have become deeply conditioned to lean on unconscious habits of reacting, rather than responding. It also points us forward to realizing our deeper, more spiritual capacities of instinct, feeling, and attention.
Discover and work with your particular Enneagram type using the three core foundations of mindfulness practice: of sensing, feeling, and the mind.
Learn how to free yourself from your particular unconscious “blind spots,” your specific deeply imbedded patterns of sensing, feeling, and thinking that keep you locked in unnecessary suffering.
We invite you to explore the Enneagram through Mindfulness - a convergence of these two powerful traditions - by exploring this website, as well as through our talks, guided meditations, coaching, groups, retreats, and forthcoming book. You may want to begin with the Basics first before exploring more deeply.

Retreat
The Mindful Enneagram
June 4-8, 2025
This retreat will use mindfulness and the Enneagram to help us see clearly, in a practical way, our particular individual type of imbalance between thinking, feeling, and movement - the chief feature of our type that keeps us locked in the trance of dukkha. We will use the Buddha’s three core foundations of mindfulness practice and Gurdjieff’s Movements to actually see and experience our Enneagram type, how to awaken from it, and how to live in greater balance and harmony of body, heart, and mind.
Book Launch
Coming in 2025!
