Learn how to use the Enneagram to HEAL RACISM END DISCRIMINATION EMBRACE DIVERSITY
the Vision It will be the acceptance of our differences that ultimately changes our future and leads us forward on a path of love & light. In a global society, we must ensure that the trajectory of the path is aligned with the unconditional respect for all of humanity. This is where The Enneagram presents as a powerful guide for personal, individual, and collective transformation. - Dr. Deborah Egerton
Featuring YourHost
DEBORAH EGERTON
Imagine living in a world where prejudice & discrimination against people of race, colour, ethnicity, sexuality, and religious faith exist only in our history books. Imagine a world in which we honour our sameness & celebrate our diversity. Now is the time to gather as human rights champions to heal a catastrophic wound that exists in humanity – a wound at the heart of racism & all discrimination. The Enneagram is one of the oldest self-awareness tools on our planet. It offers us a path of spiritual growth & planetary evolution that helps us heal the social construct of racism that has been a scourge on humanity for centuries. The Enneagram will continue to be our guide as we unite as allies to end racism & all forms of discrimination forever.
In the second installment of the Enneagram of Grace series we continue our journey of self discovery and explore how the wisdom of the Enneagram can be expanded to create the necessary shift beyond inner work and into the world of social justice. We continue the journey by using the Enneagram as a tool for healing our individual wounds and strengthening the passion & purpose of people who have remained silent but are seeking an opportunity to learn how to engage as cultural allies & advocates, compassionate healers, and racial bridge builders for marginalized communities. We dive deep into the unique perspectives of each type and explore how we have access to all 9 lenses & their inherent gifts. Our journey leads us to uncover the importance of embracing all 9 lenses in the same light that we embrace all of humanity & our universal oneness.
the Journey The path of love gifts us with companions of oneness, connection, & joy. The path of fear burdens us with anger, separation & suffering. DEBORAH EGERTON
The Enneagram of Grace Part II features seven online classes, once each week beginning January 28th– and a separate 2 day intensive on January 16th & 23rd for those who missed Part I but still wish to participate. This course is hosted by Deborah Egerton, with Venetia David and Robert & Hollie Holden. Each 2-hour class will present an exploration of how the Enneagram can be used to understand and see the humanity in others across our differences, the gifts of energy each Enneagram Type possesses, and how we have access to all of the gifts across the Enneagram map. Together, we will create a safe space in which we learn how to have the conversation that will help us shift from fear to love, pain to peace, and conflict to grace. We will use the Enneagram to empower you and equip you with the courage and confidence to take a stand as the generation that embraces the Great Commission to love one another equally.

Module One
A JOURNEY INTO THE BODY CENTER ACCESSING OUR 8-9-1 ENERGIES
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
In Module 1 we begin our journey by diving into the Body Center of 8, 9, & 1. The Body Center possesses the a passion and strength we all need to become advocates with a capacity for doing good for all of humanity through kindness, warmth, and serenity. We explore the role of Enneagram Body Types as cultural allies and anti-racist advocates, and begin to understand this perspective in order to access the energies of the 8, 9, & 1 as gifts. In this section, we explore: » The inherent hidden biases within the Body Types » How to engage in difficult conversations & situations regarding race with stillness, compassion, & authenticity to bring about connection & advocacy through the 8-9-1 lenses » How to access the 8-9-1 lenses in order to gain a different understanding into racial disconnects and how they are viewed from the opposite side » Recognizing the warning signs of anger and disconnection and how it manifests differently for each Body Type » How to harness the strong & warm-hearted energy of the Body Types and access the gifts they hold in order to stand as an ally in kindness and universal oneness
Module Two
THE ADVOCATES EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING TO EMBRACE THE 8-9-1 ENERGY
We can learn to see each other and see ourselves in each other and recognize that human beings are more alike than we are unalike. M AYA A N G E LO U
In this module, we bring the wisdom from Module 1 and dive into experiential exercises for each Body Type. We will create scenarios and develop instances for real life learning and application in which the unique perspectives of the Body Types’ energies can be used as gifts to advocate for all people. We will come together as a group to: » Work through the Body Type’s gifts in order to embody and sustain the energy across conflicts and disconnects » Discover how despite our individual Type we still have access to the instinctual energies of the 8, 9, & 1 » Articulate where we see ourselves being able to use these energies and exactly how to bring it out into the world with grace, compassion, and empathy » Create awareness for continued opportunities of accessing our universal oneness through harmony, peace, and self reflection
Module Three
A JOURNEY INTO THE HEART CENTER ACCESSING OUR 2-3-4 ENERGIES
We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. MOTHER TERESA
In Module 3 we continue our journey by diving into the Heart Center of 2, 3, & 4. The Heart Center holds the deep connection, compassion, and warm energy we need to serve as healers for all of humanity. We explore the role of Enneagram Heart Types as cultural allies and racial healers, and unlock the key to accessing our capacity for love & grace through an understanding of the perspectives within the Heart Center. In this section, we explore: » The inherent hidden biases within Heart Types » How to engage in difficult conversations and situations regarding race with grace and authentic feelings to bring about healing through the 2-3-4 lenses » How to embrace the 2-3-4 lenses to gain new and deeper understanding of the racial divide » Recognizing the warning signs of shame & guilt and how it manifests differently for each Heart Type » How to harness the warm energy of the Heart Types and access the gifts they hold » How to unlock our capacity for compassion and connection through the 2-3-4 lenses in order to stand in a space of love and light during times of conflict
Module Four
THE HEALERS EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING TO EMBODY THE 2-3-4 ENERGY
The more we can be in a relationship with those who might seem strange to us, the more we can feel like we're neighbors and all members of the human family. FRED ROGERS
In this module, we bring the wisdom from Module 3 and dive into experiential exercises for each Heart Type. We will create scenarios and develop instances for real life learning and application in which the unique perspectives of the Heart Types’ energies can be used as gifts to create a healing space for all people. We will come together as a group to:
» Work through the Heart Type’s gifts in order to maintain a space of love and compassion across conflicts and disconnects » Discover how despite our individual Enneagram Type we still have access to the heart driven energies of the 2, 3, & 4 » Articulate where we see ourselves being able to harness these energies and exactly how to bring it out into the world with grace, compassion, and empathy » Create awareness for continued opportunities of accessing our universal oneness and unlocking the Divine Love for all of humanity
Module Five
A JOURNEY INTO THE HEAD CENTER ACCESSING OUR 5-6-7 ENERGIES
This is important: to get to know people, listen, expand the circle of ideas. The world is crisscrossed by roads that come closer together and move apart, but the important thing is that they lead towards the Good. POPE FRANCIS
In Module 5 we finish our journey through the Enneagram map by diving into the Head Center of 5, 6, & 7. The Head Center encompasses the wisdom, stillness, and connection we all need to serve bridge builders for all of humanity. We explore the role of Enneagram Head Types as cultural allies and racial bridge builders, and develop our capacity to find perspective through love and empathy within the Head Center. In this section, we explore: » The inherent hidden biases within Head Types » How to engage difficult conversations regarding race with grace and knowledge to reconcile the historical narrative and bring about understanding through the 5-6-7 lenses » How to embrace the 5-6 and 7 lenses to gain a broader context & deeper understanding of the racial divide » Recognizing the warning signs of anxiety, fear, & disconnection and how it manifests in distinct ways for each Head Type » The necessary stillness of each Head type in order to find grace, serenity, & universal oneness » How to build the bridge over troubled waters
Module Six
THE BRIDGE BUILDERS EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING TO RECEIVE THE 5-6-7 ENERGY
Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule. BUDDHA
In this module, we bring the wisdom from Module 5 and dive into experiential exercises for each Head Type. We will create scenarios and develop instances for real life learning and application in which the unique perspectives of the Head Types’ energies can be used as gifts to rebuild the bridges that differences broke. We will come together as a group to:
» Work through the Head Type’s gifts in order to develop the stillness needed to reconnect to our universal oneness » Discover how despite our individual Enneagram Type we still have access to the cerebral energies of the 5, 6, & 7 » Articulate where we see ourselves being able to harness these energies and exactly how to bring it out into the world with compassionate perspective, understanding, and Divine wisdom » Create awareness for continued opportunities of accessing our universal oneness through reconnection, stillness, & balance
Module Seven
DEFINING OUR PATH FINDING OUR GUIDING MISSION & VISION
A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history. MAHATMA GANDHI
After reflecting on the wisdom acquired from Part I & II we explore the connection between core motivation, basic fear, the energy of the passion that lands you in the fixation and into the virtue, and understanding & accessing the energies throughout the map. We will ask ourselves: Where am I now? Why I am called to this work? Where am I going?
In this final chapter of our journey through Part II we will work with others who share the same dominant point on the Enneagram map and develop a guiding mission statement. Our hearts, our souls, and our purpose come together to shine a light on our path - bringing the past, present, & future into focus.
