Welcome to Keys to the Enneagram, with teachers Russ Hudson and Sandra Maitri.
As more and more people are discovering, the Enneagram is very helpful in parsing out the basic personality typologies that drive our behavior and our orientation toward the world. But the original purpose of this system arose out of contemplative practice, a way to realize the truth of what we are beyond those structures.
In this 11-month course, Sandra Maitri and Russ Hudson will synthesize decades of Enneagram knowledge and teaching experience with a lifetime of Diamond Approach spiritual development and methodology to help us reconnect to our essential being through the Enneagram.
We’re so grateful you’re joining us for this program. It is a unique opportunity to explore the spiritual potential of the Enneagram, and the ways it can free us from our fixations and transform our lives.
