Enneagram Minnesota is a volunteer-led local chapter of the International Enneagram Association. We have been offering quality Enneagram education events since 1998.

This program year, we are focusing on integrating and deepening our inner work. It's so important to move the Enneagram beyond lists and descriptions and into embodiment and practice. We can't wait to learn together from our fantastic facilitators and presenters.

DECEMBER BRUNCH:
HOW TO NAME, TAME & TRANSFORM YOUR INNER CRITIC

Join us in-person on Saturday December 9, from 9:30am-12:00pm CT at Carondelet Center, St. Paul, MN.
Presented by Enneagram Minnesota president, Chelsea Forbrook.

You’re invited to our annual brunch! We will have food, coffee and tea, followed by a mini-workshop on working with and befriending your Inner Critic. We all have an Inner Critic, no matter what our Enneagram Type. Each personality’s Inner Critic has a different set of demands, and if we don’t know how to recognize them, that Critic’s agenda will take control of us every time, without our consent! The Inner Critic is the mechanism that keeps us stuck and unable to evolve, and is therefore a crucial component to Inner Work, growth, and healing. Chelsea will lead us through a set of exercises that will help you name, tame and transform your unique and sneaky Inner Critic!

KNOW JUSTICE KNOW PEACE:

A TRANSFORMATIVE JOURNEY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE, ANTI-RACISM,
AND HEALING THROUGH THE POWER OF THE ENNEAGRAM

Join us online via zoom on Thursday January 11, from 6:30-8:30 pm CT
Presented by IEA Accredited Professional with Distinction, Dr Deborah Threadhill Egerton.

If we truly intend to repair the divides our world currently faces, we must start with ourselves. The Enneagram provides a detailed guide for inner work and allows us to move out of a “me and mine” mentality and into an “us and ours” way of being—this is the framework for accelerating a cognitive shift into mindfulness at an individual level which can help us to become more present to how we show up in the world in relation to “other” human beings. Engaging in our own personal Enneagram journey is essential to becoming an authentic Ally, Advocate, and Love Warrior, but we must all remember that the work doesn’t stop once we acquire the knowledge; we must do something with it. We must be willing to look in the mirror and see ourselves, accept our warts, foibles, and all, and acknowledge that we are all works in progress. However, the work must also include how our beings are received by the outside world. We all need to step into our place in order to bring hope and healing out into the world.

We’ll discover 3-centered practices to nourish our journey, engage reflection prompts, co-author a more expansive love story, and help one another across Enneagram Type thresholds as we participate in Love’s conscious evolution–in support of our individual as well as collective healing.

Presented by certified Robert Peng Qigong trainer and Riso-Hudson Insight Approach Enneagram Practitioner Kathy Jankowski

During this weekend retreat, participants will learn Qigong philosophy as it relates to the Enneagram and practices to get energy moving in all three centers. We will explore encountering and opening to higher states of consciousness and how to harness ourselves to the present moment. These practices are a lively and spirited way to fuse with the emergence of the Holy Ideas and Virtues. We will holistically weave higher states of consciousness into perception so that we experience more wisdom, love, vitality, grounding, inspiration, kindness, and compassion. We will move beyond observation and habit change into a profound dialogue with Life itself. A special Saturday evening session is planned for those wishing to relax their whole nervous system and deeply nourish the ground of Being.

Enneagram Minnesota hosted Phil GebbenGreen of the Enneagram Prison Project in October 2023.
