Want to understand more about what makes you tick and why you do the things you do?

The Enneagram is a personality profiling system, which looks at more than simply your key behaviours or strengths. It uncovers your shadow side and reveals a dynamic ‘map’ to the person you were created to be. It increases your self-knowledge and awareness by describing patterns of motivation – why you react to things and people the way you do - and it gives you more compassion for yourself and others.

The Enneagram can be a helpful window into understanding the triggers and behaviours of others, as well as how you might be projecting your shadow onto them.

In this introductory session being run for the diocese, we will look at an overview of the Enneagram and its nine types. There will be chance to start to identify your own type, or if you are already familiar with it, to get a refresher and see how the other types interact with you.

With a live panel including each of the nine types, there will be opportunity to hear directly about what it’s like to be a certain type.

If you are already familiar with the Enneagram, are a type 5 or 7 and would be prepared to say a few words about what it is like to be your type, please contact Revd Catherine Edenborough - catherine.edenborough@portsmouthcathedral.org.uk.

There is no charge for this session, but donations towards costs are welcome on the day
