Most people know the Enneagram as a system of nine personality types.
But what if that’s only half the story?

In this episode of the Narrative Tradition podcast, Peter O'Hanrahan interviews Jeanette Van Stijn, a pioneer in the Enneagram field.

They discuss Jeanette's EnneaFlow Transformative Process Model, which outlines the ten phases of each completed transformation.

Jeanette shares insights on the importance of waking up to oneself, the cathartic process of facing one's contributions to problems, and the significance of community in personal growth.

The conversation emphasizes practical applications of the Enneagram in coaching and counseling, as well as the upcoming Enneagram Summer School.
