Enneagram 2.0 with Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes

Due to CP's summer break, we're not having any new episodes, so we hope you enjoy this blast from the past with one of our curated episodes!

We are not our personalities. However, when we are unaware of our lower selves, it’s easy to identify with our personalities. In this episode, Uranio Paes goes through each of the nine types to give examples of how to fool the personality so that we can be free from its hold on us.

Each of the nine Enneagram types has an over-developed Center of Intelligence. Uranio talks about The Fourth Way, an approach to self-development created by George Gurdjieff. Gurdjieff was the pioneer who brought the Enneagram to the West. He taught that the first way is the way of the body, the second is the way of the heart, and the third is the way of the mind. The Fourth Way is mixing these three Centers of Intelligence so our personality doesn’t control how we react and we can be a more complete human beyond the confines of our personality.

By definition, the nine Enneagram personality types are problematic, and issues related to the ego affect close relationships.

It's easy to see how the other person brings problems into a relationship, but it's much harder to see how we bring challenges, too. Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes explain the challenges that each of the nine Enneagram types creates in close relationships.

Bea and Uranio are giving a workshop called Art of Conscious Connection: Healing Through Dialogue in January and February of 2025. Participants will explore how styles of communication can help bridge gaps and help overcome challenges.

This week, due to our retreats happening on full speed, we're reposting one of our #BestOF2025 episodes!

In this episode, we dive deep into the psychological layers of the Enneagram’s three instincts: Self-Preservation, Social, and Sexual. We explore the profound influence of parenting dynamics on the dominant instinct, uncovering how caregivers shape our instinctual survival strategies.

How does a parent’s role reinforce or distort an instinct’s expression? Why do some of us become hyper-independent while others seek belonging at all costs? And what happens when our core needs feel unmet?

Join us as Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes bridge the wisdom of the Enneagram with psychological inquiry.

Today, Uranio Paes speaks about fixations in the Enneagram and deepens the understanding of this essential concept for self-development. In this episode, he explains that fixations are limiting beliefs of the mental center, which arise from the loss of contact with higher ideas and shape the way we think, perceive, and interpret reality.

Urânio shows how each type builds an identity based on these fixations, creating biases, obsessions, and patterns that restrict awareness. He also presents how recognizing and working through these structures is fundamental to breaking identification with the ego and accessing higher levels of perception and presence.
