In this episode of the International Enneagram Association podcast, we listen to the first part of a discussion with Laura Baker, Jack Killen and the late-David Daniels as they talk about The Brain Group – a collaboration with Laura, Jack, David, Denise Daniels and Dan Siegel – and the model they’ve developed called Patterns of Developmental Processing. The human brain and the mind operate in the world by looking and seeing for patterns, making assumptions based on those patterns, and then motivating actions on that basis. These five researchers bring their own perspective to discuss how the Enneagram might develop over someone’s lifespan and the connections between the nine early temperaments that align perfectly with the nine Enneagram types. They also explore some of the challenges they saw in the development of their model.

In this episode of the International Enneagram Association podcast, A.H. Almaas, a spiritual leader and founder of the Ridwan School and the Diamond Approach to Self-Realization, discusses the interconnection between psychology and spirituality within the Enneagram. Rather than treating these as separate parallel processes, Almas explains how the Enneagram reveals them as two inseparable facets of the same consciousness. He explores the Enneagram’s nine holy ideas, emphasizing that understanding the holy ideas represents a shift in perspective that transforms how we perceive ourselves, others, and reality itself.

In this episode of the International Enneagram Association podcast, we listen to a panel led by Michael Naylor, Anne Geary and Renée Siegel about utilizing the Enneagram with 12-step recovery work. They share their personal journeys with Al-Anon and addiction recovery and how the Enneagram helped them along the way. They explain how the Enneagram map helps individuals understand their unique patterns while engaging with the 12 steps, exploring the intersection of somatic practice, heart-centered healing, and cognitive work across the three centers.

In this episode of the International Enneagram Association podcast, we listen to conversations from three small groups that attended last year’s IEA Conference in Minneapolis. We hear how each group met through the Enneagram – many of them meeting in person for the first time at the conference. Sara Moore and Tamra Evangelista discuss how they help each other navigate being Type Threes. David Schultz and Ali McGhee share their first impressions of the IEA conference and how they think the Enneagram can change people’s lives. The Soul Sisters – that include Ann Wellman, Susan Hansch, Amy McCabe, Lisa Herman – have met once a month after initially attending Russ Hudson’s Enneagram for Conscious Living Class in 2021. While this group represents a diversity of Enneagram types, they reveal how they’ve created an authentic safe space that supports each other’s work.

In this episode of the International Enneagram Association podcast, we speak with Russ Hudson, author and one of the top teachers from The Enneagram Institute. We go beyond his prolific history with the Enneagram and learn more about Russ as a person. In this philosophical conversation, Russ shares how the core principles of humility, curiosity and gratitude can help us live a more conscious and kind life in the face of the difficulties that life inevitably brings us. He digs deep into what it means to be human and how the Enneagram ties with that so that we can cultivate more of our presence, create a safe space for other and build community.
