In this episode of Around the Circle, Jeff continues his introduction to Spiral Dynamics by looking at the high side and low side of each stage—and what each color can teach us about human growth.

This time, we move through Beige, Purple, Red, and Blue, exploring survival, belonging, individual power, and belief. Along the way, Jeff connects Spiral Dynamics with the Enneagram, showing how our values shape what we want, how we understand ourselves, and why we sometimes talk past the people closest to us.

Lastly, we consider an important possibility: growth doesn't always mean moving forward. Sometimes the healthiest move is reclaiming something valuable from an earlier stage—and learning to recognize the wisdom each color has to offer.

This episode introduces Spiral Dynamics as a framework for understanding human maturity, the values that shape us, and the predictable transitions we experience throughout life.

Jeff connects Spiral Dynamics with the Enneagram, asking how our stage of development influences what we seek from the Enneagram, how we understand our type, and ultimately what we believe the Enneagram is for.
