Julian Bermudez is a therapist, guide, and companion on the path of healing. He works closely with people navigating trauma, identity, and the integration of psychedelic experiences—helping them reconnect with the deep, unshakable truth of who they are.

His work is not conventional. It doesn’t revolve around diagnoses or protocols. Instead, it’s rooted in presence, deep listening, and the belief that healing is a return to our natural state of being: connected, present, and whole.

When Heath Davis Havlick happened upon the Enneagram, she wasn’t looking for personal transformation. She was happily married, gainfully employed, busily writing and out four or five nights a week at meetings or functions. But the Enneagram hit her like a freight train, because she realized that all her many pleasant endeavors were her Seven personality’s way of hiding from pain – hers and everyone else’s. She started a blog, and then created a couple of audio programs, and then a book. She started to hold workshops in her house and host a monthly EnneaGroup. She became a Riso-Hudson Certified Enneagram Teacher. Today, Heath writes and speaks about the Enneagram, often with respect to how personality influences our ability the fulfill God’s purpose for our lives. If you’re interested in having her speak, contact her at the email below. You can reach her at [email protected].
