Description
Beatrice Chestnut, PhD – The Enneagram of Spiritual Awakening 2024
Beatrice Chestnut, PhD – The Enneagram of Spiritual Awakening 2024: This course, led by Enneagram expert Dr. Beatrice Chestnut, explores the Enneagram as a powerful tool for spiritual growth and awakening. The 2024 edition delves into the nine Enneagram types, offering insights into how each type’s core motivations and patterns can either hinder or facilitate spiritual development. Through lectures, self-reflection exercises, and guided practices, participants will learn how to use the Enneagram to transcend their ego, deepen their self-awareness, and foster a more awakened, authentic way of being. The course aims to provide a path to greater spiritual clarity and transformation.
During this Enneagram course, you’ll:
- Embark on the 3-stage Enneagram path of self-development — and learn how to initiate your growth journey
- Explore how the Enneagram helps you to spiritually awaken by illuminating key blind spots that keep you stuck in life
- Discover your Enneagram type as an important entry point to using it for transformation
- Cultivate witness consciousness through guided meditations that go progressively deeper each week — and begin to separate your personality type from your true self
- Experience the virtue and holy ideas associated with your type
- Move beyond your personality into higher-level experiences of life
- Gain a deeper understanding of the spiritual dimension of the Enneagram — and how it can be used to activate the archetypal “hero’s journey”
- Unveil your shadow, how it operates, and how to face it to deconstruct unconscious patterns and behaviors that are holding you back
- Recognize how you can access and begin to experience the “pull up” toward your more essential self — a kind of spiritual inspiration that helps you move beyond your personality’s habits
Having studied and worked with the Enneagram for 30 years, Beatrice has personally used the Enneagram as a lifelong tool for expanding her own inner work. She is a past president of the International Enneagram Association (IEA) and has contributed significantly to the Enneagram community.
Her knowledge, combined with her work as a psychotherapist, adds texture, support, and grounding to the hard work of spiritual awakening.
The ancient teachings of the Enneagram offer an important modern-day framework for personal and spiritual evolution — and for raising global consciousness to create a more positive, sustainable, and self-aware world.
Most importantly, Enneagram teachings can illuminate the inner transformations you need so that you can experience more meaning and purpose in your relationships, work, health, and life.

Module 1: Go Beyond Personality to Manifest Your Highest Potential With the Enneagram Path of Awakening (August 29)
Discover how the Enneagram model works as a powerful path of self-development — including what the Enneagram is, where it comes from, and how exactly it helps us transform.
Explore the Enneagram path as a 3-stage journey of awakening.
Beatrice will introduce the concept of self-observation and guide you in simple practices to cultivate an inner witness — a powerful tool for unveiling unconscious habits.
Begin to distance yourself from your ego by building your capacity to observe your personality and shift its focus through an act of conscious will.
Learn about the elements of the Enneagram system and how they fit together to help you move forward on your journey from a lower state of awareness to a higher level of awareness — rediscovering your true self rather than identifying with a false self.
In this session, you’ll explore:
- What the Enneagram really is and how it can help you activate spiritual awakening
- A guided experience of the inner witness — and how observing yourself and shifting your attention supports your personal growth
- Elements of the Enneagram — and how they can be applied in self-development to help you cultivate self-acceptance and positive change

Module 2: Accurately Identify Your Enneagram Type & Explore Subtypes, Part I — Unveil Your Unconscious Habits & Shift Into Deeper Self-Awareness (September 5)
How can you use the Enneagram to guide your path of awakening?
Recognize what the first stage of the path looks like for four of the nine types.
Learn how to find and confirm your Enneagram personality type and what to do to begin the growth journey.
Discover how to identify and confirm types 8, 9, 1, and 2 — including traits you must possess in order to be a specific type, and patterns of thinking, feeling, and behavior you can begin to observe about your type and subtype.
An important benefit of this course is that you’ll come to understand your Enneagram type. Many Enneagram approaches don’t include this specific and deep dimension of recognizing the dominant instinct or survival drive that fuels your personality’s less conscious habits.
In this session, you’ll explore:
- The first stage of the Enneagram path of self-development — and what to do to initiate your growth journey
- Ideas and resources for finding your type as an important entry point to using the Enneagram for transformation

- How to observe patterns in the moment and strengthen your inner witness and begin disidentifying with personality
- How your personality limits you — and how you can wake up to this limitation and begin to free yourself

Discover key traits and patterns associated with the other five Enneagram types and 15 of the 27 subtypes — including traits you must possess to be these types and subtypes.
Continue to deepen your practice of strengthening your inner witness that notices specific patterns, begin to disidentify with personality, explore how your personality limits you, and recognize how you can wake up to this limitation and begin to free yourself.
Recognize ways to identify and confirm types 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 — including things to do when starting out on the path of development, patterns to observe, and subtypes.

Module 4: See, Own & Integrate the Shadow, Part I — Discover Your Blind Spots, Fixations & Key Unconscious Patterns (September 19)
Explore the second stage of self-development with the Enneagram, spotlighting blind spots and shadow aspects — the main unconscious patterns of thinking, feeling, and behavior that each type needs to become more conscious of in life.
For types and subtypes, Beatrice will share blind spots and key unconscious patterns that need to be made more conscious. Discover what this means for the first four types — 8, 9, 1, and 2 — including type patterns and subtype drives, fixations, and passions.

Module 5: See, Own & Integrate the Shadow, Part II — Go Deeper Into Key Unconscious Patterns, Passions & Fixations (September 26)
The Enneagram is an effective tool for seeing, owning, and integrating the shadow, which actually holds valuable insights and gifts.
Deepen your exploration of the second stage of self-development with the Enneagram by further illuminating where you are blocking your spiritual growth.
Beatrice will go deeper into type blind spots, subtype blind spots, and key unconscious patterns that need to be made more conscious for each type…
… and then offer specifics on what this means for types 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 — including type patterns and subtype drives, fixations, and passions.

Module 6: Discover Your True Self, Part I — Gain Clarity on What You’re Actually Reaching Through Your Virtues & Holy Ideas (Tuesday, October 1)
The third stage of the Enneagram’s framework for self-development explores the journey of each type as it begins to grow and expand into its true self, and provides powerful insights into the question, “Who am I, really?”
Gain actionable steps on how you can move toward embodying more of the virtue of your type — and the holy idea associated with it.
Understanding the more expansive aspects of who you are can help you create a clearer sense of what you’re reaching for — and can eventually attain when you do sincere inner work.
As you immerse yourself in the hard but fulfilling work of self-observation and the psychological development work to move beyond the lower state of the personality, you’ll begin to transform your lived experience to a more spiritual state of consciousness.
Discover what this journey looks like for types 8, 9, 1, and 2.
In this session, you’ll explore:

- The virtue associated with your personality type that opposes the passion — and the virtues and holy ideas of types 8, 9, 1, and 2

Continue to explore the Enngram’s insights on the question, “Who am I, really?” as you gain a deeper understanding of the journey to grow and expand into your true self.
Use witness consciousness to begin to feel when you’re getting closer to your true self.
Beatrice will share what the higher side looks like for the remaining five types — 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 — including how you can move toward embodying more of the virtue and holy idea of your type.
She’ll also offer concluding thoughts about how you can continue on the path of spiritual awakening and growth after the course.
