Level I: “Using the Enneagram in Your Life”
The heart of Level I is freestanding in itself for your own personal development, the focus is on you. It is a movement from basic knowledge to understanding what it means to fully integrate the Enneagram in your personal life. This allows you to begin mastering a growth process that will transform you and your relationship with others in your life.
In level I, you will come to understand the Enneagram through personal use and growth. You will find the truth of who you are, the gifts that you were given at birth and how to best use those gifts today. It is about reducing your ego and your unhealthy beliefs and behaviors so you can return to your essence, the best person God intended you to be.
Level I is the starting point to become proficient in teaching the Enneagram or using the Enneagram in your practice as a helping professional. It can be taken by helping professionals to begin your self-awareness and growth or to enhance the depth of what you currently know about the Enneagram. Level I can also be taken by anyone who would like to go deeper into self-awareness and self-care.
Level I is a pre-requisite to Level II for those who have not begun their own inner work through the wisdom of the Enneagram.
