36 | The Enneagram 5 - Gut Types (8s, 9s, & 1s)

This is episode 5 on the Enneagram, with a focus on the so-called "gut" or "instinct" types — the 8s (Leaders), 9s (Peacemakers), and 1s (Reformers). The Enneagram, which focuses on personal and spiritual growth, is one of the most well developed models of personality out there. Although not a scientific model, it has been used effectively by theologians, spiritual directors, therapists, laypeople, and a number of others to articulate what drives us, and what might lead to greater wholeness, awareness and fulfillment. A number of sources form the backbone of this series: “The Enneagram” (Richard Rohr), “The Spiritual Dimension of the Enneagram” (Sandra Maitri), “The Enneagram of Passions and Virtues” (Sandra Maitri), “The Complete Enneagram” (Beatrice Chestnut) and “The Road Back to You” (Ian Morgan Cron & Suzanne Stabile).
