Explore Your Enneagram Paradox

Tue, Sep 15, 2:00 AM

4.5

This monthly series explores the profound and practical wisdom of the Enneagram—a nuanced map of our inner landscape and potentiality. This dynamic framework reveals not only the ways we limit our capacity, but also the pathways back to our innate intelligence and compassion—wisdom that lives beyond ordinary knowledge. An essential step on the journey of awakening is learning to see ourselves as we truly are. As we relax more fully into our direct experience, our deeper nature begins to reveal itself. Something softens—we fall a little more in love with who and what we truly are. Together, we’ll explore the paradox of each Enneagram type: the drive and longing to find something that, in truth, was never lost. In our time together we’ll engage in experiential practices and reflections that engage our body, heart and mind. Being in the space together, each doing their own work, creates a field of transformation for all. Whether you are a seasoned student of the Enneagram or completely new to this map of the inner landscape, you are welcome here. **Folks new to the Enneagram are encouraged to join!** You don't need to know your core type in order to benefit from the class. The Enneagram Institute uses the RHETI test, which you can find here: [https://tests.enneagraminstitute.com/.](https://tests.enneagraminstitute.com/) Please note there is a $20 fee for the test, and it will provide you with three possible types that your core type may be. It is important to remember that this is just a test and no test is 100% accurate. Since numerous factors constitute one's core motivations, everyone should take the results lightly. After completing the test, begin observing yourself closely to see what is true for you. **Join us in person at 2929 24th street** \*\*OR online via Zoom: \*\*[https://tinyurl.com/SFDharma](https://tinyurl.com/SFDharma) (password: **108108**) **or 301-715-8592 to join by phone. Meeting ID: 545 039 806** **Diana Redmond** is a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and an accredited Enneagram teacher and professional member of the International Enneagram Association. She is known for her presence-based, inquiry-driven approach to transformation. For over 25 years, she has coached and mentored individuals and groups in cultivating self-awareness, authenticity, and wholehearted living. A former senior faculty member with the Deep Coaching Institute and instructor at San Francisco State University, Diana integrates the Enneagram as a potent framework for coaching excellence and embodied spiritual development. In her private practice, she mentors coaches and leaders, and also collaborates with Deep Living Lab to facilitate transformative experiences that awaken wisdom, compassion, and radical acceptance—a cornerstone of her work and the foundation for meaningful change. Grounded in decades of spiritual practice and nondual study, including years of training with Siddha Yoga master Swami Muktananda, Diana brings rare depth, warmth, and clarity to her teaching. She continues her ongoing Enneagram study and inner work with Sandra Maitri of the Diamond Approach. Suggested donation $20 - $40.
