Discover how the Enneagram’s harmonic triads reveal three distinct
ways of coping with life’s challenges. Explore how each type uses its style to regulate emotion, what strengths and limits come with it, and how understanding these patterns can open space for choice, connection, and compassion.

Title: Three Ways of Coping: Enneagram Types Under Stress

Description: Each of us learns a way to cope with the struggles and conflicts that come with living life as a human being. The Enneagram describes three primary approaches known as the harmonic triads: positive outlook, emotional realism, and competency. Each triad offers a particular way of regulating emotion and navigating challenges when things get difficult.

In this session, we will explore how each triad functions and how the types within it engage with their preferred coping style. We will look at the strengths and challenges of each approach and consider how your own style supports or limits you in daily life. We will also explore how these patterns influence communication and conflict, especially when people use different coping strategies. Through reflection and dialogue, we will examine what happens when our usual way of coping is no longer effective and how awareness can open new choices for responding to life with greater flexibility and understanding.

Everyone is invited to purchase their own dinner, then spend dinner time meeting other Enneagram enthusiasts and entrepreneurs. Each person is given time to introduce themselves and answer a question related to the evening's presentation topic. There is a space for sharing marketing materials and you can volunteer to be a presenter too! Being a presenter is a great way for you to share questions about the Enneagram or offer instruction, promoting your Enneagram practice.

This month's Presenter: Sophia Carmien
Description: Not every challenge is a problem to be solved. Some are polarities to be managed. The Enneagram symbol is full of polarities! This month, we will explore how seemingly opposing forces (like structure and flexibility, independence and connection, action and rest) can form a dynamic system rather than a conflict with a “right” side. Instead of choosing one and eliminating the other, we’ll explore how to move wisely between both poles to access the strengths of each.

Topic: Topic:
The Breath That Knows

A Harmonic Breath Series for Nervous System Coherence
Description:
Step into a field of resonance where your body remembers what the mind cannot explain.
“The Breath That Knows” is an ongoing energy alignment series dedicated to helping you develop embodied coherence through guided breath, subtle awareness, and energetic stabilization. Each session invites your nervous system to harmonize with what is already true—beneath tension, beyond thought.

What to Expect:

• Gentle group attunement through harmonic-informed breath
• Nervous system recalibration without force
• Deep stillness, presence, and body-centered insight
• Space to reflect and integrate in a supportive field

This isn’t performance or breathwork as exertion—this is energetic listening through breath, revealing the intelligence already within you.
No prior experience required. Just bring yourself and your breath.

Hosted in an intimate, grounded setting.
You’ll leave each session clearer, lighter, and more you.

Note on arriving late:
I allow a 5–7 minute settling-in window at the start. After that, the space closes to new arrivals (especially if I don't recognize your name) to honor the group’s focus. Thank you for respecting the container and everyone present.
I see you.
I celebrate you.
