Connecting You with Your Self

An exploration of how each type’s emotional patterns create suffering and how the Virtues help us find relief and allow our natural gifts to emerge.

Connecting You with YourSelf, a free online community
Intentional Living Circle
www.connectingyouwithyourself.com

Each Enneagram type carries a core emotional habit, traditionally called a Passion. These "Passions" shape how we react, protect ourselves, and pursue what we want, especially when we are under stress or out of balance. Over time, they keep us stuck in familiar patterns and quietly generate much of our suffering.

Each type also has a corresponding Virtue. Virtues help us find freedom from the Passions and the limitations and suffering they bring. They help us learn to inhabit our hearts more consciously. They support living in harmony with life and the freedom to allow our natural gifts to shine.
In this Intentional Living Circle, we will explore the Passions and Virtues of all nine types and look at how they show up for you. You will be invited to reflect on your own patterns and discover how engaging with the Virtues can support relaxation and emotional freedom in your everyday life.

This month's Presenter: Beth Kuper
Topic: Handshake Along the Lines of the Enneagram: Receiving and Giving the Gifts of the Types
Register at www.enneagramcolorado.org - receive the location

Every Enneagram type has two lines that extend out to two other types. Beth calls them “handshake lines” because they show an exchange: the gifts your type receives from other types. . . and the gifts your type gives to other types.
Each type gives the gifts from their strengths that are easiest to give; and each type receives the gifts they most need and want from another type. Understanding these gifts helps you value your type and appreciate other types in ways you might not have imagined. Come to this interactive presentation and find out what gifts your type receives and gives!
Bio: Beth Kuper has been studying the Enneagram and taking classes for more than 30 years. Professionally, she provides Enneagram Insight Sessions to clients who are interested in understanding more about the Enneagram, discovering their personality type, and learning how to use it for personal growth and transformation.

As a member of Enneagram Colorado IEA, Beth has led panel discussions and presentations, both in-person and online. Four years ago, she began serving on the Board of Directors of Enneagram Colorado IEA. She was unanimously elected Board Secretary, a position she will probably hold for life, since no one else will ever want it. Identifying as a Self-Preservation 5w4+6, she occasionally has a sense of humor. You can contact her at bethkuper@gmail.com.

Topic: The Breath That Knows

A Harmonic Breath Series for Nervous System Coherence

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.
