Beyond the Ideal Self - Intentional Living Circle w/Sophia Carmien

Each Enneagram type strives to embody a specific image ideal. It shapes how we live, our values and strengths, but also our blind spots. Exploring and questioning this image can open the door to more freedom and self-understanding.
Description: Each Enneagram type carries an ideal image, a sense of the kind of person you want to be. This ideal can be inspiring, shaping your strengths and the ways you contribute to the world. It gives you direction and meaning.
At the same time, this image can become restrictive. When it turns into something you feel you must live up to, it can create pressure, triggers, blind spots, and a sense of falling short. Parts of your experience that do not fit the image may be overlooked or be subject to an inner critic.
In this Intentional Living Circle, we will explore the image ideal of each Enneagram type and how it shows up in your life. You will have space to reflect on what you resonate with and how this image shapes your life and sense of self.
We will also gently challenge these ideals by exploring where they do not fully hold true and what they means for you. By loosening your grip on the image, you open space for more flexibility, honesty, and a fuller experience of who you are.
Facilitator: Sophia Carmien is an Enneagram teacher and guide who helps people reconnect with their deeper selves by bringing awareness to inner patterns and expanding what’s possible. After experiencing a profound transformation through her own work with the Enneagram, she now shares this tool of ancient wisdom with others. Through teaching, workshops, and one-on-one work, she supports the shift from habitual reactivity to a life of freedom and empowered authenticity. Website: www.essentialwholeness.life
