America as Type 3: Living in a Culture Under Stress (Intentional Living Circle)

Explore what it means to live in a culture shaped by the qualities of Enneagram Type 3, especially when those qualities are under stress. We will look at how this affects us individually and collectively, and explore how we can respond in ways that support greater well-being in ourselves, our communities, and our country.

Description: America can be described through the lens of Enneagram as a Type 3: promoting achievement, productivity, success, image, competition, and the drive to accomplish. When these qualities become stressed and distorted, they can affect our institutions and communities, and the way we experience ourselves and our lives.

In this Intentional Living Circle, we will explore what it means to live within a culture shaped by Type 3 qualities, particularly during a time when that country is under stress. How does the culture around us influence what we value and how we measure ourselves? How that does a Type 3 country show up as we collectively become more stressed out, overwhelmed, fractured, and disconnected?

More importantly, let’s turn our attention toward what we can do. How can we use the enneagram to help ourselves and our communities become less stuck, more balanced, healthier, and more connected? What can we do to support ourselves and influence our society for the better?

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. Connect at www.essentialwholeness.life.
