What drove Martin Luther King Jr. to push against the most entrenched systems of racism in the United States? Why was the Dalai Lama chosen as the next link in the centuries old lineage of Tibetan Buddhism? What abilities enabled Michele Obama to be effective and remain serene through her 8 years as FLOTUS? What makes these types driven to heal and transform our world? What wounds did they experience to bring them to their adult convictions?
It is possible that in their younger lives these types were encouraged to attune to the feelings and needs of others to the detriment of themselves. When these personality types are unbalanced, they can prove to be difficult and challenging partners because they become seemingly impossible to get close to. Functioning always from a gut instinct perspective can often result in self created conflict, chaos and rigidity.
Join Kevin and Niseema as they complete the 3 episode journey through the points of the Enneagram with a discussion of this fascinating "Gut" Triad. Type 8, the Challenger, focuses on challenging the rules and the people in their environment; Type 9, the Peacemaker, lives to bring peace and harmony to their environment; Type1, the Reformer, focuses on what is imperfect in the environment and seeks to set everything aright.
Studying the Enneagram enables you to understand yourself and others better, living this life with more joy and compassion.
