But, thankfully, from the base of sobriety we can also begin the journey back to who we were designed to be. One of the key ways we can use to enrich that journey is through the wisdom pathway of the Enneagram process.

So you might say that - graphically at least - Nines can easily ‘see’ all the other types from their vantage point.  What is true from a graphic perspective is actually also true in reality: Nines tend to naturally notice everyone, are curious about their needs and viewpoints, and deeply desire to create a peaceful space that draws and keeps everyone together to bring about a greater common good.  Nines easily see the value in individuals, want to encour...2022-06-031h 21How\'s That Working For You?How's That Working For You?Teaching - Jane StrongTune in as Host Art Wimberly breaks down the Enneagram details contained in his recent interview with Jane Strong.2022-05-1803 minHow\'s That Working For You?How's That Working For You?UNIQUE BUT NOT TERMINAL!

Whether it’s the inner turmoil of the addicted person or the outer craziness their behavior eventually brings to their life and to those who care about them, chaos is sooner or later a dynamic in the addictive lifestyle. You don’t have to be an enneagram type Four to specialize in chaos but it sure seems to come with the territory.

So finding a community that can help absorb the shame is often a key to successful, long-term recovery.  But imagine you struggle deeply...2022-04-291h 07How\'s That Working For You?How's That Working For You?Teaching - Shannon ReevesHost Art Wimberly delicately dissects his interview with Enneagram 4, Shannon Reeves.2022-04-2702 minHow\'s That Working For You?How's That Working For You?If Life Was a Dance Would it Be a Waltz or The Bump? How an Enneagram Four Found Beauty in BalanceFrench philosopher, writer and mystic Simone Weil believed that “the soul’s natural inclination to love beauty is the trap God most frequently uses” to draw us closer.  All souls are designed to be attracted by beauty, and that “trap”, as she terms it, has the potential to draw each of us up to a deeper experience with the Divine.  Allusions to this powerful truth abound in many sacred traditions, such as in the Hebrew scriptures in Psalm 27 where this primal yearning of the human heart is expressed: “This only do I seek…that I may gaze on the fair beauty of the LO...2022-04-221h 12How\'s That Working For You?How's That Working For You?Teaching - Alison RobinsonHost Art Wimberly takes a deep dive into his interview with Alison Robinson.2022-04-2001 minHow\'s That Working For You?How's That Working For You?I Could Have Crushed the Pandemic!!!: The Bewildering Life Journey of an Enneagram FiveEnneagram type Fives often feel they did not get some of the instructions everyone else was handed about how to be human.  Deep and cerebral, Fives sometimes become a bit bewildered about how to effectively bring their ‘inner world’ outside to the rest of us, or, when, how and for how long to allow us access to their full self.  As a result they can default to hoarding their time, space and energy in an unconscious manner and doing life and relationships primarily thorough their head space.  This can result in them losing touch with the fullness of their heart a...2022-04-1857 minHow\'s That Working For You?How's That Working For You?Teaching - Adam FinesArt Wimberly delicately breaks down the Enneagram impact from his gripping interview with Adam Fines.2022-04-1303 minHow\'s That Working For You?How's That Working For You?Just Because You’re Paranoid Doesn’t Mean They’re Not Out To Get You!”: Ennea-type 6, OCD, Projection and AddictionOne of the strengths of beloved type Sixes is their built-in ability to forecast what might possibly go wrong in life or need special attention beforehand. In fact, one of the humorous conversations you often hear in enneagram communities is if you are going to parachute out of a plane or go on safari you really want a Six to be in charge! If something could go wrong their mental vigilance will anticipate it and alert the community to prevent it. However, the downside to this designed strength is that when less aware, a Six will often...2022-04-081h 01How\'s That Working For You?How's That Working For You?Teaching - David RidleyTune in with Host Art Wimberly for a brief teaching on our recording with David Ridley2022-03-3003 minHow\'s That Working For You?How's That Working For You?Talk About Your "FIXER-UPPERS”! The Resurrection, Restoration and Remodeling of an Enneagram SevenThe Basic Fear for the enneagram personality style 7 is to be restricted by boredom and the mundaneness of life, or feel trapped in negative emotional states with no options to move.  Believe it or not this impingement of their freedom causes something like terror at deep levels in a type 7 personality, and when not aware at a conscious level they will do or try almost anything to remain up, moving and happy, in order to avoid that emotional state.  When that dynamic is allowed to play out long enough the 7’s natural attraction to ‘more’ of anything can lead to deep...2022-03-2540 minThe Autonomous CreativeThe Autonomous CreativeChallenging the dominant culture: intent vs. interpretation with Ronald WimberlyOn this episode of The Autonomous Creative, I sit down for a super fun conversation with Ronald Wimberly.

An Ennea-type 7, Addiction, and Faith-Based 12 StepsIn today’s episode we are joined by Tyler Currier, an Ennegram type 7 who is also in long-term recovery from drugs and alcohol.  Sevens are often ‘life-of-the-party’ personalities, constantly filling their days and nights with new and exciting experiences. Often this over-planning can become emotionally gluttonous in nature, where if a little is good then more has to be better  This overuse of their mental space tends to keep unconscious Sevens in the future and thus disconnected from being fully present. As a result they rarely process life’s experiences effectively or deeply which limits their emotional and relational growth. 2021-12-0756 minHow\'s That Working For You?How's That Working For You?Hardship as a Pathway to Peace: A Type 9 learns to embrace conflict as essential to becoming a loving and productive peacemakerThe very well-known Serenity Prayer contains a less well-know line which claims we must become willing to “accept hardship as a pathway to peace” in order to mature into a life that is both powerful and serene at the same time.  But while most any of us would say we desire peace, we often go through life unconsciously resisting the healthy integration of hard things - such as conflict or tough questions - as a necessary element of a deep inner peace that can then powerfully impact the world around us.  And probably nowhere is that resistance more ingrained than it i...2021-11-111h 03How\'s That Working For You?How's That Working For You?Fine Wine, Haute Cuisine, Classic Cars…Heroin Addiction: Ennea-Type 3’s Are Successful at EVERYTHING!The inside joke about type 3’s is that they were all "dropped in a box of glitter when they were babies and its not their fault they’ve been shining ever since!”  Glittering 3’s just naturally attract people.  But underneath their ‘I am successful’ inner belief, 3’s are deeply starved for the affection or esteem those connections seem to promise.  This week’s episode explores the contours of 3-ness through an interview with Birmingham local Brent Bonham.  Brent seems to always succeed and perform at high levels, whether as a sober wine-tasting expert (Huh?), server of haute cuisine, homeless heroi...2021-11-101h 22How\'s That Working For You?How's That Working For You?Transformation After Midlife: Ennea-type Two and Healthy HelpingIn today’s episode we talk with the Reverend John Adams, who was introduced to the Enneagram wisdom tradition late in his life and identifies as a type Two.
