Deeper Enneagram teaching: The Enneagons of the Lies and the Traps

Lesser-known elements in the Enneagram - the Enneagons of the Lies and Traps - are particularly helpful wisdom in the Coaching context. Not to diagnose our clients, but to notice them in ourselves as practitioners. Sometimes we try to "teach" a coachee our coping strategy, and it is unfortunately a fake cure (Lie) and a Trap. This is a powerful reminder of the fact that we are all looking for the right things, just in all the wrong places.

What does the Enneagram mean by "Integration"

On Saturday 30th May I will be taking practitioners through perspectives and experiential practices that help us understand the meaning and outcomes of "Integration" in our Enneagram work. 

The Enneagram and Neuroscientist Daniel Siegel both speak about the centrality of Integration to our psychological growth, healing, wellbeing and self-efficacy.
What does this mean and how do neuroscience and the Enneagram come together in a way that empowers us to grow and change? 

This session invites you to see how the dots join, walk away with some huge “AHA!” moments, and discover some powerful keys to change for you and your clients.

Join us for a rich, complex topic made simple and accessible!

More Info about the session content:
Dr. Daniel Siegel says that flexibility, adaptability, a sense of inner coherency, the availability of energy in our system, and our psychological stability depend on a wide number of ongoing types of integration. The Enneagram term “integration” means something slightly different, but the overall goal and the process of integration are almost identical. The dynamic process of integration, from an Enneagram perspective, is mapped out in the Levels of Development (also often called "Levels of Integration"), as well as by the Lines, the Centres, and other integrative elements of this wondrous symbol.Normal text.

The Body Centre Keeps the Score 

Cicci Lyckow Backman and I had a wonderful conversation about how we need to focus on the BODY CENTRE in all of our Enneagram work.

"Walking the Inner Camino- 
Coming Home to Myself"

Write your awesome label here.
This beautiful Community of Practice session guided us through a heroine's inner quest- a camino.

Lindiwe Mkhondo walked the Camino de Santiago earlier this year– 780km across Spain. But the real journey was within. This was a path through the deeper terrain of her own being.

In this deeply personal and evocative sharing, Lindi shares her Camino as a passage through the nine landscapes of the Enneagram – each one revealing a doorway to transformation. From the whisper that called her forward, to the breaking points of doubts and pain, to moments of grace, beauty, wholeness and profound stillness…

This session offers a deeply human and sacred exploration of what it means to come home to oneself.

Presenter: Cicci Lyckow Bäckman
Topic: Enneagram-informed Self Compassion

Write your awesome label here.
This meeting was not just a presentation but an experiential mini-workshop on Enneagram-informed self-compassion led by Cicci Lyckow Bäckman, who shared her expertise on how ego identification affects self-compassion practices.

Cicci introduced the concept that true self-compassion requires recognising when we keep our hearts at a distance, and she guided participants through exercises exploring how different Enneagram types experience self-compassion at various levels of development.

About us

Experiential knowing

Our vision is to make you more confident and creative with the Enneagram, more professional in its application, and more at home in your true Self. We make Enneagram education accessible for students from all over the world. 

Our mission is to develop the dedicated individuals who seek deeper knowledge and understanding, inspire their creative passion, and increase all students' self-confidence in applying the endlessly self-renewing wisdom of the Enneagram in their daily lives. Let's learn and grow together. We can't do this work alone. 

Why should I take the 5D® Trauma-informed Coaching Certificate?
"Thank you — deeply and sincerely. I’m walking more upright, more open, ready to receive and to serve, with so much more deeply felt awareness of myself and others than a year ago."
"When I joined this training a year ago, I wasn’t entirely sure why I felt drawn to it...

Through your teaching, Ingrid, and through the shared wisdom and presence of this group, something in me has been shifting over the past year — sometimes dramatically, sometimes subtly… I was being prepared, though I didn’t yet know for what.

I wanted you to know that your teaching, presence, and trauma-informed way of being will ripple far beyond this group — into the lives of children and carers who may never know your names, but will feel the difference....

Much love"

Presenter: Helen English
Topic: The Enneagram and Daoism

Write your awesome label here.
This was a glimpse into the very big world.

In Helen's presentation we were guided to appreciate essential elements of Daoist philosophy and how it opens up a new relationship with the Enneagram symbol as a dynamic system, and with ourselves as evolving in relationship with the flow of existence. 

What becomes possible when we bring more flow, fluidity and systemic awareness to our Enneagram practice?

Helen English is an exceptionally qualified IEA Professional Member, Certified Integral Coach, group facilitator and OD consultant with 20+ years Enneagram experience.

Presenter: Author Doug Lynam
Topic: Taming your Money Monster 

Write your awesome label here.
This was profound and went far beyond money questions!

In Doug's fantastic presentation we discovered how our type's sacred wound creates financial fear, how that fear drives our worst money habits, and—most importantly—how to access our type's path to financial healing. Whether you're a One who can't stop budgeting, a Seven who spends to avoid pain, or a Five hoarding resources against future scarcity, this session will help you see your money patterns with compassion and clarity—and give you practical tools to transform financial vices into virtues.

The Enneagram and Narcissism

I work with a lot of people whose identities have been traumatised by narcissistic abuse. IYKYK.
The key is restoring your grounding in what you know to be real, and more than that, to your trust in yourself to know what is real. 

What other Enneagram teachers say 

Read stories of people who have enjoyed heir encounter with Ingrid's teachings
"This is one of the best Enneagram courses I have ever attended. It is so great to go beyond superficial Typology into the real depth of the system and questions of the nature of consciousness and what we really are."
Rob hutchinson
"It is great to see people teaching the Enneagram properly and brining in the true wisdom instead of getting better and better at describing the boxes."
russ hudson
“Incredible Course, I cannot recommend Ingrid and her intuitive wisdom highly enough. She creates the ideal psychological environment for deep introspection & learning.. Safe”

Why work with us?

Leadership is growth leadership 

Takdīr Transformation has worked with global leaders and organisations for almost 30 years.

Our work is highly customised to context, and we have helped thousands of leaders get better results through highly effective change and growth interventions. We catalyse better strategic thinking and communication, help leaders understand their people and build deeper trust, and guide them in how to create high levels of coherence and alignment in their relational ecosystems. 

Our leadership programme delegates, executive teams and individual clients rapidly gain a more optimal grip on the demands of their stakeholder contexts, deepen their credibility, and take up their roles with clearer veracity, confidence and personal presence. 

The work we do is described as "life-changing" and I make sure that our clients can always sincerely say "it way exceeded my expectations". 

Book a call to talk about your goals and the headaches you need to get out of your way.
