Presenter: Lindiwe Mkhondo

"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"

February 2026

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.

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."
