We will continue our exploration of the synergies between the Enneagram and other related systems. Last month, we heard from Nicholas about relations with Ichazo instinct-types, MBTI and Wilber's system. Kirk presented his views on relations with astrology.

This month, we will plan to probe somewhat more deeply into the "instinctual subtypes" provided by the Enneagram as combined with Ichazo's three types of "instincts". The goal will be a more interactive discussion in which those who are comfortably solid with their Enneagram Type will be invited to explore possible sub-types according to this addendum to the system. There will be a short presentation followed by more open discussion.

(If the preponderance of attendees are beginners not completely comfortable or secure about their regular Enneagram type, we may default to a discussion of strategies for discovery of overall Enneagram-type. In this case, discussion on instinctual subtypes will be postponed.)

If you have a copy of Riso and Hudson's Wisdom of the Enneagram (1999), please read over the descriptions of the instinctual subtypes for your type and bring the book along if possible.
