Wholeness Within: The Enneagram and
the Sacred Dance of Feminine and Masculine
An Invitation to Wholeness
We are gathering for a community conversation and experience where we explore the sacred dance between the Sacred Feminine and Redeemed Masculine—two essential energies at the heart of our spiritual wholeness. Through the powerful mirror and map of the Enneagram, we’ll uncover how these energies move through each type, and how their integration can awaken our deepest essence.
In a world moving beyond rigid identities and traditional belief systems, many of us are sensing the birth of an emerging spirituality—one rooted in intuition, compassion, and collective awareness. This workshop invites you to explore what that means for you personally and how we might move toward wholeness as a community.
Following this workshop, there will be an option to continue the conversation and community through a gathering of four Zoom sessions and a concluding retreat. More on that below.
What You’ll Experience
Understand the meaning of the Sacred Feminine and Redeemed Masculine—both in their shadow and growth expressions.
Explore the Enneagram’s three intelligence centers (Head, Heart, Body), the three energy centers (Active, Receptive, Reconciling), and how balancing them leads to wholeness.
Identify how the unhealthy and healthy forms of the feminine and masculine are expressed in the 9 Enneagram types.
Discover how the union of the centers and the Feminine and Masculine guides us toward our sacred essence.
Engage in embodied practices, and personal and small group reflection exercises, that help uncover our barriers and pathways to wholeness.
More Details
This workshop is for the spiritually curious, Enneagram enthusiasts, and anyone longing to integrate their inner masculine and feminine energies for greater balance, depth, and freedom. No prior Enneagram experience is necessary.

Beyond the Workshop: A Continuing Journey
Becoming Whole through the Dance of the Sacred Feminine and Masculine
We view our initial workshop on October 18th as a doorway to a deeper community connection and conversation. A follow-up 3-month community offering is designed to continue our conversation that is rooted in the emerging spirituality, the Enneagram, and the sacred feminine and masculine. You do not need to attend the initial workshop to join our Continuing Journey. We will seek to deepen our personal practices and our support for each other as we integrate the expanding spiritual currents.

4 Zoom Gatherings (Fridays, 3:00 – 4:30 pm — Nov. 7, Nov. 21, Dec. 5, Dec. 19)
Sessions recorded for those unable to attend live.
