Enneagram for Resistance and Resilience

Delivering groceries. Marching. Patrolling neighborhoods.

These are trying, exhausting, frustrating, stressful times.

Attending vigils. Building barricades. Knitting caps.

However you are protecting your community, helping your neighbors and defending democracy, working with the enneagram can help you:

  • Manage your energy

  • Regulate your emotions

  • Recognize your gifts and needs

  • Take care of yourself and others

  • Reduce burnout and feeling overwhelmed

  • See people and relationships with fresh eyes

  • Build your tolerance for uncomfortable situations and conversations

Organizing volunteers. Protesting. Escorting children safely to school.

Build your resilience and equip yourself for the marathon today.

I offer enneagram coaching and teaching for all sorts of resisters. I will cater my work to fit your needs. If you know your enneagram type, we will start from there. If you don’t know your enneagram type, no worries. We can figure it out as we go.

One-Time Coaching

Together we will:

  • Discuss your enneagram type and how that impacts how you interact with the world

  • Look at patterns and habits you might be engaging in automatically, sometimes in ways that hurt your work, your relationships and your ability to take care of yourself

  • Explore some tools to help you recognize those patterns and habits in real time so you can start thinking and acting more intentionally

We can meet in person, we can meet over Zoom. We can meet in public, we can meet in a private, secure building. Decide on the best option for you and email me to schedule a session.

Cost: $200/90 minute session (standard); Pay What You Can (resistance special)

Mutual Support Group

Meet with like-minded people to share struggles and sorrows, but also joys and successes. Each week I will talk about a small thing we can do to take care of ourselves. This is not a time for organizing or planning action. It is a time for taking care of ourselves and others so we can continue organizing and taking action.

Weekly meetings last about 2 hours and take place in area coffee shops, bars and libraries. Location, date and time changes from week to week. Come when you can. Email me to get on the weekly text reminder/details list.

Cost: free; donations to support the work welcome

Team Coaching

Bring me in to work with your organization, congregation or company. Working on the enneagram together can help teams of all sorts:

  • Build trust

  • Communicate better

  • Support fellow team members and members of the community

  • Reduce anxiety among team members and the people the team serves

  • Reduce toxic conflict and increase productive discussion over priorities and methods

Team sessions usually run 2 - 3 hours.

Cost: Pricing is based on multiple factors. Email me for a quote.

Club Talk

A casual, option for book clubs, knitting clubs, softball teams, whatever social group you have that has morphed into a political action group. I can come to your regular gathering and share some tools I use in my enneagram work, talk about the enneagram and take questions. Email me with questions or to schedule.

Cost: donation-based
