What is the Enneagram?

Do Your Own Research - For centuries, the Enneagram was kept secret and passed down only as oral tradition. That changed in the early 1900’s, and over the last century knowledge and theories about the Enneagram have expanded dramatically. These days, it’s easy to do your own searching online, and find an Enneagram book and learn on your own. (As a part of her intro classes, Cheryl Fare provides a reading list with notes on a collection of books.)

Proceed with a healthy dose of caution! Online Enneagram tests are easy to find, even easier to take, provide quick answers, and often provide incorrect conclusions. Enneagram teacher Colleen Joy from the InnerLifeSkills training program puts the error rate for some online Enneagram tests as high as 60% - especially for some Enneagram types - 60%!! In order to avoid those potential pitfalls, contact Cheryl today about one-on-one Enneagram coaching sessions or group classes.

Testimonials
"Beginning my journey with the Enneagram with Cheryl has been so enlightening. To be honest, with all the self-healing work I've done, I didn't expect to learn so many new things about myself! But perhaps even more importantly than a self-awareness tool, this system opens up a whole world of knowledge regarding our interconnectedness with family, friends, co-workers, etc. It brings a depth of understanding to why we have an easy time with some people, and not with others, and practical ways to navigate our trickier relationships. Cheryl, as always, is incredibly professional...prepared, detailed, and concise in her teaching, making this extensive information manageable for her students. If you're looking for better connections with those around you, I can't recommend this class enough!"

"I took an Enneagram Class as part of a class in 2018, and was never sure if my type was correct, so I decided to take a class with Cheryl. Cheryl presented the materials in a way that I quickly figured out what my type is, but I also learned a lot that can help me in relating to others in my day-to-day life. I am fascinated with the Enneagram now and plan to take many more classes with Cheryl. Thank you, Cheryl!"
