what is inner child enneagram?

The

The Enneagram is an ancient tradition and spiritual tool that remains relevant today for personal and interpersonal development. By exploring vices and virtues, students of the Enneagram learn the paths of integration or growth versus disintegration or struggle. This introspective approach involves understanding one's focus of attention, motivations, core beliefs, coping strategies, and developmental path.

inner child enneagram™ is a foundational principle aiding in the understanding of the Enneagram by design. By delving into ICE™, individuals can uncover their true essence.

how it began

My introduction to the Enneagram came through Helen Palmer’s book, "The Enneagram: Exploring the Nine Psychological Types and Their Inter-Relationships in Love and Life." Shortly after, I attended a class on spiritual tools, marking the start of my Enneagram journey. Over 35+ years, I developed the Inner Child Enneagram™ theory, which posits that each person has an original Enneagram purpose, revealing our intrinsic capacity for growth and inherent perfection.

Unlike contemporary approaches, my method is holistic. My aim is to demonstrate that the Enneagram is more than just a personality test. I introduce unique concepts such as The holistic enneagram, Bounce Back, The Loop, The Springboard, and most importantly, the inner child enneagram.

I invite you to join me on this journey of self-discovery to uncover who you were born to be.

a note to my fellow christians, those of differing faith and those of no faith:

This work is my ministry. For years, I struggled to connect with God as a father figure, feeling disconnected and lost. One day, I prayed, "Dear God, I feel far away from you. Please show me how to connect. Please reveal to me what you would have me know."

Shortly after, God revealed that I had been seeking a connection with a father figure, something I struggled to relate to. All along, the Creator, the Healer, the Shepherd were present, seeking a connection with me.

God created my analytical mind, designed my soft heart, and knew the challenging path the world would present. In the most beautiful way, before I was even formed, He called me "Challenger."

My hope for you is that you reconnect with that divine inner child and remember who you are and were even before you were formed.
