Robin Camu - The Enneagram

This week Robin Camu spoke to us about the Enneagram.

She is also certified by the Narrative Tradition (David Daniels and Helen Palmer) to teach the Enneagram. She is experienced both as a leader of small groups and as a seminar speaker.

In a nutshell, the Enneagram is a model of human personality containing nine interconnected personality types. The Enneagram provides a dynamic framework that helps explains how you act, react, feel, think, and navigate through countless scenarios in life. It provides self-understanding at a level far deeper than that offered by other similar systems. 
Robin provided a test for us to determine our enneagram types, which can be taken here.

Based on your test results, you are given an enneagram number type from 1-9. There is no ranking system and no type is better than another. Each type has certain desires, fears, and sufferings/sins that drive them. The 9 Types are also further divided into 3 triads that are hyperfocused on one of three emotions: Fear, Anger, and Shame. The Fear triad is also called the “thinking” triad, Anger is “instinctual” (or, “gut”), and Shame is “feeling.”

Robin also recommended the book, "The Enneagram: A Christian Perspective" which is what she used to tie the enneagram to Christian truths. If you would like to discuss your enneagram type further, Robin is available for a counseling session.
