As human being we have predictable
responses to life and its' stressors. Within our
thoughts, feelings and actions there are broader
emotional, thought, and instinctual patterns at play
which are very unconscious.
In the Enneagram, these emotional patterns are known
as Emotional Passions or "vices".
The Enneagram framework when used as a model for
personal growth paints the story of nine typologies
moving from vice to virtue, or, from who someone is
not (their personality) to who they actually are, but
never felt safe to live out of (their essence). It's a lot to
comprehend, we know!
So let's take small bites. Above are the nine types and
you will see attached each emotional passion and each
virtue.
Ask yourself: where do I see my types emotional
passion at play? Have their been times when you have
tasted the virtue of your Ennea-type? If so, what were
the circumstances?
Keep reflecting & studying the Enneagram.

Sway Leadership is hosting a 9-part series to explore the variations of thinking, feeling, and doing according to Enneagram theory and even more specifically, the subtypes. This company uses both curiosity and the nine shapes as visual aids in their Enneagram presentations.
Scott Allender and Ashlee Sikorski, authors of the Enneaflip and Certified Enneagram practitioners will be facilitating all nine of this Enneagram Sway Series.
During these sessions, they will go over:
The genius or superpower of the Enneagram Type
The emotional passion, core fear, and virtue of each of the 9 Enneagram types
The 3 instincts and the 3 subtypes in each of the 9 Enneagram types
There will be a panel interview to hear from people who identify with being dominant in each of the core Enneagram types
“As practitioners we see a lot of folks using the Enneagram without engaging with the instincts and that may be hindering their growth path. We know that exponential development happens when we understand our type’s at an instinctual level and we want to give you the tools and knowledge to understand the complexities of the Enneagram framework. We hope you join us for these events!”
If you want to interact with the Enneagram with both curiosity and at a human level, these virtual, free events are for you
