Russ Hudson & Jessica Dibb – Mastering The Foundations Of The Enneagram 2022
Immerse yourself into the tools that will help you experience awareness from a non-fixated point of view, and awaken into higher consciousness.
Why Now?
If you’re reading this, perhaps you’ve already experienced how powerful and helpful the Enneagram system can be — even if you’ve only recently developed a curiosity about the teachings. You may have done some studies and read a few of the many books on the subject. Maybe you’ve even done some training but know there’s so much more to this amazing work.
On a global scale, it’s apparent that the world is in need of a collective leap in consciousness. It’s clear that the “solutions” we’re using to address national and global problems aren’t working. To create significant and sustainable change — to help us get through our collective traumas — we have to move into the cave of our own wounds and do the necessary repair work.
G.I. Gurdjieff, the man who brought the Enneagram symbol to the West, stated that its wisdom appears in the world in just such times — when a leap in spiritual consciousness is required.
Has there ever before been a more urgent time for this work?
Why Is the Enneagram Such a Potent Path for Growth?
The Enneagram’s ancient wisdom gives you a map for discovering and empowering your human purpose and possibility… and lays out a modern-day, personalized path to wholeness.
While this tool for transformation illuminates your gifts and provides a framework for our personal and spiritual evolution, it also reveals how we’re often held back by the shadow side of our personality — our own deeply rooted, unconscious patterns that are hard to see.
The Enneagram helps us dig deep into understanding our own type, and the emotional patterns that have structured (and often restricted) our lives for so long. It offers us a compassionate and objective way of holding our fears and defensive behaviors.
When we learn to meet our old, fixated patterns with understanding and kindness, our life force can be liberated to nourish the true potential of our body, heart, and mind.
The Enneagram’s insights can shed light on what may be preventing us from living harmoniously with our loved ones.
It’s a window into understanding the triggers and difficult behaviors of others, as well as ways we may be projecting our own shadow onto someone else.
It can help us cultivate a deeper sense of compassion for those around us — and for ourselves — by observing who we truly are, embracing our fears and disowned shadow side… and becoming empowered to create healthy, stable, loving relationships as we reach our own highest potential.
However, to truly benefit from the Enneagram technology in the deepest possible way, it’s important to know that our type is actually our camouflage.
The Enneagram wasn’t designed to lock us in boxes. Rather, it’s about interrelationship and development… and the relationship between our ego (or personality) and what we are as true presence, as essence.
The 9-module Mastering the Foundations of The Enneagram is designed to bring out your authentic self… without your camouflage.
During this soul-expanding course with Russ & Jessica, you’ll:
- Gain a solid understanding of the difference between personality and essence
- Dive deep into definitions of key terms and concepts, such as core suffering, passion, shadow, fixation, essence, virtues, and holy ideas
- Explore a body of practices you can use on a daily basis
- Gain a strong, unshakeable understanding and experience of the centers
- Explore and experience the concepts of balance, imbalance, dominance, and distortion of the centers
- Experience the gifts of being present with the centers on the path — grounding, kindness, and curiosity
- What You’ll Discover in These 9 Modules
- In this 9-module transformational intensive, Russ and Jessica will guide you through the foundations of the Enneagram and prepare you to start consciously creating an Enneagram-informed life to come into harmony with self and others.
This course will feature teachings, training sessions, and experiential practices with Russ and Jessica.

About the Faculty
Russ Hudson
Russ Hudson has established himself over the last three decades as one of the top teachers and developers of the Enneagram personality typology in the world today. Actively involved in the Enneagram community, Russ is the co-founder of the Enneagram Institute and President Emeritus as well as a Founding Director and former Vice-President of the International Enneagram Association, a global organization advancing knowledge of the subject. He has been writing and teaching full time with The Enneagram Institute as well as on his own since 1991.
He’s co-authored with Don Richard Riso five bestselling books on the subject, including The Wisdom of the Enneagram and Personality Types. These books are widely considered to be not only groundbreaking contributions in the field of Enneagram studies, but also important contributions to the literature of psychological type. The pair developed a scientifically validated test instrument, the Riso-Hudson Type Indicator (RHETI), now considered a standard test in the Enneagram field. The RHETI has been used by numerous Fortune 500 companies.
Russ has a solid background in science as well as in studies of philosophy and religion and has approached his work with the Enneagram holding both perspectives. He originally encountered the Enneagram through the Gurdjieff Work and sees it as a map for personal development and awareness more than as merely a system for categorizing people. He has emphasized the importance of cultivating presence and mindfulness as a foundation for authentic work with the Enneagram, and has worked to align the study of the Enneagram and spiritual practice and bring their mutual benefit into greater public awareness.
He has appeared on Good Morning America, and The CBS Morning Show, as well as on several dozen radio and television shows as an expert on personality type. He has become a popular speaker at conferences and retreat centers around the world, including the Esalen Institute, the Wisdom 2.0 Conference, and the Science and Non-Duality Conference (SAND).
