About ~ Session 2 of 3:
Soulmates & Spiritual Contracts: Enneagram Defense Mechanisms
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is what they tell us, but rooted in the Enneagram lies the deepest paradox of personality: that our greatest gift eventually becomes our Achilles' heel. The defense mechanisms are maladaptive survival strategies we learned in childhood. These are the Stop Signs, Danger Signals, & roadblocks that come up unexpectedly when we try to navigate our important relationships.
The goal of this session is to identify the energetic signature of these barriers for each Ennea-type and “treat” them with gentle loving-kindness and compassion. Helen Palmer, founder of the Narrative Enneagram tradition, says, “relax your passions, and your virtues will rise up.” We are here for a purpose: we were made to love!
In this session, Cayenna will map out the energetic Defence Mechanisms of each Ennea-type, and teach participants practices such as transtemporal healing and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to heal our wounded inner child and ease our aching hearts. We begin to love and heal ourselves so that we may love and heal each other.
**Session 1 is not a prerequisite**
For the best experience, all participants should try to identify their Ennea-type before class.

Avoid free Enneagram tests & AI-generated content because they’re inaccurate.
Cayenna will assist with finding your Ennea-type. Trust your own authority!
About the Enneagram 3 Part Series
The Enneagram is a powerful personality tool to understand how to honor your gifts, show up with compassion & presence in your relationships, and grow into the most powerful, co-creative version of you.
The Enneagram is sacred geometry. It is intuitive & all the wisdom is alive inside you!
There are 9 basic personality archetypes in the Enneagram with layers upon layers of patterns and deeper wisdom. Cayenna facilitates the Enneagram in the Narrative Tradition. Participants learn through demonstration, interaction, and discussion.
During these sessions, Cayenna will teach you to use the Enneagram as a tool to identify your authentic voice, show up authentically in your relationships, heal your family culture, and be more compassionate in the workplace.

Cayenna has been teaching the Enneagram since 2014 and is currently mapping the Enneagram against Astrology, Human Design, and the Gene Keys. Cayenna is married with 2 teenage boys & a big black dog, works in refugee resettlement by day, & is currently in month 8 of an 18-month Gene Keys retreat.
