About the Enneagram
The Enneagram is a powerful tool that helps us wake up to who we really are, expanding the possibilities and joy that life has to offer.
We go through much of life on autopilot, driven by habitual patterns of navigating the world that keep us asleep to our true nature. These habitual patterns at times have kept us safe, but they can also keep us stuck and bring with them unnecessary suffering.
The Enneagram helps us to awaken from this sleep by first bringing attention to who we think we are and what our habitual patterns are. We meet this self-protective persona, which formed to protect from pain but also gets in the way of experiencing the best parts of life, like joy, peace, and love. In this trance of personality, we don’t really know who we are and what’s truly possible for us.
By getting more conscious to our habitual patterns and our shadow, we can connect to the true essence of who we are and the transformative potential that brings.
Finding our enneagram type doesn’t put us in a box. It reveals the box we are already trapped in so we can free ourselves. This opens up a world beyond what we thought was possible before, and gives us choices we didn’t even know we had.
About Sophia
Sophia Carmien is an enneagram teacher and coach. She has been immersed in learning and growing through the enneagram for many years, and experienced life changing transformation first hand.
In 2016, Sophia was living a life she hated, but doubted anything could change that. Enter the Enneagram. She learned to see the patterns she was living out that were co-creating misery. She learned how to interrupt those patterns and find new approaches to life. She learned to connect to her true self, the part of her that knew what she needed and gave her the will to make those changes. Years later, her life has completely shifted, now full of joy, vitality, possibilities, and purpose. She wants to share the power of transformation with others who want to walk this path.
