We all experience emotions differently and have our own lessons to learn along the way. Here are some snapshots of wisdom for each type in relation to emotions that can help us develop greater awareness and the capacity for growth:

1- Serenity comes from being at ease with imperfection, letting go of judgments and accepting things the way they are.
2- Joy can be found in others’ well-being and happiness, separate from what we do for them.
3- Love comes from being as well as from doing.
4- Cultivating the happiness of others helps us overcome envy and longing.
5- Generosity includes receiving as well as giving.
6- Courage is not the absence of fear; it is moving ahead in spite of it.
7- Uncomfortable or “negative” emotions are an integral, valuable and unavoidable part of being human.
8- Vulnerability is not the same as weakness.
9- Self-worth is self-defined; it comes from within.

Do these affirmations resonate with you? If yes, how so?

Join us for our Third Thursday Gathering when guest panelists share how their one-to-one instinct – which governs sexuality, our needs for intimacy and close friendships, and the vitality of our life force – shows up in relationships.

Details & registration: https://www.narrativeenneagram.org/programs/community-gathering-one-to-one-subtypes-in-relationships/

While all three basic instincts – self-preservation, one-to-one, and social – are present in everyone, one tends to be more central in our daily lives and relationships. This dominant instinct can explain much of the variation among people of the same type.

During the 90-minute gathering on Zoom, representatives with a predominant one-to-one subtype will share:
• The gifts and challenges of their instinctive subtype in relationships
• How an understanding of their Enneagram subtype helps them navigate and strengthen relationships with their loved ones and co-workers
• What kinds of misunderstandings or conflicts show up when engaging with others with different predominant instincts

A free benefit to all Narrative Enneagram members, our monthly community gatherings hosted by Evangeline Welch offer a meaningful experience of learning, practice, and engaging conversations. Become a member for $75 to attend all year and enjoy other member benefits like program discounts, Enneagram resources, and our online community to connect with other Enneagram enthusiasts.

Please note that our June gathering will begin at 4 pm PT instead of the usual 10 am PT start time, and will run 90 minutes instead of the typical hour.

7- Join them in having fun and envisioning new possibilities.
6- Appreciate their attention to problems; agree on rules and procedures.

Starts June 11! ✨🫂📚️

Join co-author Suzanne Dion to explore the question: What tears our relationships apart and how can the Enneagram bring us back together? You’ll gain practical insights applicable to your own life or to use in work with clients.

Details & registration: https://www.narrativeenneagram.org/programs/book-study-the-enneagram-relationships-and-intimacy/

Co-authored by Narrative Enneagram co-founder David Daniels, M.D. and Certified Enneagram Teacher Suzanne Dion, The Enneagram, Relationships, and Intimacy conveys David’s lasting vision of a more loving world that begins with deeply loving human beings in loving relationships with one another.

David said, “In all my years of practice, nothing has come close to the Enneagram of Personality in saving, healing, and developing relationships.” You’ll learn how our Enneagram type and subtype impacts relationships along with practical guidance on core topics from David’s years of heartfelt experience to loving better and living more fully.

During this 6-session book study, we will:

• Gain insights into the nine Enneagram types and sexuality—nine ways we either diminish or enhance intimacy and fulfillment
• Discover the construction of the defense system, its protective purpose, and how it separates us from love
• Apply the 6As of the Transformational Growth process to relationships: Awareness, Allowing Acceptance, Appreciation, Action, and Adherence

05/25/2026

Life Lessons for the 9 Types:

1- To change what can be changed, to accept what cannot be changed, and to develop the wisdom to know the difference

2- To develop the humility that comes from allowing yourself to be loved without being needed and to have needs of your own

3- To reclaim the truth that love comes to you because of who you are, not because of what you do

4- To reclaim wholeness in the present moment by appreciating what is here and now, and accepting yourself as you are

5- To reconnect to the vitality of your life force and your heartfelt feelings, realizing that ample energy and resources are available

6- To reclaim trust in yourself, others, and the world while living comfortably with uncertainty

7- To reclaim and accept all of life, the pleasures and the pains, in the present moment

8- To harness the life force in productive ways, integrating self-assertion with vulnerability

9- To reclaim yourself and wake up to personal priorities
