Ultimately, the Enneagram is a map for living into your Highest Self and your full potential, which requires an understanding and cultivation of these qualities.
Russ Hudson – The Enneagram of the Virtues
Explore the higher dimensions of your true nature through the empowering lens of the Enneagram and the Virtues.
Discover sacred teachings that allow you to manifest your deepest gifts.
Do you remember when you first figured out your Enneagram type and what a moment of revelation this was?
Understanding your core drives, challenges and motives through the lens of this multidimensional system is nothing short of a great “a-ha” moment for most of us.
Students of the Enneagram spend years (lifetimes!) exploring their type and diving deeper into its many unique expressions… yet, at a certain point, you may wonder, “What’s next?”
This moment is a turning point on your path of transformation…
Taking this next step ultimately leads you to your higher nature — the qualities that most embody your essence. These qualities connect to your heart and to the deepest level of the Enneagram, the Virtues.
The Virtues are an embodied expression of your true nature.
They are the foundation for a fully actualized life…
Qualities of the Awakened Heart
Though rarely taught publicly, the Virtues of the Enneagram are actually the core of the original, foundational teachings. Russ Hudson, co-founder of The Enneagram Institute, and one of the principal scholars and innovative thinkers in the Enneagram world today, calls the 9 Virtues “qualities of the awakened heart.”
Ultimately, the Enneagram is a map for living into your Highest Self and your full potential, which requires an understanding and cultivation of these qualities.
During the Enneagram of the Virtues, you’ll have 10 in-depth teachings from Russ to significantly expand your Enneagram knowledge and deepen your integrative practices.
Russ will guide you in transforming your passion (of your Enneagram type) into the highest expression of YOU — your core Virtue.
As you begin to actualize this Virtue, or heart quality, you become more capable of real intimacy, great acts of service, creativity, and loving presence.
The Virtues as Spiritual Alchemy
Working with the Virtues engages a kind of spiritual alchemy, in which the fixations and essence of each Enneagram type are transformed into these 9 heart qualities.
“In a real sense, working with the Virtues transforms the lead of our dense states of ego into the gold of compassion, love and truth,” Russ says.
“They direct us to notice the suffering in our hearts created by a deep disconnection from Source… and to see how again and again, as soon as we come home to ourselves and the living moment, our spirits can fully flower.”
For example, if you identify as a Type One, you yearn to be a force of good in the world, and to live a life of integrity and truth. Yet, anger and resentment towards the injustices and suffering in our world may prevent you from embodying the Virtue of Serenity. Being present to anger and cultivating inner serenity allows the Type One to share their gifts with a fully open heart.
For the Type Four, fixation on envy and “what’s missing,” disconnect one from the Higher Self and Source. Stormy emotions can keep the 4 out of balance and in a state discontentment. However, when Type Four can observe the core pattern with compassion and recognize the depth of their true suffering, the Virtue of Equanimity is born.
A Holistic and Multidimensional Path
While you may identify with a specific Enneagram type, the essential energies, and to some degree the passions of all 9 types, exist within everyone. As one of the world’s leading depth teachers, Russ focuses on the Enneagram as a holistic wisdom path.
According to this approach, each Enneagram type indicates a particular state of presence.
The Virtues represent a strength and fullness of heart, as distinguished the human tendency to get caught in endless reactivity or numbness. They serve as a foundation for the most rich and rewarding moments of our lives.
In actualizing not only our type’s Virtue but all nine, love becomes the organizing principle of your thoughts, decisions, relationships and communities.
Through opening you to the world of the virtues, Russ will share his latest insights on the relationship between type, instinct and centers and practical applications can further your personal growth and deep transformations in ALL areas of your life.
Whether you’re a therapist, coach, healer, health care professional, teacher, artist, spiritual director, politician or parent, you’ll emerge with a greater connection to your divine essence and your unique gifts as well as greater levels of acceptance, love and compassion for yourself and others.

The Origins of the Enneagram
Audio Teaching From Russ Hudson
The Enneagram symbol, and the ideas associated with it, do not have a clear and simple lineage. But the various perspectives on the human condition that the Enneagram work is based in have a long pedigree woven richly with the history of western religion, philosophy and science.
This talk will focus on the pivotal work of George Gurdjieff, and later of Oscar Ichazo, as well as the rich traditions that they were drawing upon. W’ll look at the actual meaning of the symbol, the sources of the typology and trace the work back through the Hermetic doctrines to Classical Greece and Egypt. In the end, we’re left with a dazzling sense of the depth of the roots of this system and the ancient quest for self knowledge.

What Creates Transformation: The Pragmatics of Change
Audio Dialogue With Russ Hudson and David Daniels
We have all developed and adopted particular styles of managing life, dealing with conflicts and difficulties. These patterns have been with us since early childhood and are not inherently wrong, they were adaptive strategies we used to survive and are very valuable. Transformation is really a process of finding a better balance in our styles of managing life. Listen in as Russ Hudson and David Daniels discuss their views and strategies on this topic.
David Daniels, MD is clinical professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford Medical School, a leading developer of the Enneagram system of nine personality styles, and co-author of the bestseller, The Essential Enneagram updated and revised with vital new material in 2009. He also co-developed the outstanding DVD, The Enneagram: Nine Paths to a Productive and Fulfilling Life and The Enneagram in the Workplace. In private practice for over 40 years, David also has taught the Enneagram system at Stanford, in the community and internationally for 22 years. Together with Helen Palmer (author, professor) he co-founded the Enneagram Studies in the Narrative Tradition (ESNT), The Enneagram Professional Training Program (EPTP) and was one of the founders of the International Enneagram Association (IEA).
