The Living Enneagram – Jessica Dibb
Immerse yourself in the guiding wisdom of the Enneagram — to radically transform self-limiting patterns and heal core wounds.
Embody the essential qualities of your type (and the other 8 types) in your spiritual practice, life purpose, and relationships.
For instance, if you’re a Type 4, you’ve discovered that your tendency to look for “what’s missing” in relationships keeps you from being truly intimate.
Or, if you’re a Type 6, you know that your fear can be paralyzing, or cause you to overact.
If you identify with Type 9, you may tend to avoid conflict with others or “numb out” with food and TV — or by fantasizing that all is well with you (when it’s not!).
Of course, you may also have had a taste of the gifts of working with your type… awakening to the healthy or higher aspects of your Enneagram point such as love, authenticity, power, equanimity, or clarity.
Yet, there’s a much deeper path ahead… to your very essence, calling, and fulfilling a life of meaning and purpose.
The Enneagram illuminates nine ways we leave presence, nine ways we forget who we really are — and nine direct pathways for re-awakening to your essential nature.
The Enneagram is not only a map of your own type’s fears and fixations, shadow aspects, and gifts… it’s also a dynamic guide for realizing your full human potential, beyond the boundaries of a single type.
With the right teacher who can create a safe space for you to work deeply, you can access and embody the life-changing essential qualities (even world-changing) of your type and the other 8 types…
Respected for her experiential “depth” approach, renowned Enneagram teacher Jessica Dibb has crafted The Living Enneagram to help you relinquish the ego’s limiting patterns, heal core wounds, and embody essence — in your spiritual practice, your work in the world, and your relationships.
From Ego to Essence
The Living Enneagram is your opportunity to dissolve wounds that drive an emotional wedge between you and others… and separate you from your authentic Self.
This illusion of separation generates fear, causing pain and conflict in our relationships and communities, and creates larger divisions out in the world.
Over the past 25 years, Jessica Dibb has developed a process called “The Ego Project to Essence Project.” The Living Enneagram introduces this profound endeavor, for those who wish to explore the original purpose of the Enneagram: remembering the true Self, experiencing the totality of actualized human development, and awakening to the Divine.
In a challenging setting of dedicated seekers, you’ll be supported in working with the physical, cognitive, and emotional defenses and behaviors that can conceal Essence. As these obstructions fall away, the defenses of your personality dissolve, and the instincts of your ego loosen their hold — allowing you to abide in a loving, wise consciousness — the very essence of being.
Through 12 depth sessions with Jessica, you’ll discover:
- Key aspects to developing a personalized Ego to Essence Project for each type or realm of consciousness
- The core wound and Shadow as well as unconscious fears and pain-driven responses of each type
- Somatic blockages, openings, and practices for experiencing Essence
- A breathing style for each of the 9 realms which restores the brain and self to Essence and awakening
- Rewiring neural pathways from our history to the present to receive the authentic and healthy energy and behaviors of that realm
- Opening to the eros energy of that realm
- Specific projections and resistances to releasing projections to other types and how to release them, transforming and embracing a re-constellated way of being in relationship
- Specific spiritual practices for each type’s awakening journey
- The archetypal purpose of each realm for all of us — what it invites us all to remember
- The part of the human psyche and experience that this type is carrying for all of us
- Ways to use your natural gifts in vocation and service
- Examples of fruitful and successful Ego to Essence Projects of each type
- An aspect of the Divine and an example of mystical experiences at each Enneagram point
- What each Enneagram point realm can contribute to a shift in global consciousness
Plus you’ll discover the transformative power of conscious breathing, working with your type and the other types’ shadow aspects, Enneagram type-specific movements, meditation, and other practices — all designed to help you integrate the changes you experience, into your full being.

Module 1: Entering the Field of Awakening & Essence
Welcome to the Field of Awakening! Here, we’ll build shared understanding of the landscape of nourishing, growing, and flowering ourselves, others, and the world. A community of inspiration, caring, and wisdom will be formed through exercises and sharing.
We’ll explore the general concepts, practices, and visions of the journey, such as:
- A depth interpretation of a core wound and how it creates suffering, reactive ego, and Shadow
- How and why the core wound is differentiated in each Enneagram type
- The 9 essential Qualities
- How we’ll be using understandings of core wound, ego, personality, fixation, integration, the 3 Centers, the Wings, inner work, presence, the Instincts, the Virtues, the Holy Ideas, Dynamism, the Missing Piece, the Transparent Veil, and Essence
- A non-egoic way to understand the Gift of each Enneagram type
- What is the Ego Project to Essence Project? The great work which goes against one’s nature, Carl Jung’s opus contra naturam
- What the Enneagram teaches us about the relational field, relationships, and relatedness, eros, and the 9 aspects of authentic love
- Physical embodiment of states of consciousness and cellular transformation — how the Enneagram can help us build a REAL body/vehicle of light and energy
- Aspects of vocation and purpose from the Enneagram
- Understanding and contacting the 9 Aspects of the Divine — towards a boundless, creative spirituality
- How the Enneagram can contribute to being a 21st century global citizen and developing the capacity to help shift global consciousness
Module 2: As Above, So Below
Our Instincts Arise From the Divine
Everything that we are, even what seems like the most base instincts, is reflecting and emanating from the fundamental frequency that moves and creates all things.
Becoming present with all aspects of ourselves, including our instinctual drives, allows us to harness the full power and intelligence of what we truly are — and to build a structure for higher consciousness within our body, heart and mind so that Essence can flow unimpeded through every aspect of our lives.
In this second module, we’ll explicate and do inner work and somatic work with the Shadow and the higher aspect of the instinctual drives, using a methodology of unconscious instinct/healthy instinct/illuminated or awakened instinct.
A new practice will be introduced of consciously using all three instincts together to create new neurological circuits for integrated choices and actions.
In this session, you’ll discover and practice:
- The awakened self-preservation instinct — the path from the drive to survive to the commitments to self-care of ourselves and our lives as sacred
- Blind spots and inertia of self-preservation instinct
- The awakened sexual instinct — the path from the drive to merge and assimilate to developing unimpeded attunement and dedication to what really matters and what generates emergence
- Blind spots and resistance of the sexual instinct
- The awakened social instinct — the path from the drive to be protected and belong to the developing stewardship and responsiveness to ALL
- Blind spots and distortions of the social instinct
- An emerging feminine and right brain perspective and orientation to the instincts that brings in new possibilities for the transformation
Modules 3-11 (Overview): The 9 Pathways From Shadow to Essence
In the following nine modules, you’ll explore each Enneagram domain — from Shadow to Essence — physically, emotionally, cognitively, and energetically.
This perspective will inform and enrich the “three-centered” practices that allow you to be fully present to, and work with, the pathway of each type.
You’ll also discover how to access memories stored in neural pathways related to each type, and liberate your attention to, and investment in, the fixations of each type so you can access and experience the unconditioned Self and Essence.
You’ll learn how to awaken to the qualities of your own biology, psyche, and energetic field — AND learn how to play, work, be intimate with, and support the awakening of others.
Working with the Gifts and Shadows of each domain is essential to your awakening, liberation, empowerment, and manifestation of a fulfilled life.
In each of the following nine modules, you’ll discover and practice each type’s:
- Core wound and Shadow
- Unconscious fear and pain-driven responses
- Somatic blockages, openings, and practices for experiencing Essence
- A breathing style that restores the brain and self to that Essence and awakening
- Rewiring neural pathways from our history to the present to receive the authentic and healthy energy and behaviors of that realm
- Opening to the eros energy of that type
- What are the projections and resistances to releasing projections to other types and how to release them, transforming and embracing a re-constellated way of being in relationship
- Specific spiritual practices for this type’s awakening journey
- The archetypal purpose of this type for all of us — what it invites us all to remember
- The part of the human psyche and experience that this type is carrying for all of us
- Ways to use your natural gifts in vocation and service

There’s an inherent potential nobility to each moment, a doorway to goodness and the Sacred. It opens us to a sense of blessing and taking action on behalf of it.

This responsiveness is boundless throughout an infinite universe. This is the Essence quality that the Two domain embodies, loves, and contributes.
In this highly experiential journey from the Ego to Essence Project, we learn to both hold and love Twos in their fierce denial of in-body power, AND stretch ourselves to cultivate a deep caring and willingness to support every little blade of grass, every creature, and every atom of reality, even if our hearts break into a million pieces.

Module 9: Living as Clear Truth & Knowing
The Essence of Type 5 (June 28)
Even without our effort, Life is paying attention to everything, to itself. Life is not random, there is an inherent and infinitely dimensional intelligence and awakeness as each moment unfolds from and responds to the next. We can sense the vividness and suchness of everything when we are fully present.
It’s awesome to be in perpetual discovery, and it’s boundless, this seeing, clarity, and attention throughout an infinite universe. This is the Essence quality that the Five domain embodies, loves, and contributes.
In this highly experiential journey from the Ego to Essence Project, we’ll both learn to hold and love Fives in their terror, AND stretch ourselves to cultivate a deep curiosity and awareness for everything in existence, the light, the dark, the known, the unknown — and not settle for less.

Module 10: Living as Grounded Faith & Guidance
The Essence of Type 6 (July 5)
Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me. — Albert Schweitzer
Existence has an endless capacity, a grounding force, that keeps recentering, stabilizing, reforming, and building — a steadying presence. We can sense the connectedness of everything in that grounding. And it’s boundless, this communication amongst everything as to how to move, be, and dance with each other and everything throughout an infinite universe. This is the Essence quality that the Six domain embodies, loves, and contributes.
In this highly experiential journey from the Ego to Essence Project, we’ll both learn to hold and love Sixes in their anxiety, AND stretch ourselves to cultivate a deep listening to all things so that the truth becomes a collective truth, and faith in possibilities for the highest good — and not settle for less.

Each moment, no matter what’s happening, is infused with celebration, joy, and possibility, without our effort.

This is the Essence quality that the Seven domain embodies, loves, and contributes.
In this highly experiential journey from the Ego to Essence Project, we’ll both learn to hold and love Sevens in their franticness and fear of limited life, AND stretch ourselves to cultivate the capacity to see “the infinite in a grain of sand,” to experience the joy of just being alive for no reason, to carry this positivity into everything we do — and not settle for less. This is what Sevens want from us. Life loves this, Sevens love this, and our real selves love this.

A Conversation on Consciousness by Candlelight
Video Dialogue With Jessica Dibb and Russ Hudson
In this special bonus, Russ and Jessica will co-create live a conversation on consciousness in the moment to inspire you to have Essence conversations, and thereby become more porous to real insight, and more of a vehicle for emergent wisdom, creativity, and love to flow into life.

And they’ve done their best to teach from whatever is arising in each of them and their individual journeys, in the conversation between them, in the field of relatedness with themselves and all their Beloveds, and in the culture. They challenge each other to keep the conversation embodied, connected, clear, real, nuanced, unified, surrendered, and completely emergent in the moment — nothing canned or cliched from the past.
