WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE A REFORMER?

"And that's where the Enneagram is fascinating, and has real complexity to it, because a lot of what it's about is our core motivations... what goes on deep within us, what drives us on a day to day, what gets us out of bed in the morning, what are we working for in the big picture; how that works in the world looks so different for every person..."

At Leeds Sanctuary, we run popular Retreat Days and a Book Club all about The Enneagram - an ancient personality typing tool which many people still find helpful and relevant today! In this podcast series, join Emily and Anna as they discuss the strengths and challenges of each Enneagram type, their core motivations and fears, defence mechanisms, and tips for being emotionally healthy over stressed and burnt out. This episode focuses on Enneagram Type One, "The Reformer". Let us know if anything you hear resonates with you!
