Applying the Enneagram

“Living the Wisdom” (LTW) is designed to provide two main things:

1) A practical and accessible Enneagram education that you can apply in real time to your own life. We facilitate learning through a chapter-by-chapter curriculum, with plenty of time for questions and sharing (see below for all of the topics we cover). The course takes advantage of “scaffolded learning” where we revisit the previous week’s topic before moving to the next.

2) A safe and supportive Inner Work Community. We have a saying in the Enneagram world that “It’s not just hard to this work alone; it’s impossible.” With regular Tuesday calls, weekly self-observation invitations, and three coaching sessions, the Course provides a grounding touchstone to support you in whatever challenges and breakthroughs are happening in your life. One of the best parts of LTW is the opportunity to spark long term friendships with fellow “essence friends”!

In addition, as an IEA accredited training program, LTW provides 50 hours of accredited Enneagram training, which you can use towards your own accreditation. If you have any interest in becoming an Enneagram teacher, let me know in the Readiness Assessment.

 

Testimonial from Kerry Mackenzie, LTW March 2024

“Living the Wisdom has been a life changing experience for me. I went into it skeptical of the Enneagram and what it was, but I saw that my wife was more present and at peace from learning about it.  So I decided to give it a try. I am so happy I did. I have a better understanding of myself, a greater acceptance of myself and of others. I have found LTW to be an important link in applying the insights of therapy towards living in the real world with real people. Therapy is great for understanding where your issues come from but LTW gives you tools for managing them in life. Ben was an outstanding teacher, providing a safe haven to explore and share. He was able to make the Enneagram understandable and relatable with ease. I look forward to studying with him in the future.”

Compassionate Pricing

The standard fee for a semester of enrollment in LTW is $1550 for the 2024 season. However, everybody’s financial situation is different, and I want to be considerate of that, so I do offer a limited number of scholarships. If you feel that LTW is the perfect fit for you, but the fee is an obstacle, email me at ben@wildenneagram.com and we may be able to work out a negotiated rate. You can also indicate this in the Readiness Assessment.

On the other hand, if you are in the fortunate situation where money is not a major issue, please consider making a contribution to the scholarship fund so that I am able to accept more students at a reduced rate.

Applications are open for the next cohort beginning Tuesday, February 25th, 2025.

Former students on “Living the Wisdom”

  • "My understanding and compassion toward myself and others has increased in unexpectedly wonderful ways during these last five months. People in our class ranged from the teens to the 70's and all were excited about the new things they were learning."

    ~Kathy J

  • "Ben is an astute teacher and communicator, models the way of being mindful and growing, and established a group environment which was both safe and motivating. I am very thankful to have taken the course and am looking forward to the next semester."

    ~Garth J

  • “My first five months with Ben and this cohort of incredible humans has done more for my mental health than years of traditional therapy. I have a deeper understanding of my closest friends and family, and a newfound confidence in myself. I can't wait for the next semester!"
