By Beatrice Chestnut It’s a time of upheaval on multiple fronts. It’s as if the thin veneer of falseness that has been covering over the truth of the worst of us for some time now is being stripped away. It’s been called a post-truth world…

Spotting the Enneagram Passions

May 28, 2020

By Uranio Paes Self-observation is one of the most important competencies to be developed in inner work. “Self-observing” implies being able to witness what is going on inside yourself with acceptance, non-judgment, and relaxation, rather than staying asleep to your inner experience or analyzing and…

WHAT WE DO

Chestnut Paes Enneagram Academy supports people in using the Enneagram system of personality types to achieve significant progress in their personal and professional growth.

At CP Enneagram Academy, we use the Enneagram to help individuals reach their highest potential. We assist people in creating positive change on two fronts:

“inner transformation,”–providing opportunities for meaningful and sustainable psycho-spiritual evolution; and
“outer impact“–helping Enneagram practitioners’ sharpen their knowledge and skills in working with the system to help them transform others and the world.

Dedicated to using the most up-to-date and effective Enneagram theory and practices, the team behind CP Enneagram Academy has created a modern Enneagram school in which people can increase their self-awareness and empathy for others.

STORIES FROM THE ACADEMY

The work that Bea and Uranio do is unlike any other enneagram experience I have ever had. It is an amazing thing to do this work together as a community. I am stunned by the level of personal growth I experienced following the last retreat and look forward to the next.

Student

For many years I have been looking for a process, a program, and a teacher that could more deeply open the transformational power of the Enneagram for me. I wanted to move beyond the Enneagram of Personality to an exploration of the deep liberating potential I knew was present in this amazingly sophisticated psycho/spiritual map. I feel so blessed and fortunate to have found this program, this process and these teachers in Uranio Paes and Bea Chestnut. I am so incredibly grateful.

Diane

This outstanding course is a must for coaches who are serious about using the Enneagram with their clients. Bea and Uranio provide wise and actionable insight into how coaches can best work with the head, body and heart types. Their deep knowledge and skill come through in every morsel of this training. If you are committed to coaching your clients through change and you use the Enneagram (as background or foreground), this is the program for you.
Cathy

Now doing the integration work between Retreat A and Retreat B has really been life-changing for me. It’s been probably the most meaningful six months of my life. I’m really excited to continue on with the work.
Dominique

I was relieved to find this program because it’s rooted in research… Other folks are kind of “one-offs” who maybe aren’t conscious of the fact that they are teaching things the wrong way, and I had to relearn somethings because of that and it makes me all the more grateful that I am part of this community.
Grace

This feels very professional to me…I knew I was coming to some really good, deep spiritual teachers, but it’s been really intellectual…A lot of listening, a lot of note-taking, and just sitting up straight and paying attention to this, because this is important.
Jody

There are levels to this that you aren’t taught on a website, levels that you aren’t taught by I would say, 95% of teachers out there. And so it’s transformational work. This week has challenged me in a lot of different ways.
