ABOUT THE ACADEMY

 

The Chestnut Paes Enneagram Academy was founded by Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes to provide high-quality and structured paths of development for people interested in using the Enneagram model to further their personal and professional lives. We make the Enneagram system comprehensible and enable its personal and professional use while drawing on its power and complexity. We provide Enneagram trainings and retreats in which people apply the Enneagram to deepen their inner growth efforts and enhance their expertise in delivering effective interventions using the system with clients and students. We are creating a supportive community in which you can grow in relationship with others who are also seeking to learn new skills and develop a greater capacity to reach their goals and manifest their maximum potential. 

 

A regular schedule of live programs is offered in the United States, United Kingdom, Brazil, Egypt, and China. Courses are also offered in Italy, South Africa, Sweden, Thailand, when possible.

 
 

CUTTING-EDGE, YET ANCHORED IN TRADITION.

Our work is based on the most current, high-quality understanding of the Enneagram, while also honoring the root teachings of the most authoritative developers of the system. With a rigorous, academic approach, we build on the works of seminal thought leaders in the field.

 
 

COMPREHENSIVE, YET INDIVIDUALIZED.

We teach the Enneagram map and a wide range of psycho-spiritual insights about what it takes to grow, while also focusing on individuals’ specific needs. We include all aspects of the Enneagram typology while making sure participants identify and work on the core issues that are limiting their growth.

 
 
 

SUPPORTIVE, YET CHALLENGING.

We create a strong container of support for the often challenging work of personal growth. We believe that sincere students of the Enneagram need to confront their egos so they can make real progress in their growth while understanding that students need an empathic and loving holding environment in which to take risks.
