Most of the offerings here were completely new to me, and yet everything was presented with simplicity and clarity so that I was able to grasp very much in a short space of time. Amazing!

I thoroughly enjoyed it and can very much relate to the process. It is not easy to not run on automatic but as a person with a six pattern, I notice that as I stay with uncertainty and angst, it transmutes. I'm very thankful to be on this journey and value your work. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to learn and to grow.

This material gives me a fuller idea of the depth and nuances of the process enneagram, to the extent that I feel intimidated and overwhelmed by it all. It's fascinating to consider but there is no way I could practically apply any of this on my own, to assess when and how I am running sleep or waking process at any given moment or to actively and strategically attempt to use this info to develop a waking up course of endeavor. I would absolutely need the support of a teacher such as yourself to make use of this. Or at least an intensive workshop. So I feel kind of stuck in just ruminating on all the personality enneagram self-diagnostic wisdom without knowing how to use it for growth. Your chart depicting the sleeping/waking processes of my type 4 is distressingly accurate and so bringing compassionate mindful awareness to it all is a challenge since it gets automatically snatched up as ammo for self-attacks by my inner judge. A whole lot of sound insight to consider in this course. The only things I couldn't relate with were the meal planning and bean growth analogies which seemed very contrived and ill-fitting to my mind (esp. the meal planning process chart).

Brilliant!! I've never seen all the pieces put together in such a usable way. Loved the emphasis on how to use the Enneagram information for waking up, rather than just focusing on the fixation of the points. I'm a 6 type, so this was especially useful for me as your personal examples resonated very closely with my experiences. Kind regards, Jan from Australia
