The Enneagram of Holy Ideas
An Immersion into NonDual States of Consciousness
Sept 8, 2026 - June 22, 2027
All meetings are on Zoom on Tuesdays 6:30 - 8:00 PM CST
This course will explore the “Holy Ideas,” which are the ways our mind/consciousness experiences Reality when we are free from our Fixations, stories, assumptions, and fears. The Holy Ideas are a direct experience of interior freedom in the Head Center, an inner Knowing that understands that All is One. The Holy Ideas bring us beyond our personality type and into an expanded state of Awareness.
This Work brings us into the spiritual dimensions of the Enneagram and helps us evolve our souls.
We will draw upon the teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff, A.H. Almaas, and Russ Hudson in our in-depth study and practice together as a community. We will use embodiment practices that open our Deeper Heart, as well as imagery, poetry, and music to tap into our Higher Mind. Almaas calls the Holy Ideas “psychocatalyzers,” meaning they initiate a new pathway or opening in our psyche.
Presence in the Head Center can seem like a mythological beast to most people: elusive, imaginary, and perhaps impossible. This course is designed to make the impossible possible. Yes, even for you.
Apply now by completing the “Readiness Assessment Survey.”

Who is this Course for?
This is an advanced course, and not for beginners to the Enneagram. This course is unapologetically spiritual, but not religious. Anyone of any religion or denomination (or none) is welcome. You are free to translate “God-language” in any way that feels true to you.
This course is for people who already know their Enneagram Type and have been working intensively with the Enneagram (in community, with an IEA accredited teacher or teachers) for at least two years.
If you do not meet these qualifications, please consider joining my “Journeying With the Enneagram” Course.
Apply Before the August 20 deadline
The first step is to fill out this Readiness Assessment Survey to determine if this course is a good fit for you at this time. You may be referred to another course or resource.
If you are still feeling called to this course at the end of the Assessment, please schedule a 20 minute Zoom call with me to discuss your responses, and any concerns or questions you have. (Past students from DWE or 3LW can skip this step).
Take time after our call to discern if this is a good fit for you at this time. If we both determine you are a good fit for this course, you will be invited to join!
