The Enneagram & Conscious Communication
Do you feel like you expend a lot of energy trying to present yourself to people the way you’d like them to see you, instead of being who you really are?
Wouldn’t your life be easier, more relaxed, and in flow if you could be true to yourself and real with others, by letting go of the image you’re hoping to convey … and, instead, engage with people from a place of honesty and presence?
According to renowned Enneagram teachers Russ Hudson and Jessica Dibb, the Enneagram is a powerful tool that, when understood at its deepest level, can help you be truly present and engage with people (and your life) in an authentic way, and establish communication that’s conscious, responsive (rather than reactive), and profoundly loving and compassionate.
On Saturday, November 11, join Russ and Jessica for an illuminating hour-long event in which they’ll introduce you to the communication styles of the Enneagram types — those that evoke love and those that hinder it — so you can begin to expand your abilities to relate openly with others.
In this transformative online event, you’ll:
- Learn how the Enneagram can help you expand your capacity for authentic and compassionate communication
- Be guided through an inner journey to understand how to embody the gifts of each of the 3 Centers — body, heart, and head — to create authentic communication with others
- Gain greater awareness of some of your communication habits and how they may be helping or hindering your sense of wholeness and effectiveness in relating to others
- Find key ingredients held in each of the 9 types — which you can use to invite your personal and professional connections to bring their most authentic selves — so you can improve your relationships
- Experience what it might be like to live with more peace of mind knowing that you’re communicating in an understanding and compassionate way with your loved ones
Jessica and Russ will focus more broadly on the challenges and gifts of each of the three Centers as they guide you in a centering practice and inner journey — using sensation, breath, and awareness to experience ways to harness the gifts of each to cultivate creative communication.
The Enneagram, Russ and Jessica say, can help you move out of the box of your own idealized self-perception, so you can communicate more effectively and, thereby, better navigate your relationships and manage the challenges of your daily life and the world around you.
Live long, love life and be well.

About Russ Hudson
Russ Hudson has established himself over the past three decades as one of the top teachers and developers of the Enneagram personality typology in the world today. Actively involved in the Enneagram community, Russ is co-founder and president emeritus of The Enneagram Institute as well as a founding director and former vice president of the International Enneagram Association. He’s been writing and teaching full time with The Enneagram Institute since 1991.
Russ has co-authored five bestselling books with Don Richard Riso, including The Wisdom of the Enneagram and Personality Types. These books are widely considered to be not only groundbreaking contributions in the field of Enneagram studies, but also important contributions to the literature of psychological types. The pair developed a scientifically validated test instrument, the Riso-Hudson Type Indicator (RHETI), now considered a standard test in the Enneagram field. The RHETI has been used by numerous Fortune 500 companies.
Russ has a solid background in science, as well as in studies of philosophy and religion. He approaches his work with the Enneagram holding both perspectives. He originally encountered the Enneagram through The Gurdjieff Work and sees it as a map for personal development and awareness rather than merely as a system for categorizing people. He has emphasized the importance of cultivating presence and mindfulness as a foundation for authentic work with the Enneagram, and has worked diligently to align the study of the Enneagram to spiritual practice, bringing their combined benefit into greater public awareness.
Russ has appeared on Good Morning America and The CBS Morning Show, as well as on several dozen radio and television shows as an expert on personality types. He has become a popular speaker at conferences and retreat centers around the world, including the Esalen Institute, the Wisdom 2.0 Conference, and the Science and Nonduality Conference (SAND).
