Tammy from the Enneagram School of Awakening has developed a practice for working with Essence called Sacred Nourishment. This is a practice that guides our essential ecstatic nature into a lived, embodied, and integrated being. ..
Are Consciousness and Essence the Same?
Essence in the Enneagram refers to the sacred frequency at the core of who we are as unconditioned expressions of the Divine. These frequencies exist at the “level” of our shared being of consciousness, beyond our fixated personality. Consciousness has diverse flavors or facets - these are the essences of the Enneagram.
How does Essence relate to Happiness?
Essence Certification (Specialist)
12-month Essence program
Facilitated by Tammy, this is a sacred journey into the Essence of the Enneagram.
Completing this program provides Level 1 Certification in the Enneagram School of Awakening’s Embodiment Tradition AND 72 points towards becoming an Accredited Professional with the International Enneagram Association IEA.
Primary Purpose of the Program
Learn how to deeply perceive the essence of the Enneagram (types, centers, instincts) in yourself and others
Learn how to embody and experience the patterns of the personality types/fixations
Grow deep empathy and wisdom for the fixated behaviors of the types - these “negative” behaviors are always innocently seeking essence
Receive deep somatic nourishment and healing from the sacred essence of the types - to connect with each essence, we will use embodiment practices and sensory techniques such as herbal teas, sound baths, guided meditations, yoga postures, and Qigong movements.
Tammy’s Co-Creative Style
Tammy brings rich experience and wisdom in psychospirituality and the Enneagram of Essence. To her, spirituality is deeply personal, all inclusive, and always evolving. She loves to share the insights and practices that work for her, while honoring that this material is also a co-creation. She creates a beautiful inspiring space to explore and deepen this work together.

Other Offerings of the Program
Learn how to discern and experience the nuances of Enneagram personality types and their essence including the subtypes, wings, and movement
Learn how to facilitate using embodiment techniques - dynamic demonstrations of each type (expressions, body language, talking style, demeanor)
Learn how to receive and share the nourishing experience of essence
Learn a deeper perspective on the Enneagram than is conventionally taught-
The Personality types are unconscious drives to return to essence. The Enneagram of Essence is fundamental to our healing and fundamental to our suffering. The Enneagram of Personality shows us that our personalities are full of dissatisfaction and the Enneagram of Essence shows us why - our personalities are shaped entirely by our unfulfilled seeking for essence.
This program provides all the basics of the Enneagram of Personality, while demonstrating that essence is the container and core of the personality types. Tammy will guide this group through the embodiment of the personality types and into the healing potential of the Enneagram - the nourishing essence of who we are.
