9 – the adapting gut point. Get really comfortable in your seat. If you can find a soft chair or a comfy spot on your couch, sit there. Let your weight sink into the couch. Loosen your belly, your shoulders, even the muscles in your face. Feel your bottom spread out. If you are wearing anything tight, loosen it. Now, glance around the room and allow your eyes to have a soft focus…
What are the Basic Energies of the Enneagram Types?
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.

Individual Sessions
Asheville and Online
We are coaches and licensed psychotherapists
Session times and fees vary by facilitator
DISCOVER YOUR TYPE
This is an individual session to help you discover your type. We explore your expressions, responses, subjective, and objective energetics.
We use our Embodiment technique to help you feel the differences between the patterns. We discuss the underlying motivations influencing each type. We show you each type by embodying and acting out the body language, talking style, and general demeanor. This interaction is very conducive for discerning the nuances of the Enneagram and discovering your type.
We help you recognize and accept there is a pattern and you are more than the pattern. Most people are able to figure out their type in 1 session, but it can take a few meetings to be sure.
As with all our face-to-face services, we provide a free code to access our online course before scheduling an individual session.
TRANSCEND FIXATION
This individual session is for those who are familiar with their type and interested in delving deeper.
We begin by making sure you understand your type beyond the basics - hierarchy of subtypes, wings, and movement. Then we work with the energy of your pattern and help you understand how to release the contracted and fixated qualities of the pattern. The focus becomes awakening from the dream of enneatype fixation.
Most people schedule more than one of these sessions for on-going therapy and/or coaching over a period of time. We are competent to care for anything that may arise as a result of this deeper work.
EMBODY ESSENCE
This individual session is for those who know their type and want to experience essence.
We begin by making sure you understand your type beyond the basics. Then we work with orienting toward essence. We use the conditioned ways that you experience essence (through objects and memories) to begin to “taste” essence. Eventually you will be able to directly access the sacred qualities of your essence without using conditioning. After this point we will guide you in beginning to integrate and embody these qualities. The focus becomes living with and as the essence of your being rather than fixation.
Most people schedule more than one of these sessions for on-going therapy and/or coaching over a period of time. We are competent to care for anything that may arise as a result of this deeper work.
RELATIONSHIP DYNAMICS
This is a session for 2 people in any form of relationship - romantic, friends, family members, roommates, co-workers, etc.
We help you understand each others' type - inner dynamics, underlying motivations - and how your patterns interact. We explore the ways each person's personal and world views may influence each other in difficult ways. We explore how you can help the other become more balanced.
The goal is to develop deep compassion for each other. This session can help mediate conflict or to deepen an intimate connection. Some have the intention of helping each other become free of fixation.
