Enneagram – Three Film Series: Deepen Self-Awareness

Watch a film and discover what really motivates the characters! We will use the Enneagram system of personality types to guide our exploration of film characters and discover insights.

If you’re new to the Enneagram, this is a fun way to experience it through vivid examples. If you’re an expert, come for an interesting conversation with like-minded folks, and to share what you know. 

This three part series offers:

  • Enneagram Education –explore the Enneagram system and its personality types.
  • Self-Discovery –gain insights into motivations and behaviors, of self and others.
  • Community Building: –enjoy a space for shared learning, connection, and fun.

Each Enneagram Film Night offers:

  • Enneagram Overview: introduce the Enneagram system and cover some core concepts that will be illustrated in the selected film. 
  • Film Screening: enjoy a carefully selected film that showcases several Enneagram types.
  • Group Discussion and Potluck: discuss and explore the Enneagram types of the main characters in the film. Participants have the opportunity to share their own insights and reflections. 

No prior knowledge of the Enneagram is required.
Each session will be self-contained, and previous attendance will not be required.
Films include mature content – please use discretion.

The films were chosen based on their diverse and well-developed characters, as well as their potential for Enneagram analysis.
