IEA Korea



IEA Korea was established in 2008 as the only official affiliate of International Enneagram Association. Our vision is to contribute to the building of healthier society through the wisdom of Enneagram. All the wisdom and knowledge would do us no good if it were not implemented into our daily lives. We, at the IEA Korea, strive to help members of the community to apply the wisdom in their lives.

To this end, we hold two annual conferences and invite leading Enneagram professionals for special workshops. In addition, we develop training programs and publish Enneagram books.

We are looking forward to the time when we will be able to invite outstanding speakers from IEA for our workshops.

We deeply appreciate your interest and attention.

Thank you.

How have you been affected by the Covid-19 virus and what are your plans for the future?

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic that has stricken the globe, we were faced with numerous challenges in every way. Our training and certification program was affected as social distancing was imposed. Important conferences and meetings had to be canceled or downsized significantly. However, we are working hard to find ways to cope with the situation and to continue to support the community. The Fall Conference and the general assembly will be held online via videoconferencing on October 17. The certification program will be carried out using various platforms. And we will continue to be a space where wisdom and support for growth is provided.
