In contrast to the belief that racism is a personal choice, we will explore racism as a collective, often subconscious, reality that affects literally every person who grew up in Western cultures. Like our Enneagram types, racism tells a story of who we are, that is in reality, incomplete. We will explore how each type can fall into the trap of perpetuating existing power structures, and how each type can leverage their strengths for positive change. We will engage video excerpts of interviews with people of color who have worked with the Enneagram.

This session invites participants to work toward antiracism, by identifying internalized narratives, staying in their bodies, and engaging presence practices. Video excerpts of interviews with BIPOC Enneagram friends are the heart of this session.
