Discover the Layer Beneath Enneagram Personality

Most people stop at Enneagram type. But there’s a deeper layer that explains why two people with the same type can look wildly different, and why we get stuck in the same relational patterns over and over again.

That layer is the instincts.

This group explores our enneagram instinctual survival drives — the energy that keeps us alive, connected, and engaged with the world. This is the level of our most basic human needs — safety, belonging, intimacy, and vitality.

In this 5-week small group, you’ll explore:

• How instincts live in your body and influence your nervous system

• Your dominant instinct- and how it runs the show!

• Your instinctual stacking — the unique way you prioritize needs and values

• See how instinct and type mix, amplify, or distort one another

• Recognize your blind spot instinct and how it impacts growth

• How instinctual patterns both protect and limit you

The Three Instincts We’ll Explore:

Self-Preservation (Sp) resources, safety, health, comfort, security

Sexual / One-to-One (Sx) intimacy, intensity, fusion, bonding, depth

Social (So) belonging, role, group connection, status, relational place

We all have all three — but we prioritize them differently, and this instinctual “stack” is what most shapes our day-to-day choices, our nervous system responses, our relationships, and how our Enneagram type expresses itself.
