Path to Freedom

Introducing Path to Freedom…
Path to Freedom (PtF) is the second program in EPP’s International Enneagram Association (IEA) Accredited Training Program, and a component of how we train potential “guides” to teach EPP’s compassionate curriculum in prisons and jails around the world. While PtF is open to all who are interested in deepening their understanding of self and others through a progressive unfolding of EPP’s compassionate curriculum, please note that it is a prerequisite for those who wish to apply to EPP’s Guide Training Program, regardless of previous Enneagram training, certifications, or background.

After successful completion of 9PrisonsONEKey (successful completion includes 100% attendance in live sessions and 100% completion of the Learning Management System), EPP’s foundational Enneagram course, participants are invited to apply to Path to Freedom.

Overview of Path to Freedom CoursesIn this four-part course, we will deepen our understanding of the Enneagram system and all nine types.
In the first course, Navigating Our Territory, we will take a big picture look at personality, exploring the Universal Laws of 1, 3 & 7, the Three Centers of Intelligence, Object Relations Theory, and the Triadic Groups into which the types are organized.
In the second course, How We Develop, the class will investigate personality development and how attachment, neglect, and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) can impact an individual’s capacity to thrive.
The third course, Addicted to Personality, will expand on Enneagram Prison Project’s compassionate approach to addiction, and the circuitry that is needed for healthy growth and development. Using the Childhood Timeline exercise, everyone will be invited to connect the dots between childhood experiences, the survival strategies we developed, and what we carry with us into adulthood.
Finally, in course four, Defenses and Reactivity, we will learn how the type-related defense systems are the glue that holds our personalities in place, and explore our respective key(s) to freedom.
During PtF, we will employ a combination of self-reflection, didactic teaching, and break-out sessions to clarify common areas of confusion for new students of the Enneagram, as well as support each other in identifying the accurate territory for our own Enneagram types. Guided by EPP’s Principles of Safety, participants practice how to articulate insights in real-time, discern our inner critics from our inner witnesses, and how we “do the work together” in live cohort sessions and small group pods.
PtF is a 66-hour International Enneagram Association (IEA) accredited training program.

PtF consists of the following four courses, which are taught in sequence over four consecutive months:
  • Course 1: Navigating our Territory
  • Course 2: How We Develop
  • Course 3: Addicted to Personality
  • Course 4: Defenses and Reactivity
Applicants are asked to commit to completing all four courses, as well as a mandatory orientation session, beginning in late January 2022 and concluding in early May 2022. PtF requires a time commitment of approximately 6 to 7 hours per week, which includes the following: virtual live sessions, self-guided online learning, reading, and community processing. Please see below for additional information.
  • Mandatory Orientation session
  • Four courses (Navigating our Territory; How We Develop; Addicted to Personality; and Defenses & Reactivity)
  • Weekly 3-hour live zoom sessions facilitated by EPP Guides (over 14 weeks)

  • Reading in the Wisdom of the Enneagram by Riso and Hudson
