Diving right in, Abram, Creek, and Drew talk about the often used, but rarely understood concepts of “ego” and “essence” in the enneagram system. In this episode, they explore:

• What is an ego? What is essence?  How can we understand these important but confusing concepts?
• What roles do ego and essence play in the enneagram?
• Resources to dig deeper

“Navigating our inner depths…one fathom at a time.”
