“Feeling a bit lost or disconnected? This course helped me come home to myself. I joined Part 1: Knowing Yourself, Understanding Others with the Enneagram Academy a few months ago, and it was honestly transformative. Kate McCandless creates the kind of space where you feel safe, seen, and gently guided back to what really matters. If you’re craving more clarity or deeper connection — with yourself or your loved ones — I can’t recommend it enough.” ~ Anita B, Part 1 participant (Melbourne)
I loved the exploartions, the conversations and the people. The Enneagram is really useful platform to explore what it is to be Human and make sense of what it is to live a full life. ~ Anonymous, Part 2 participant (Melbourne)
What did you like about the workshop? Everything! It was excellent! Loved the energy, sharing and personal stories from the three different presenters. Loved the sharing from the group (and it felt qualitatively different to be in a non-beginners level, even though Part 1 was lovely too). Overall, a very lovely and authentic workshop with great depth and generous heart… I am amazed at how well this training compliments the Dharma/mindfulness path and relationship realm. ~ Maggie, Part 2 participant (Melbourne)
Did the workshop meet your expectations? Yes, very good. I did not know what to expect. The delivery of content was excellent, challenging and informative. Great leaders. ~ William James, Part 2 participant (Melbourne)
A great workshop that helps to ‘solidify’ the knowledge offered in Part 1. Facilitators flowed well with a combination of knowledge and compassion for the experiences of all parties… I liked the playful, experiential nature of the workshop… very happy to have attended and experienced. ~ Sandy, Part 2 participant (Melbourne)
What did you like most about the workshop? All of it! The many maps of Enneagram and Jungian concepts, the opportunity for self-exploration of my type and many cool excercises – all done in a safe environment. There was great depth, clarity and enjoyment. The workshop was amazing, rich, inspiring, illumintaing, deep and connecting. I felt like Andree, Kate and Rob all created safe place to be authentic, vulnerable and connected… loved the music too! ~ Noel, Part 2 participant (Melbourne)
A calm, loving facilitation…. I really enjoyed taking my learnings to the next level in a gentle and thoughful way. There is still much to process and let it ‘drop in’. I felt very comfortable and supported in a personal growth opportunity. ~ Debbie, Part 2 participant (Melbourne)
I feel fulfilled and whole having put to practice the spirit of the excercises. I am incredibly grateful to be able to participate with such excellent facilitators. I loved the size of the group, how the group leads the discussions, what it reveals, and the safe space it created…. and I love love love the venue! ~ Carly, Part 2 participant (Melbourne)
Did the workshop meet your expectations? Yes – probably exceeded! I really appreciate the safe space created and opportunity for experiential learning. Thanks for a wonderful experience. What did you like most about the workshop? The excercises/tools and the sense of spaciousness in exploring, and teaching and debriefs… it was very solid. ~ Michelle, Part 2 participant (Melbourne)
I really enjoyed the material. Loved all 3 facilitators for their openess, authenticity, and playfulness. Feels very kind and inclusive which creates psychological safety and fun. ~ Greg, Part 2 participant (Melbourne)
Wonderful facilitators who bring a very balanced way of presenting the material and with facilitating the activities. Lovely participants join together to make it a fun, safe and healing space. ~ Paulina Heart, Course participant (comment via Facebook page)
I have had the privilege of participating in 3 workshops with this team (Rob, Mackayla and Chad) and they compliment each other extremely well. I highly recommend engaging the Enneagram Academy. I continue to benefit daily from insights I gained. ~ Greg Lewis, Workshop Participant
Great to be a part of this new ‘Tribe’. It’s all applicable to both professional and private lives. Loved the ‘tastes’ of the content, which was brilliant. Great resources. I will be doing more ‘study’. ~ Jan, Deepening Our Enneagram Practice for Coaches and Therapists Course, Melbourne participant
The handout ‘cheat sheets’ really valuable for quick access to a huge spread of information. 5/5 for experience and program content. ~ Richard, Deepening Our Enneagram Practice for Coaches and Therapists Course, Melbourne participant

Brilliantly done. All 3 of you (Mary, Kate, Andree) were very clear. I loved the resources too. Great bite-sized chunks, with many more to come. ~ Vicki, Deepening Our Enneagram Practice for Coaches and Therapists Course, Melbourne participant
Real personal stories, very compelling and helpful. Loved the object relations, instincts, shadow/triggers, and the flow/story created from such wisdom in the room.

Great pace and content. Well designed to cover a lot of territory. I really liked the way you designed the flow, a bit longer would be help. ~ Deepening Our Enneagram Practice for Coaches and Therapists Course, Melbourne participant
I found the weekend seminar back in May awakened my awareness of myself and others. I learnt more about my own behaviours and others, my instant reactions to certain responses and now can see the benefits of thinking more and not being so reactionary. There is so much to learn. I am now currently studying the book ‘The Way of the Enneagram’. I am hoping to attend the next Enneagram session in August to further extend my knowledge. ~ Chris Sewell. Part 1, Melbourne Workshop participant
It was a most satisfying weekend. I found out so much about my self, my basic fears, and coping/dealing with many unpleasant experiences we face. I highly recommend the workshops to anyone who wants to find out more about themselves. ~ Chris Sewell. Part 1, Melbourne Workshop participant
