Integrating good Enneagram wisdom into your life

What is an Enneagram Cadre?

Our Enneagram Cadre is a small group of people being developed toward a particular purpose: to integrate good Enneagram wisdom into their own life and the lives of those with whom they have influence… with an eye toward the depth and journey that the Enneagram offers.

The Enneagram Cadre is taught explicitly through an integrated experience of the contemplative tradition of the Christian faith. While we certainly focus on the wisdom the Enneagram has to offer, we will also be participating in spiritual practices during our times together.

You can count on excellent teaching, the sharing of stories, laughter, tears and deep connection with others, while doing important soul work. We would love for YOU to join us in this deep dive!

And if you love it as much as our Cadres from 2020-2023, there will be an opportunity to join us for a second year (or more) of growth!

Details for the meetings

The Enneagram Cadre meets five times on Fridays and one Friday-Saturday weekend. We have two venues we use and both are located north of Indianapolis, Indiana in Fishers and in Noblesville. Each session will begin with a focused conversation regarding the individual's current Enneagram work and then a discussion and in-depth look at different parts of the Enneagram. Lunch and snacks are provided.

We focus on these topics:

  • The Nine Enneagram Styles

  • True Self-False Self and our Continuum of Growth Towards Health

  • Triads and the Impact of Shame, Fear, and Anger

  • Stances (Including Time Orientation)

  • The Instincts and related Subtypes of each Enneagram Style

  • Stress and Security

  • Passions & Virtues, Fixations & Holy Ideas

  • Cadre has been transformational and life-giving. The insights and observations from the others in the cadre have helped round out my own discoveries, and it’s truly a gift to learn and grow together.

    Julie Williams

  • I feel like I have a much fuller understanding of the Enneagram, but also a new group of friends who are doing the work of seeking to grow in their type. The vulnerablity of each person over this past year has been a gift and made the Enneagram much more real.

    Brent Croxton

  • Just right. This is my headline for David’s Enneagram Cadre. It’s just the right amount of meetings, the group size is perfect, and the content is relevant every time.

    Roz Harris

  • Being part of the Enneagram Cadre has brought about greater personal awareness and acceptance, leading me to greater opportunity to take appropriate action.

    Rosie Wittleder

  • The Cadre training has systematically empowered me to peel back the layers of my false protective personality to become the person I was created by God to be in the world.
