Enneagram Training, Riso-Hudson Certification

The Enneagram Institute Training Program—
The Riso-Hudson Insight Approach®

Don Riso and Russ Hudson offer the most complete three-part Enneagram Training Program available anywhere in the world today. Their Insight Approach® is a full spectrum exploration of the Enneagram and all of its elements, psychological and spiritual. The program offers a tremendous range and depth, and the content and precision of the Riso-Hudson Enneagram Training Program have earned a global reputation. People from all over the world have also found the Trainings profound, deeply touching, intimate, and personally transformative. See what prior participants have said.

The Insight Approach® guides students to focus on the inner structures of the types as well as the internal dynamics of the Enneagram as a whole. Because the Insight Approach® gives people a clear understanding of this incredibly rich system, Riso-Hudson students are able to make creative applications in their areas of personal interest and professional expertise. Even more importantly, this approach has been revolutionary in fostering personal growth. Deep psycho-spiritual insight—with compassion—allows people to be aware of themselves in a way that makes self-acceptance, letting go, and lasting change possible.

"Don has proven himself time and again to be an original thinker of the Enneagram. He has made a number of significant contributions which will stand the test of time. His Training programs with Russ Hudson are a dream-come-true for anyone interested in serious, in-depth content. His teaching is accessible, brilliant, and speaks to the heart with humor, clarity, and a gentle directness that touches people in their core. Don't miss an opportunity to study with him."

"I am so glad that Don and Russ continue their very wise broader view of the development of the whole field of the Enneagram... This is a great part of why I want to continue to work with them and under the EI umbrella—it is a matter of integrity and heart...and trust in the beneficence of the Universe. I am always appreciative that their voices call the whole Enneagram community to expansion rather than rigidity and tightly held narrowing fears. This is, after all, the spiritual work calling us all awake."

The Full Spectrum of the Enneagram

An enormous wealth of Enneagram theory and practice are brought together in a rich and varied program designed to facilitate learning on a variety of levels simultaneously. The Riso-Hudson Enneagram Training Program provides students with specific, in-depth information in an extremely comprehensive study of the entire Enneagram system. We cover clearly and in depth the following areas: the nine personality types, wing theory, the arrows, the Levels of Development (one of our main contributions to Enneagram theory), the Psychic Structures (visual models of the types—another Riso-Hudson development), the Instinctual Variants (often called the "subtypes"), the three Centers, the basic elements of the traditional Enneagram (the Passions, Virtues, Fixations, and Holy Ideas), the history of the system (and correct the myths that have grown up around it), how the Enneagram can be used for personal and spiritual growth and professional applications, short type panels, experiential exercises, meditations, and music. This multi-modal learning mix is presented in a warm, accepting atmosphere of non-judgmental allowing.

Our highly qualified Enneagram Institute Faculty Members (Don Riso, Russ Hudson, Brian Grodner, and Gayle Scott) enrich each Training with their expertise and personal experience. At least two faculty members are present during each session and are available for personal contact and questions throughout the Training. Their teaching style is intimate and conversational, warm—and often very funny—with a "hands-on" attitude that invites questions and personal sharing from everyone.

The Riso-Hudson Enneagram Training Program is open to anyone who wishes to deepen their understanding of themselves and the many manifestations of human nature accounted for by the Enneagram. The Training Program can be used for personal growth and spiritual deepening, for professional enrichment (in business, consulting, and coaching, for example), or to enhance your work as a therapist, minister, or teacher—among the many applications people have made. The only requirement is a desire to learn and to grow—and to have a familiarity with at least one of the pioneering books by Don Riso and Russ Hudson, preferably Personality Types–Revised edition (1996) or The Wisdom of the Enneagram (1999).

Completion of the Training Program is one of the major elements to becoming a Riso-Hudson Certified Enneagram Teacher.
