the enneagram for freedom

The inner journey on the road to liberation

HEY, I’M ADAM.


I’ve been working with people exploring and learning to embrace what is going on beneath the surface of our lives for nearly my whole adult life. Whether it has been college students, young professionals or parents, it has always been about the people and the vast and complex interior that is just beneath our skin. I’ve found kind and generous curiosity to be a mysterious doorway into that interiority but the truest gem of working with people has always been the sacred witnessing as people discover compassion and love for themselves and their most estranged, “other”.

  • 1:1 Coaching

    We are creatures of habit. Whether we pay attention to them or not our habitual ways provide comfort, efficiency and familiarity but they also constrict. 1-1 coaching is focused time to help you notice, name and find freedom from the habits that are running your life.

  • Working Groups

    There is a strong emphasis on the working in these gatherings. Rather than just share information, I facilitate real engagement with what we find about ourselves. There is something uniquely powerful about witnessing and being witnessed as one comes to see themselves more clearly in a space marked by compassion and courage.

  • Justice + Enneagram

    I am convinced that Inner work is a critical component of justice work. Working with our habitual ways of being is necessary if we are to meaningfully untangle from a culture of supremacy and work towards a society where all people can flourish.

What Clients are saying…

  • Adam has helped increase my awareness of habits I didn't see before. Most notably, his coaching has helped me become more aware of my body's hints of wisdom that overtime help me make important life choices.

    -Julie

  • More than ever, I see the beauty/magic in our differences. I also see the potential for conflict, but I understand the root of some conflicts better now, which increases my compassion for other points of view and behaviors. This gives more space to others. And perhaps, if I can extend more grace to others, then I can extend it to myself as well.

    - Erica

  • The most important thing I got from this group is that I can be whole apart from what I do or others think of me.

    -Malia

  • Adam used his exceptional teaching and facilitating skills to walk our management team through relational dynamics, communication and feedback practices using the enneagram. I highly recommend!

    -Jon

  • I was surprised by the power of the group dynamic of holding space for another's opening to new understanding of themselves.

    - Nancy

  • I enjoyed getting to hear the stories of others around their type. Hearing individuals speak from their own personal experience was impactful.

    -Seminar Participant

  • I'm hanging on this phrase you said: "metabolizing anger." It's a very accurate description and will likely change how I see and react to my feelings of anger

    -Erica

  • I feel empowered to notice when I'm starting to get locked in to my learned coping strategies, and instead to pause and see if I want to choose something different. Truly feels like "Enneagram for Freedom”!

    - Melissa

  • I’m surprised at how helpful it was to hear other people's experiences and view points.

    - Group participant

  • My big takeaway is clarifying that my personality is not me. I have the option to act on my personality - I must vs I may!

    -Seminar Participant

  • I have better awareness of when my body is letting me know: I feel safe, content, rested, or I feel protective, anxious, or defensive. These small inputs and being able to notice them better has led to BIG life choices. I am grateful for the progress and space he creates for this growth."

    -Julie

  • I am this way, but I don't *have* to be. I can be a more full human by seeing my tendencies and *gently* acknowledging that there is another way.
