Reclaiming Wholeness: A Journey into the Enneagram and the Five Buddha Families – Online 8-week Course
September 17 – November 12
with Charlotte Rotterdam & Catherine Bell
Is your inner weather matching the world outside?

What if the seasons were not only happening around us, but within us?
Growth isn’t a straight line; it’s a cycle.
In this eight-week journey, we move beyond ‘fixing’ ourselves and instead learn to read the weather of our inner lives. By weaving together the ancient wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism, the psychological depth of the Enneagram, and the natural rhythms of the seasons, you’ll discover a map for living that honors mystery and your own innate wholeness.

What if the Seasons Were Not Only Happening Around Us, But Within Us?
This eight-week course explores transformation through the wisdom of the Five Buddha Families from Tibetan Buddhism, the Enneagram, and the living rhythms of the seasons. Rather than treating growth as a linear project, we’ll approach it as cyclical, embodied, and ever-evolving. Each season reveals different energies, patterns, gifts, and invitations within our psyche, our being and our doing.
Drawing on contemplative tradition, psychological insight, and symbolic teaching, this unique course brings the Five Buddha Families and the Nine Enneagram Points into conversation. The Buddha Families offer a framework for understanding our encumbered patterns and particular forms of wisdom, while the Enneagram helps us recognize our defaults and wake up from automaticity. Together, they offer a compassionate map for transforming neurosis into wisdom and living more fully from our innate wholeness.
Over eight weeks, we explore how the seasonal cycle mirrors the movement of consciousness: spring inspires creativity, summer reveals vitality, fall invites abundance and letting go, and winter opens us to essence, stillness, and presence. This is not a course about fixing ourselves or locking ourselves into fixed types. It is about learning to read the weather of our inner life and to meet each season with greater awareness, compassion, discipline, courage, and trust.
