At Big Self School, we’ve been thinking about the relentless pace of modern life—how so many of us move through our days in survival mode, pushing harder and doing more, all while silently asking ourselves: “Why doesn’t this feel like enough?”

To top this off there are plenty of ways to type yourself at basic behavioral levels all over the place. You might be able to do it at the speed of light with AI right now. So, baked into this program is a different set of cultural values. This is intended to break you out of surface-level “speed dating,” “self-improvement” agendas, and into a richer, far more majestic and profound contemplative state of being.

The Slow Enneagram is an invitation to join me—and the many others who are endeavoring in this work together—in that process. You don’t hustle your way out of your personality patterns, but through this process, in a surprisingly fast way, you can find your way back to your essence, your True Self. Discover what’s essential to your well-being and realign with it, one growth step at a time.

These steps aren’t about fixing you because you’re not broken. Instead, they’re about reconnecting with your essence—the parts of you that have always been whole but might have been drowned out by the noise.

So, let’s begin. Together, we’ll explore the guiding principles that can help you self-observe, undo old patterns and build a sustainable path forward. Whether you’re just beginning to notice the cracks or you’re deep in the thick of it, this program is here to guide you back to clarity, balance, and the vibrant life you deserve.

Let’s get started.

Big love,

Dr. Chad

I’ve been slowly building the Slow Enneagram course for curious people who truly desire to grow—for whatever reason. It’s finally ready.

We’ve used the Enneagram as our go-to coaching tool for years now.

The Enneagram is simple and complex. It is a powerful shortcut to work for which there are no shortcuts. It goes way beyond mere typing. It helps us see our motivations. It provides the full range of possibilities you need for fundamental and experiential change.

That can only be seen from the inside–within one’s own true self first.

Our culture moves fast. It’s good to move fast.

It’s good to move slow too.

And like I always say about working out, “If you’re going to do this for the rest of your life, you might as well take your time.”

That’s where Slow Enneagram comes in.

Slow Enneagram is an eight-part, self-paced program. We combine the absolute essentials for learning the Enneagram well (clearly and accurately), and for using that learning as a tool for your growth.

This isn’t about learning how to do or be more. This is the best kind of learning. Learning about you.

Sometimes it’s unlearning.

Use Slow Enneagram any way you feel like it.

Let’s get started.

We Are Largely Unconscious

“In order to awaken, first of all one must realize that one is in a state of sleep. And in order to realize that one is indeed in a state of sleep, one must recognize and fully understand the nature of the forces which operate to keep one in the state of sleep.”

―G.I. Gurdjieff
