The Emotions We Struggle to Access Through the Lens of the Enneagram - with Samantha Mackay
We are delighted to welcome Samantha Mackay from Australia to our upcoming webinar programme on Saturday 20 September! Learn more and register at: https://www.personality-type.uk/event-details/the-emotions-we-struggle-to-access-through-the-lens-of-the-enneagram-1 Overview: One element of improving our emotional intelligence is to become more familiar with our own emotions, particularly, those we accept and those we push away. Through the lens of the Enneagram, we see that each Enneagram Type struggles to accept at least one of the four core emotions - anger, sadness, fear and happiness. Through this lens we learn why we avoid them and how we can practice accepting them. Details: 🗓️ Saturday 20 September 2025 🕒 9:00 - 10:30 am BST 💻 Online on Zoom 🎁 Included/Free with a BAPT membership 🎫 £20.50 for non-members 🎥 This session will be recorded.
