Day 3
Brain, Body & Nervous System Foundations
Diedra Perry
Integrating HeartMath, the Nervous System, and the Enneagram
You will learn...
* Why your heart is actually running the show — sending signals to your brain before you're even aware of what you're feeling.* A simple breathing technique you can do mid-conversation that no one will notice — and how your Enneagram type tells you exactly when you need it.
* Why the coping strategies your type reaches for under stress feel like relief but are quietly making things worse — and how to catch yourself in the loop.
Diedra Perry is a stress, strategy, and resilience coach and certified HeartMath mentor who works with individuals and teams to improve their communication, decision-making, and response under pressure. She uses biofeedback and science-based tools to help people understand what’s happening in their nervous system in real time and how to shift it.
She often integrates the Enneagram into her coaching to help individuals recognize their stress patterns and develop clearer, more grounded, and effective responses. Her approach combines emotional regulation, nervous system training, and practical strategies that support stronger relationships and more consistent performance in both work and everyday life.

Dr. Jerome Lubbe
The Brain-Based Enneagram
You will learn...
* Why you are all nine Enneagram types — and why your lowest-scoring types are just as important as your primary one.
* How your lowest type is often where your deepest trauma lives — and why healing means safely returning to what once felt dangerous.
* A four-step framework — Notice, Name, Narrate, Need — for moving through triggered moments without shame and with genuine self-compassion.
Dr. Jerome D. Lubbe, DC, DACNB, is the founder of Thrive Humancare and an integrated advisor whose work bridges clinical neuroscience, identity development, nervous system regulation, and leadership.
He is the creator of the Brain-Based Enneagram, Whole Identity, WIP, WIPS, and related frameworks inside the Becoming Whole ecosystem.
His work is built for people who need more than fragmented insight. It helps them understand how their patterns, physiology, relationships, and decisions interact under pressure and safety.
Through clinical care, education, workshops, consulting, and high-touch advisory work, Dr. Jerome translates complex human systems into practical language people can actually use.
He is known for combining intellectual depth, compassionate clarity, and a lived commitment to the principles he teaches.

Jack Killen
Putting Patterns of Developmental Pathways (PDP) to Work
You will learn...
* Why your Enneagram type is not a fixed identity but an adaptive strategy — one of nine ways the mind automatically responds to three core human needs: agency, bonding, and certainty.
* How each type defaults to just one emotional regulation mode — express, contain, or let go — and why real growth means building a full repertoire of all three, not just getting better at your natural one.
* Why a Stanford psychologist studying motivation with no knowledge of the Enneagram independently arrived at the same three core needs — offering exciting scientific validation for what the Enneagram has been teaching all along.
Jack is a physician-scientist now retired from a 34-year career leading multidisciplinary biomedical research programs on cancer, HIV/AIDS, and integrative medicine at the National Institutes of Health.
His personal journey led him to the Enneagram in 1996. He is certified as a Narrative Tradition teacher (2004), and as a workplace trainer (2012) and coach (2013) by The Enneagram in Business.
His interests in the intersections of science, contemplative spiritual practices, and the Enneagram took root in a 20-year collaboration with Dan Siegel, David Daniels, Denise Daniels, and Laura Baker exploring the Enneagram of Personality from a contemporary scientific perspective. He is a co-author with them of Personality and Wholeness in Therapy: Integrating 9 Patterns of Developmental Pathways in Clinical Practice.
Tammy Hendrix
A Somatic Journey Through the Enneagram: From Survival to Essence
You will learn...
* How to recognize Enneagram patterns as embodied survival responses rather than fixed personality traits—allowing for greater compassion and flexibility in how you relate to yourself.
* How to gently track sensations in the body—such as contraction, protection, and activation—without needing to analyze, label, or diagnose the experience.
* How to access the embodied qualities of presence, openness, and regulation that support a shift from survival-based reactivity into a more grounded, authentic expression of self.
Tammy Hendrix, LCSW, is a psychotherapist, Enneagram teacher, and founder of the Enneagram of Essence®.
She integrates somatic work, archetypal psychology, and the Enneagram to help people move beyond insight into direct embodied healing.
With over 20 years of experience, she specializes in reconnecting the nervous system with the felt sense of essence as a pathway to healing.
Free Gift: Nine Facets of Essence: A somatic Enneagram practice guide to help you continue exploring the felt sense of each type’s essence.
