The New School presents conversations, book signings, art, and lectures with thought and action leaders of our time. We are a learning community of 4,000 people in the Bay Area and around the world dedicated to learning what matters.
TNS focuses on the emergent, seeking out the thought and action leaders who are bringing discussion, beauty, and change to the world. We present events and podcast them in many areas: arts and sciences, health and the environment, and inner life. We follow streams of inquiry, including our End-of-Life Conversations, and series on Resilience, Archetypal Psychology, and Healing Circles.

TNS: Enneagram Panel Workshop - Day 1 - Introduction
Enneagram is an archetypal depth psychology. It has enormous power to deepen our insight into ourselves and others. As a follow-up to our last TNS conversation with author and enneagram expert Beatrice Chestnut, we offered a three-part series of workshops to explore enneagram further in depth. Each workshop features a three- to five-person panel of enneagram “types.”
This part one of the series featured the 8-9-1 types—the Body Center Types. This day was recorded in four parts. Find all of the videos on our YouTube site.
