In this episode of the International Enneagram Association podcast, we speak with Elisabeth Wurm, a theater director and Enneagram teacher from St. Louis.

The Fathoms hosts are also partnering with IEA as temporary hosts of this podcast for this year's global conference. Listen as they all share what this year's theme, “Unite & Ignite,” mean to them within the Enneagram community and what they are most looking forward to at the conference.“I love the Enneagram because it's a tool for liberation.” - Milton [02:41]“In relation to what we've been building for the past three years of Fathoms, how wide and complex it is to be human, and how the Enneagram is such a beautiful tool to help us navigate that, and I'm looking forward to adding more complexity and seeing how the Enneagram stands up” -Creek [14:16]“Why is there this factioning, why is there this othering between the new guard and the old guard? What's up? And it seems like it could be fixed with two lines of dialogue. What needs to happen? And I don't believe that I'm the secret sauce that's going to fix all of that, but I believe that naming it and doing something about it and striving to have connections between people is going to be the thing that's going to do it.” -Lee [19:31]“Especially in the Enneagram space, we spend so much time looking at ourselves and I feel like this is an opportunity to really look each other in the eye and to see one another more clearly.” -Lindsey [23:34]“When I think of these United & Ignite, it makes sense to me that we have to come together to experience the fire.” -Abram [30:22]“I think some of the most meaningful conversations I've ever had have been around a campfire and I think that's a good way to approach a conference like this.

They also share what they're looking forward to discussing at the conference and why it's important for them to reach out and connect more to a global audience.“For me, I learned there's a type and I'm not wrong or broken. And because I'm different from other people, I'm not wrong or broken. I just am. So in that way the Enneagram saved my life.” -Micky [06:58]“We have a tool, a system, a personality test, a journey, whatever you want to call it, you know it's called many different things to many different people, that does unite us… How do we use that to bring us together and ignite?” - Milton [25:46]“The thing we keep coming back to is we have to do the individual and the mutual work first before unity can actually arise.” -Creek [29:45]“I think there is nothing like shared consciousness to really light a flame, quite literally ignite that passion.” -Sarajane [32:00]TIMESTAMPS[00:01] Intro[00:50] Meet the hosts[04:13] Micky's Enneagram origin story[08:48] Sarajane's Enneagram origin story[11:10] Milton's origin story[13:57] Creek's origin story[16:03] What to expect on the podcast[18:14] The IEA conference[23:10] Hosts' thoughts on the theme[31:19] Shared consciousness[38:20] About this dance party[45:31] More on the conferenceConnect with us:IEA2023.comMilton Stewart:IG: @kaizencareersWeb: KaizenCareers.comWeb: Kaizen Enneagram AcademyPod: Do It For The Gram: An Enneagram PodcastSarajane Case:IG: @sarajanecasePod: Enneagram & CoffeeMicky ScottBey Jones:IG: @electric_lady_msjTwitter: @iammickyjonesWeb: mickyscottbeyjones.comPod: BRC & FriendsSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @_creekmorePod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastPod: Awareness to Action Enneagram PodcastPod: Delusional Optimism with Dr. B
