Why Enneagram in San Jose?
San Jose's wellness market is the most tech-driven in our network. Our students here disproportionately come from software and hardware engineering, product management, and venture capital. The Silicon Valley mindfulness movement (Search Inside Yourself, the broader contemplative-tech ecosystem) has shaped client expectations toward sophisticated, evidence-aware practitioners.
For students of Enneagram specifically, San Jose's scene is a particularly good match: tech-driven student profile. highest absolute pricing power for graduate practitioners. The local cohort runs in venue partners around Downtown San Jose, Willow Glen, Mountain View, with public transit and parking accessible from across the metro.
San Jose students are often 30-48, with strong representation from tech (engineers, PMs, designers in active career questioning), biotech, and consulting. They tend to be highly educated, well-paid, and often have mature personal contemplative practices already.
What you'll be training in.
For a deeper introduction to Enneagram as a practice tradition, see the full program page.
The Enneagram is a personality framework that maps human character into nine interconnected types, each defined by a specific motivational pattern, characteristic strengths and limitations, and a set of healthy and unhealthy expressions. The model also includes wings (the influence of the two adjacent types), instinctual variants (self-preservation, social, sexual), and levels of development (from healthy expression to unhealthy expression within a single type).
What sets the Enneagram apart from most personality frameworks (MBTI, DISC, Big Five) is its depth and developmental structure. Where MBTI tells you what your type is, the Enneagram tells you what your type is, what motivates it, what it does in stress, what it does in growth, what it looks like at its healthiest, and what it looks like when it is struggling. This developmental quality makes it particularly useful for coaches, leaders, and team facilitators — but it also makes it harder to use well. The Enneagram is unusually easy to misuse with quick online tests that flatten people into stereotypes.
