Since August 2008 a group of between 7 and 12 people have been attending a monthly learning circle at The Great Life Centre in Bryanston. It is starting to feel more like a circle of friends, sharing the same passion and becoming a real E-Scale community. We meet once a month from 9:00 to 12:00 for a health breakfast, great conversations, networking and personal discoveries, and members take turns to facilitate the session.

In 2008 we covered the new E-Scale debrief structure, instinctual subtypes, levels of development, and the impact of a coaches' or facilitators' Enneagram types on the way they coach and facilitate people development.

In 2009 we are exploring each of the 9 types in detail - one type per month - by inviting a person of the "type of the month" to share their structure of interpretation with the group. We then explore issues that we are curious about and end with a discussion on appropriate development initiatives for the specific type. There is always opportunity for group members to share challenges they are facing in coaching specific clients. We all support and share experiences and offer suggestions from an Enneagram perspective. To date we have covered Types 2, 3, 4 and 5.
