The Vision Driving This Summer School

In the early days of the Enneagram, we were fortunate to be part of an active European community of certified teachers in the Narrative Tradition, learning from Helen Palmer, Dr. David Daniels, and Peter O’Hanrahan, immersed in advanced courses and spiritual retreats.

Together, we explored, innovated, and applied this profound knowledge—growing both as individuals and as professionals working with the Enneagram. 

As much of today’s training moves online, we are committed to preserving this depth of learning and personal connection. While the number of Enneagram teachers is rapidly growing, much of the focus remains on the basics.

To keep the wisdom intact and powerful, we continue our work within the Enneagram Europe Summer School on-site, in-person and in-depth, offering those who are ready to invest in deeper knowledge the opportunity to explore and master this transformative work and be part of establishing and continuing a flourishing and supporting community.

At Enneagram Europe Summer School, learning goes beyond coursework—it’s about connecting in person with like-minded individuals. Live gatherings foster real conversations, new friendships, and a vibrant community that deepens each participant’s journey. These connections create a lasting network of support, inspiration, and shared commitment to the transformative power of the Enneagram.

Enneagram Europe is legally required to charge VAT (9 or 21%) to all EU residents. However, we are committed to ensuring fair participation for everyone. For this reason, Enneagram Europe absorbs the VAT instead of passing it on to you as required by law. This way the final price remains the same for all participants.

For organizations within the EU but outside the Netherlands, an invoice will be issued with 0% VAT under the reverse charge mechanism, upon request and provided a valid Chamber of Commerce and VAT number is supplied.

For organizations based in the Netherlands, we’ll provide an invoice with 21% VAT.

The Summer School will proceed as planned with the published programme once the first 60 registrations have been received. Following this, you will receive written confirmation that the program is officially confirmed.

We’ll make the most of today’s advanced technology to ensure translation options are available. Whether it’s live audio tools or subtitled materials, we’re here to help you fully engage in the experience. Let us know your needs in advance, and we’ll take care of the rest!

Can’t make it? We’ll be super sad to miss you—and for you to miss this amazing EnneaFest! Let us know as soon as possible, and if you cancel at least two weeks before the event, we’ll issue a full refund.

For all the details, check out our terms and conditions.
