Overview

Claudio Naranjo brought the Enneagram into modern psychology through his SAT (Seekers After Truth) program in the 1970s. Programs in his lineage continue to offer the most clinically oriented Enneagram training available. These are intensive, often retreat-based experiences that combine personality theory with therapeutic technique, somatic awareness, and deep psychological work. This is the Enneagram at its most clinical and transformative — not for the casual learner.
