Journey into who you were created to be with the Enneagram and the Institute for Conscious Being.
Go beyond the Enneagram of personality typology to discover your deepest self,
your essence.
Open to people of all faiths, our mission is to promote living in spiritual consciousness. We do this by educating people through a compendium of courses for certification and conferences for gaining specific knowledge of the basics in the spirituality of the Enneagram and Consciousness Studies which put into practice the Enneagram as a tool for higher consciousness.
We also have a certification program in the Spirituality of the Enneagram and Consciousness Studies, ICB School. Within several weekend intensives per year conducted in person as well as virtually, our students receive a deep immersion into the ancient wisdom of the Enneagram.
What Makes ICB Different
We Believe
ICB believes that the more people who are conscious, the less conflict, destruction, and suffering there will be.
We Provide
In an effort to increase the critical mass of human beings who are spiritually conscious, ICB provides educational and other activities in several venues.
We Certify
We certify students at different levels of competency in the Spirituality of Enneagram. This is accomplished through intensive training experiences which are academic as well as experiential in nature.
Affirming that humanity has a Divine Source, that all people everywhere are spiritually connected, and that every thought and action affects all others, the Institute for Conscious Being promotes activities that raise consciousness of these principles.
Open to all spiritual pathways, the Institute for Conscious Being was created in response to the call for spiritual consciousness. The call arose because of the increasing levels of individual and collective suffering which cumulatively endanger our wellness, our planet’s existence and all life.
What Our Community Says
“From the outset, one senses the reality of authenticity and accountability within the leadership and teaching. There is an absence of ego driven language or a desire to place the spotlight on any one leader. The teaching and training is directly informed by each faculty member's own practice of the Enneagram. In fact, teacher is far more a practitioner of the Enneagram truths than simply someone presenting information.”

“I became personally interested in the Enneagram only in the past three years, when, thanks to the ICB’s framing, I came to see the ultimate goal of the Enneagram as reconnecting us with our divine essences, not just developing a more nuanced understanding of our ego types. This resonated powerfully with me because, at midlife, I was finding my ego type tiresome.”

“The Institute for Conscious Being equips me to share such important truths about myself to others. Because I now have an understanding of a tool to grow in my own honesty and essence and, as others seek to learn, a tool to help them grow in their own essence.
