Helen Palmer was introduced to the Enneagram by Claudio Naranjo in the late 1960s. Since that time she has become pre-eminent in the field of Enneagram studies. A teacher of psychology and intuition, she has made many original contributions toward understanding how meditation and awareness training relate to the nine psychological types.
Helen has authored five highly acclaimed books in the field of human consciousness. The Enneagram and The Enneagram in Love and Work are perennial international bestsellers on the Enneagram topic and are now in 21 languages. Her Enneagram books have sold more than half a million copies worldwide. She was featured in the PBS documentary, Breaking Out of the Box: Discovering the Enneagram, and has recently launched a new website, www.enneagram.com.
Together with David Daniels, M.D., Helen co-founded and co-directs The Trifold School of Enneagram Studies™, reflecting her thirty 30-year commitment to bridging personal and spiritual realities. She also has developed and teaches an in-depth psychological-spiritual curriculum for type and spiritual freedom. She presents classes around the world that focus on key topics of psychological and spiritual integration. Some of the themes include type and false identity, projection, presence and self-forgetting, virtues of the heart, intuition and retrieving the Holy Ideas.
