The 9 Personality Types
However we use the Enneagram finding our type is just the first step on the wonderful journey of self discovery. Remember we have all nine types in us but one of them is our default type – where we go to get our basic human needs met.

What our clients say
I have attended a number of retreats that Marie has organised and without exception they have all been a wonderful experience. The organisation is smooth and seamless which makes it very easy to say yes every time to them. She attracts an international mix of people to attend which makes it fun and interesting. The work we have done on her retreats with Russ Hudson has been profound, deep and transformational. I am very grateful to Marie for her commitment to making these work.
I have just done the Enneagram Body Work retreat that Marie organised in Dublin. It was fantastic. This has taken a lot of dedication and perseverance over many years on Marie part to make this happen in Ireland! Marie sets an excellent example for all and shares her own real life experiences, which brings the work to life. Thank you again for an excellent retreat, for all your support and flexibility. I look forward to the next one.
It is a real honor to write a testimonial for Marie Flynn. The only challenge is finding the words to express how talented, empathetic and soul-ful she is. I was privileged to get to know Marie in connection with the Enneagram Institute Inner Work Retreat she put together near Dublin in October 2015. I can’t even begin to imagine the prodigious and creative work required to coordinate schedules of the very busy leaders, find a suitable (outstanding, in fact) place for the retreat and bring the participants from all over the world together.
What I can speak to from very personal experience is how profoundly present Marie was — unfailingly and with all of us. I gained deeply valued personal insights from talking with her. I feel I also gained from her a more lasting and nuanced understanding of the Work we were all there to do. I hope and trust Marie will always be a friend and mentor.
Marie Flynn is simply the real thing. I respect her sharp mind, her ability to communicate from her own experience, to be both authentic and kind, to bring vision to reality. But what makes me really receptive to these qualities is the experience of the rare gift of being truly met and valued when I am in her presence.
