Giants Awakening 2024
a journey into presence for enneagram type 9s
A Deep Dive into the Presence and Purpose of Enneagram Nine
When a giant awakes, the earth does rumble.
Hearts awake and fear must crumble;
In the light of truth, what's fake is tumbled.
In Love's embrace stand tall and humbled.
This specialised programme is designed for enneagram type nines, that are awakening to the quality of their presence, and the impact of 9-energy running through them and their worlds.
The invitation is to step into a journey, into depths and mysteries of the 9-terrain. We will be allowing time... and space... for unfurling, as we delve into topics and details that plague and power the nine experience, all within the uniquely supportive companionship and mirroring of other type nines.
Why are type nines “giants”? What is the weight that burdens these reluctant , often sleepwalking giants? How are nines affecting the balance and harmony of the whole?
The gates to the Giants Awakening path are opening briefly, until the 1st of September, for the few who are going to be entering. The combination of individual (1:1) and group processes along the way, allows each person their own path while still in harmony with the flow and movement of the group.
Phase 1 - The Restlessness of the Slumbering Giant (2024)
Phase 2 - The Stretching of the Waking Giant (2025)
Phase 3 - The Presence of the Lucid Giant (2026)

Hear from Others who have Taken the Journey
discussions and reflections from previous giants awakening participants
Others have walked this path before. This is some perspective from them...
Enneagram Type Nines Addressing Type Nines
Giants Awakening (2020) participants share some of their reflections on "type nine". These are some responses to the question "What would you like to say to other type nines, from your current perspective?"
These interviews were done in December 2020, with the group 3 months into their Giants Awakening journey.
Considering the Invitation
Giants Awakening (2020) participants share some of their reflections on "considering the invitation". These are some responses to the question: "What would you like to say to type nines who may at some point be facing their own invitation to the Giants Awakening Journey?"
These interviews were done in December 2020, 3 months into Giants Awakening journey.
Practical Matters
programme structure, dates, times, costs...
The Giants Awakening Programme runs over 3 phases.
- Phase 1 (The Restlessness of the Slumbering Giant) 2024
- Phase 2 (The Stretching of the Waking Giant) 2025
- Phase 3 (The Presence of the Lucid Giant) 2026
*Dates and details for phase 2 and 3 will be provided for those who complete phase 1 and choose to continue into the next phase.
**For those that require a shorter or customised path, there are many options. These can be discussed when we meet.
Here is an overview of Phase 1 - dates, times, costs, programme structure...
The journey really begins with considering the invitation (and this is an actual step for you as a type 9... do not underestimate the importance of this step). Thereafter taking the steps to book at one of the open days and set up a first-contact meeting.
If, after exposure to these events, you are feel that this may indeed be something you are called into and are ready to step into, then your individual process begins with 1:1 sessions (as early as July). This is in preparation for the group process starting in September.
Jul - Nov 2024
July - August
Individual Process (1:1)
- 3 sessions prior to group process starting
- Dates will be arranged per person.
- Any of the 3 open-day programmes can be attended (29 Jun | 13 Jul | 4 Aug) as part of the preparation for the main programme.
September - November
Group Process
The group process includes
- A full day workshop, 1st September (1-9pm UK | 8am - 4pm New York (EDT))
- A 4-day retreat (14 - 17 November).
- Between that, twice monthly Thursday + Sunday meetings
- Thursdays: 5-9pm UK | 12 - 4pm NY (EDT)
- Sundays: 1-5pm UK | 8am - 12 NY (EDT)
Individual Process (1:1)
- 4 sessions (90min each) between 1 Sep - 30 Nov.
- Dates will be arranged per person.
$1800
(This includes all group and 1:1 sessions during Phase 1)
This is a Quantum Radiance Angel Fund sponsored programme. For anyone who needs custom sponsorship arrangements, please do not hesitate to ask. We understand that affordability varies greatly in different regions and at different times with individuals. If this programme is indeed a right action for you, affordability should not stand in your way.
The step by step costs are as follows. Payments are only expected at completion of each step.
- Jul - Aug (1:1) ($550)
- Sep - Nov (1:1) + Group Work ($900)
- Closing Retreat 14-17 Nov ($350)
(NB - If, after the 1st 1:1 session, it is clear that this programme is not for you, you have the option to exit the process at no charge, or to re-route to a purely 1:1 track separate from the main programme.)
This is an integral part of the design for this programme. Each person's journey is unique. The individual sessions allow for each person to work through things specific to them, that are not relevant or not appropriate in the group process.
The 1:1 process starts in July, before (and in preparation for) the group process.
- Session 1 (90min) - general baselines
- Session 2 (180min) - enneagram screening
- Session 3 (90min) - follow through and planning ahead
(The enneagram screening session is to determine how you are relating to the type-9 experience.)
Once the group process begins in September, each person will still have the benefit of individual sessions.
- Sessions 1-4 (90min each)
Thursdays (5 - 9pm UK | 12 - 4pm New York (EDT)) | Sundays (1 - 5pm UK | 8am - 12 New York (EDT))
The group process picks up momentum after the Intro-Day on the 1st of September, as we move into the Thursday + Sunday rhythm. This is where the foundations are laid.
- Getting a sense of self, as you are presently (the starting point)
- Basics of coherence (physiological)
- Awareness of baseline habits, comfort zones and autopilot strategies
- Emotional acuity
- Inhabiting the body
- Basic energy management - energy loss / recuperation vs energy generation
- Differentiating between self and other... energy, agendas, preferences
and more.
A 4-day retreat, to bring Phase 1 to a close.
- consolidation of the 3 month process
- wrap things up for anyone leaving the Giants Awakening programme at this point.
- prepare the way for anyone staying on for Phase 2 in 2025.
