Enneagram Australia & Aotearoa New Zealand is a not-for-profit volunteer-led affiliate of the International Enneagram Association

Why we exist

Enneagram Australia & Aotearoa NZ exists

to build a strong and connected Enneagram community across our region.

About Us

We are Enneagram Australia & Aotearoa New Zealand (EAANZ)—a not-for-profit, member-based organisation supporting a vibrant and inclusive Enneagram community across our region.

As an official regional affiliate of the International Enneagram Association, we exist to bring people together to share learning, practice ethics, and engage meaningfully with the Enneagram. Our role is to support connection across diverse approaches, backgrounds, and levels of experience, while helping the Enneagram be used with care, depth, and integrity.

Who we are

EAANZ is a regional home for people who are curious about, learning with, teaching, or professionally working with the Enneagram in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.

We are not a single school, methodology, or teaching lineage. Instead, we serve as a collaborative umbrella—supporting dialogue, education, and relationships across the many ways the Enneagram is studied and applied.

As a not-for-profit organisation, we are guided by stewardship rather than commercial interest. Our work is led by volunteers and shaped by the needs and contributions of our community.
