Russ Hudson has been presenting his new material in Denmark since 2002
I met Russ Hudson back in 2001 when he was teaching together with Don Richard Riso. It was my first meeting with the founders of the Enneagram Institute, and I joined Enneagram Part 1 together with a group of 30 enthusiastic learners, soon to become Enneagram-enthusiasts.
The Enneagram Institute of Denmark was founded in 2002, and today, 22 years later, we are celebrating the fact that Russ has chosen Denmark as his hub for introducing his new material. The Enneagram Institute of Denmark is also called “Det Danske Enneagram Institut” and we have based our teaching in Denmark and internationally on the lineage of Don and Russ since 2002.
In this interview, you can listen to Russ sharing why he enjoys teaching in Denmark, why the Scandinavia Model for Teaching and Learning works so well for the way Russ is presenting his material, and some of the deeper aspects of why the Enneagrammet is not about “becoming better” but “becoming real”.
Russ Hudson presented his Nine Gateways to Presence
Back in 2023, Russ Hudson presented his approach, “Nine Gateways to Presence” in Copenhagen. The title of the workshop is also the title of his book, which will soon be converted from an audiobook to a printed book. I don’t know how many times I have been listening to Russ’s voice sharing his experience with the Enneagram, it’s origin and it’s practical use for presence work and personal growth and development. The book covers all nine personality types and their psychology of presence.
