The AEA was formed by a group of dedicated Enneagram teachers in the fall of 2008 in order to expand the foundational work that had been done in the past in bringing the teachings of the Enneagram to the residents of Arizona.

We are a non-profit educational organization with various levels of membership available. We primarily use a method of teaching the Enneagram known as the Narrative Tradition which simply means that you learn about the Enneagram Types from those who know them the best - the Types themselves - through panels and discussions led by knowledgeable instructors.

The AEA offers a wide selection of introductory and advanced programs taught by experienced and masterful teachers. We also sponsor workshops through the Enneagram Studies in the Narrative Tradition featuring internationally known teachers such as Helen Palmer, David Daniels and others, drawing from a full spectrum of national and international teachers.

In addition to teaching the Enneagram it is the purpose of the AEA to:

AEA President Judy Shoob recently retired from a lifelong career working for a national company as a VP of Human Resources, which required training, investigating, mediating and leadership. Judy has been studying the Enneagram for seven years, and has completed the first phase of teacher certification.
