NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
LET’S FIND YOUR WAY TOGETHER

Before we go further your etrek Journey is always free. The trail awaits you whenever you’re ready.

But if you’re still not quite sure which path to take - if you’ve taken an Enneagram test and felt more confused than clear, or if you’re new to the whole Enneagram concept - this Gear Up Session is for you.

Think of it like a private ski/snowboard lesson before hitting the mountain. It’s not mandatory - but it can make your first steps feel way more grounded, confident, and aligned.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN A GEAR UP SESSION?

A Gear Up Session is a purposeful and empowering way to begin your Journey. Every element has been carefully designed to offer clarity, insight, and real support - so you feel seen, guided, and ready. It’s more than preparation - it’s a meaningful kickoff that helps you step in with confidence, direction, and a deep sense that you’re not walking alone.

ENNEAGRAM TEST
 

Discover your top Enneagram types through a research-based assessment
You’ll receive a digital code for the RHETI (Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator), one of the most trusted tools for Enneagram discovery. This 144 - question test helps reveal your dominant personality type and potential supporting types - your essential starting point.

WHY IT MATTERS:

Understanding your Enneagram type is the first step to navigating your integration path with clarity. It’s not just about labels - it’s about unlocking the story beneath your patterns so you can grow with intention, not confusion.

90-MIN 1:1 SESSION
 

Journey deeper into your story with someone trained to walk beside you. In this personal 90-Minute 1:1 Zoom session, you’ll explore your RHETI results with a certified etrek Guide. Together, you'll discern your core type, explore your spiritual wiring, and uncover the growth path that fits who you truly are. You’ll also talk through your motivations, shadows, and the deeper purpose behind your Journey.

WHY IT MATTERS:

Type tests can’t do what a human guide can - hold space for your unique context, life story, and spiritual longings. This session ensures you don’t just take a test - you begin a transformative relationship with your inner compass.

ENNEAGRATION COMPASS REPORT
 

Receive a beautifully crafted, detailed roadmap for your Journey.
After your session, your guide will create a Personalized Enneagration Compass Report (PDF). A written report tailored to your Enneagram type and integration path. It includes a visual Enneagration Compass, reflection prompts, strengths, spiritual insights, and a look at how your supporting types influence your path.

WHY IT MATTERS:

Most growth journeys fizzle without a clear structure. This report becomes your printed compass - a tool you can return to when you need direction, encouragement, or a reminder of who you are becoming.

GEAR UP GROUP CALL
 

Reorient, reflect, and reconnect with fellow travelers each month. You’ll be invited to join monthly Gear Up Zoom calls for Gear Up hikers - optional 60-minute group check-ins hosted by etrek guides. Each call offers encouragement, space for questions, shared insights, and a reminder: you’re not trekking alone.

WHY IT MATTERS:

Spiritual growth can feel lonely. These calls are communal trail markers - touchstones of encouragement and re-alignment to help you stay grounded and connected throughout the Journey.

READY TO BEGIN?

The etrek Journey is always free and the Gear Up Session Package is your personal on-ramp  -  an investment in clarity, intention, and spiritual momentum. Because when you know your confident in your path, you walk with greater courage. And when you grow, the world grows with you.

GEAR UP SESSION

Click to expand any question below as you pause at the trailhead...


What is a Gear Up Session, and why would I want one? +

A Gear Up Session is a 90-minute one-on-one Zoom conversation with a certified etrek Guide. Together, you’ll confirm your Enneagram type, explore your unique integration and disintegration patterns, and orient yourself to begin the Journey with clarity and confidence.
You’ll also receive a personalized Compass Report - a written guide that captures your type, your growth path, and next steps. Many travelers describe the session as the moment their Enneagram knowledge becomes a lived map they can actually walk.

Do I really need this if I can just take a free Enneagram test online? +

Free tests can be a helpful starting point, but they often give mixed or incomplete results. The RHETI is a trusted and reliable assessment. With a certified Guide to walk alongside you, you’ll not only confirm your Enneagram number, but also learn how to understand it in depth. This session is about clarity and orientation, not just information.

I think I already know my number… is this still worth it? +

If you feel confident and grounded in your type, you may be ready to begin the Journey right away.
But if there’s still uncertainty, or if you’ve only skimmed the surface of what your type means, this session can make all the difference. Together, we’ll explore your integration path, the stress points that can pull you off course, and the growth movements unique to you. This deeper clarity equips you to begin the Journey with confidence.

What is the Compass Report? +

The Enneagration Compass Report is your personalized written guide created after the session. It summarizes your Enneagram type, your top three scores, and your triangulation (how your three strongest types interact). It also maps your integration and disintegration patterns, highlights growth practices, and offers reflection questions tailored to you.
This report becomes a reference point for your entire Journey—something you can return to again and again as you grow.

Is this therapy with a personality label attached? +

No. A Gear Up Session is not therapy. It is spiritual guidance, using the Enneagration Compass as a tool for growth and integration. While therapy focuses on healing and diagnosis, this experience is about understanding your spiritual orientation, practicing awareness, and preparing for a path of ongoing transformation.

Why does it cost $199 if The Journey is free? +

The Journey itself is free because we want to make spiritual wisdom accessible to all. The Gear Up Session is different - it’s a private, personalized experience that includes:

    • The professional RHETI Enneagram test (a $20 value)

    • A 90-minute one-on-one Zoom session with a certified Guide

    • A custom Compass Report (40+ pages) with insights tailored to you

    • Practical tools to help you begin your first leg of the Journey with confidence

Your investment covers these resources and helps sustain the wider community experience that remains open to everyone.

What if I still feel unsure after the session? +

That’s normal. Clarity doesn’t always come all at once. Your guide will give you the tools, language, and report you need to continue exploring your type and your growth movements. You’ll still be able to begin the Journey right away, and the path itself often brings confirmation and deeper understanding as you walk it.

EVERY JOURNEY STARTS AT THE TRAILHEAD

 

You don’t need Gear Up to begin your Journey. In fact, you’re free to return to the trail right now, pick your path, and start your Journey today. No strings, no pressure  -  just your presence and willingness. But if something inside you is whispering, “I want to do this well,” then pause here a little longer.

Because starting with the right gear, the right guide, and the right map can mean the difference between a short hike you forget in a few weeks… and a soul journey that changes the way you live, serve, and love. It’s kind of like learning to ski. You could strap on boots, hike halfway up, and slide around until you’re sore and frustrated. Maybe you’d give up and say skiing isn’t for you.

But… what if one private lesson helped you find your balance, feel the thrill, and discover a new lifelong love of the slopes?

That’s what the Gear Up session is for. Your guide will help you clarify your type, orient your compass, and practice real integration using the Enneagration Compass - so you can move through your Journey with wisdom, not just willpower. Because this Journey isn’t a product. It’s a path. And starting well means you’re more likely to finish whole.
