Katherine Chernick Fauvre is my primary Enneagram teacher and the person who showed me what becomes possible when depth psychology is brought into real people’s lives. She has devoted decades to studying and mapping the Enneagram far beyond simple “type descriptions,” and is the creator of Tritype® and the Instinctual Stacking Patterns that inform much of the psychological work we do at The Integration.

Katherine has sat with thousands of students and clients, listening for the precise patterns underneath their stories. She has a rare ability to see people clearly without shaming them, and to name subtle dynamics in a way that makes growth feel both exact and deeply compassionate.

The practice you experience in this dojo stands on her shoulders. The way we work with Centers of Intelligence, Tritype® patterns, Instinctual Dynamics, and the nervous system is directly influenced by her lifetime of research, teaching, and one‑on‑one work. This part of the school is my way of honoring the lineage I come from and helping her contribution live in the bodies and hearts of real students, not only in books or recordings.
