Have you ever wondered why two people can hear the same Intuitive Eating principle and have completely different experiences?
The Enneagram offers a compassionate framework for understanding the motivations, fears, defenses, and patterns that shape our relationship with food, body, recovery, and spirituality.
This ongoing class complements Surrender School’s Intuitive Eating offerings by helping participants explore each principle through the lens of the Enneagram, recovery, spirituality, and Two-Way Prayer.

About This Class
A Companion to the Intuitive Eating Principles
Each month, this class follows the Intuitive Eating principle being introduced through Surrender School’s Intuitive Eating series.
While the monthly principle introduces the core Intuitive Eating concepts and workbook practices, Intuitive Eating Through the Enneagram explores those same principles through personality, recovery, spirituality, emotional sobriety, and Two-Way Prayer.
Together these perspectives help us understand not only what we do around food, but why we do it.

Principle 6: Challenge the Food Police
The Food Police are the internal voices that judge, criticize, shame, compare, and condemn.
This month’s companion exploration examines how those voices show up differently within each Enneagram type and how recovery invites us to replace judgment with awareness, compassion, and surrender.
“What Food Police voice do I most often mistake for truth?”

The Journey Continues
Healing our relationship with food is not about becoming someone else.
It is about becoming more fully ourselves.
Through the wisdom of the Enneagram, recovery, spirituality, and Intuitive Eating, we learn to replace judgment with curiosity, fear with trust, and self-criticism with compassion.
