Episode 192 Laughter, Love, and Liberation: Kate Finlayson's Transformative Path

In this episode of The Real Enneagram, we had the pleasure of speaking with Kate Finlayson, actor, and creator of Dancing the Enneagram and UnDance. Kate shared her transformative journey, which began in Hollywood as an actor and evolved through her experiences with the Enneagram, Nia, dance, and various healing practices.

Kate recounted her introduction to the Enneagram in 1996 and how it profoundly impacted her relationships. She emphasized the importance of integrating physical movement and music with the Enneagram types, which she now teaches through her unique dance movement classes called UnDance. These classes focus on helping individuals connect with their bodies and emotions, allowing for a deeper experience of their authentic selves.

Throughout our conversation, Kate reflected on her healing journey, discussing the challenges of chronic pain and how movement has played a crucial role in her recovery. She highlighted the significance of being present in the body and the balance between the head, heart, and body centers of intelligence in the Enneagram.

We also explored the evolution of Kate's acting career, noting how her approach to theater has changed since embracing the Enneagram and embodiment practices. She now experiences a greater sense of freedom and connection with her audience, focusing on the joy of sharing stories rather than seeking validation.

Kate's insights into the Enneagram, healing, and the power of movement were both inspiring and enlightening. We are grateful for her presence and the wisdom she shared, and we look forward to having her back on the podcast in the future.

Thank you for joining us today, and we hope you found this episode as enriching as we did!
