Instructor Frederik Coene, PhD

Frederik Coene, Ph.D., an accredited IEA Professional, dedicated his research to intimate relationships, love, and the Enneagram. Dr. Frederik is a head of a leading international research group of psychologists and relationship therapists on Sex and the Enneagram. Frederik believes that the current understanding of the Enneagram model's conceptual-theoretical aspects and the typology of motivation-based personalities as its most widespread application represents only a small part of the full potential. Frederik has dedicated his work in Enneagram to both theoretical and applied research to widen the missing knowledge.

Love, Intimacy & the Enneagram

Awareness at the Heart of Intimacy


This course explores love and physical intimacy through the deeper lens of the Enneagram, instinctual patterns, and levels of development. Rather than focusing on surface behavior, it helps you understand the inner motivations, needs, and meanings that shape attraction, desire, closeness, and distance in relationships.

Many experiences of “incompatibility” are not personal failures, but expressions of different instinctual priorities, developmental stages, or unconscious patterns. Through teaching, reflection, and guided experiential work, this course offers insight into why intimacy can feel fulfilling, confusing, or challenging—and how greater awareness can transform it.

Held in a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space, the course invites deeper self-understanding, clearer communication, and more conscious relating. It is designed for individuals and couples who wish to bring maturity, presence, and compassion into their intimate lives.

This is not about techniques—it is about meaning, awareness, and conscious connection.
