IEA Announces Relaunch Nine Points Magazine
The IEA Board is very pleased to announce that we are now ready to relaunch Nine Points Magazine in a new format - www.ninepointsmagazine.org
The new magazine is a web-based platform offering a much better way for our community to exchange ideas and information. As it is web-based it will be more immediate and we'll be able to respond much more quickly to IEA members' needs. It will be much easier for our Affiliates and Chapters to get the message out to their members and also to those we want to join us in using the Enneagram.
We are developing a section for articles in Spanish to be posted, and we hope to extend this to other languages in the future.
We want this to become the "go-to" place for news and information about the Enneagram.
IEA Members will still have the opportunity to receive a compendium of articles every quarter.
Please take a look and explore the various sections such as news, articles, and profiles, and let us know what you think. There is also a growing section on the conference where you will find lots of information about this year's conference in
As has always been the case, Nine Points Magazine can only ever be what we the members want it to be, so please give us feedback about what you see and what you'd like to see in the future, and think about what you'd like to contribute in the form of articles or news or something that we haven't yet thought about.
Best wishes,
Peter McNab,
Editor
Letter From the IEA President
Passion
Three weeks ago I had the luxury and pleasure to attend the 2013 IEA European Conference in Paris. As soon as I got off the plane, I had to run in order to participate in the European Affiliates meeting that took place the day before the conference started. There were representatives from most of the European affiliates, which account for almost half of the affiliates we have around the world, and many members from the IEA board. It was a rich and productive meeting where we shared ideas, issues, and concerns and discussed our vision for the IEA Affiliates. The conference itself started on Friday, April 12th, and was excellent in every way: very well organized, with superb presenters from many countries but focusing mainly on Europe, a beautiful location (Paris!), and there was an incredibly friendly environment that I'm sure we all enjoyed. My deepest gratitude goes to the IEA France board, for their efforts in making this conference so successful. Reflecting on this conference, and on some of the challenges that the affiliate boards and the global board share, got me thinking about what it is that makes us work on this. What is it that is so powerful that it makes us want to overcome the financial, political, or personal barriers in order to keep trying to enhance and share our knowledge of the Enneagram? The only answer I have is "Passion."

Carta del Presidente de la IEA
Pasión
Tres semanas atrás tuve el lujo y el placer de asistir a la Conferencia Europea de Eneagrama IEA 2013. Tan pronto me bajé del avión, tuve que correr para poder llegar a la reunión de la afiliadas europeas, que tuvo lugar el día previo a la conferencia. Habían representantes de casi todas las afiliadas europeas, que son cerca de la mitad de las que tenemos alrededor del mundo y varios miembros del directorio global. Fue una reunión rica y productiva, donde intercambiamos ideas, preocupaciones, problemas y discutimos sobre la visión par alas afiliadas de la IEA.
La conferencia misma comenzó el Jueves 12 de abril, y fue excelente en todo sentido; muy bien organizada, con ponentes fantásticos de todo el mundo, pero con foco en Europa, un lugar precioso (¡Paris!), y un ambiente increíblemente amigable que estoy segura todos disfrutamos. Mis sinceros agradecimientos a la directiva de IEA Francia por sus esfuerzos en hacer que esta conferencia haya sido tan exitosa.
Pensando en esta conferencia, y en algunos de los desafíos que tienen las directivas tanto de las afiliadas como del directorio global, me puse a pensar sobre lo que hace que queramos trabajar en esto. ¿Qué es tan fuerte que nos hace sobrepasar las barreras financieras, políticas o personales para seguir intentando hacer crecer y compartir nuestro conocimiento del Eneagrama?
La única respuesta que tengo es "Pasión".
