To introduce a process based on deep seated Enneagram wisdom based on the Three Centres and the Levels to deal with specific personal challenges.2. To demonstrate how the Enneagram is more than just the limited Personality Type view. It is a system key to the wisdom of our soul

The Enneagram helps us awaken to how all aspects of life emerge as part of the dynamic fabric of reality. How can you participate in this movement more fully?

As you develop presence in your body, you become more capable of engaging in what might feel beyond your current understanding and experience. You begin to crystallize the willingness to receive whatever life brings to you with more grace, joy, and gratitude.

Our enneagram type is based in all three centers: mind, heart and body. In this workshop we will explore the nine somatic profiles - temperament and neurobiology, breathing patterns, body armor, emotional habit – and body-based methods for healing and personal growth. We’ll also practice some simple stretching and breathing exercises.

By exploring the Enneagram, Daniel Siegel's parenting insights, Gabor Maté's trauma teachings, and Compassionate Inquiry, you'll learn to recognize and start healing your own “t”rauma, attune to your children, and support their development.

The psychological cost of giving inadequate attention to our blindspot instinct extracts an enormous toll on our lives, one that we often feel deeply but can barely recognize the source of nor how to actually work with. The impact and full scope of what the blindspot instinct represents hasn't been adequately unpacked and understood in Enneagram work. The blindspot instinct is really the fulcrum of the personality - our instinctual fears are what underlie our type's Passion - and because we are "blind" to it, we really underestimate how the blindspot impacts us (and, because of how unconscious the instincts are and how poor a lot of the definitions out there are, a lot of people are wrong about their blindspot instinct). Despite how negative that may be, this topic fits with the theme in that to move forward in our authenticity, to actually "find the way", we need to be really clear with ourselves about what our obstacles are, what our struggles are, to have a true "accounting" of and ownership of ourselves.

Lucille Greeff

Participation in a ritual in support of personal transformation

It’s so easy to fall asleep in our relationships.  Not literally, of course, but we are easily lulled into the same old unconscious reactive patterns underlying our Enneagram type.  But the Object Relations matrix underlying the Enneagram reveals how relationships are the ideal crucible for an alchemical transformation.  We can awaken from sleepy egoic repetition, filled with rage, fear and shame, to working with our triggered reactions and releasing limiting ways of relating.  We can learn to stay awake and find freedom.

You will be introduced to the Object Relations matrix underlying the nine Enneagram type structure and learn a few tools for staying awake in your relationships.
