REACHING ACROSS THE WORLD with
Love & Enneagram
In our opening Keynote, Robert Holden explores how we can
work
with the Enneagram to love ourselves, each other, and our world. We will look through nine lenses of
the
Enneagram to deepen our understanding of love and widen our circle of love. Robert will share nine
meditations on how love can help us find our wholeness, bless our relationships, cultivate an
international heart, fuel our activism, and live our purpose.
Robert Holden Ph.D,
innovative work on psychology and spirituality has been featured on Oprah, Good Morning America, a
PBS
special Shift Happens!, and two major BBC-TV documentaries. He teaches a Love & Enneagram
program
and a Leadership & Enneagram program for clients like Dove & The Real Beauty Campaign,
Google,
IBM and Unilever. He’s the author of three books on love: Loveability, Life Loves You
(co-written
with Louise Hay), and Finding Love Everywhere: featuring 67½ Wisdom Poems to Help You Be the
Love
You Are Looking For. www.robertholden.com
REACHING ACROSS TRADITIONS: A
Tribute to Retired IEA Founder Helen Palmer & The Enduring Power of our Narratives to Unite
and
Transform Us
During the endnote session of this virtual gathering, we take the
opportunity to honor the legacy of Helen Palmer, the recently retired co-founder of the Narrative
Enneagram school with Dr. David Daniels, IEA co-founder and bestselling author. For over 45 years,
Palmer’s goal — to integrate sound psychology with spiritual method using the Enneagram
map
— has remained constant.
What started out as a group of forty individuals in
Palmer’s living room in the early 70s, over time, expanded to thousands of people who have
recognized their types by seeing and hearing panelists talk about their lives. When we share our
personal experiences and sacred narratives in a field of compassionate presence, our souls grow and
we
can more easily experience the shared humanity in each of us. As we listen to the stories and notice
the
non-verbals of speakers on a type panel, the Enneagram becomes three-dimensional – our minds
gain
insight and understanding, our hearts are touched, and our bodies experience the energies of the
types.
Host Ginger Lapid-Bogda and presenters Peter
O’Hanrahan and Terry Saracino connect our roots to our future
leading insightful conversations about the development and future of the IEA and the Narrative method.
With stories and wisdom from Palmer herself, special guests, a medley of foundational teachings and
more, we hope you'll join us!
“Your destiny is not to find love; it is to become the most loving person
you
can be.”
Loveability, Robert Holden “Let us widen our circle
of
love so as to include everyone (including ourselves).”
Robert
Holden
“Let us join together as one family to create a climate
change of fear to love.”
Robert Holden
In our opening
keynote, Robert Holden explores how we can work with the Enneagram to love
ourselves, each other, and our world. We will look through nine lenses of the
Enneagram to deepen our understanding of love and widen our circle of love.
Robert
will share nine meditations on how love can help us find our wholeness, bless
our
relationships, cultivate an international heart, fuel our activism, and live our
purpose.
The Integral Enneagram model is the integration of three main components:
The Enneagram: a profoundly enlightening human psychospiritual
model
that reveals the hidden patterns of human drives, motivational systems, survival
strategies, and meaning making methods of life.
Stages of the Mind:
the
mapping of the journey of each of the 9 Enneagram types along the stages of
cognitive capacity and complexity development. For cognitive capacity
development
the model uses the Spiral Dynamics Integral as the main backbone, in addition to
the
work of Ken Wilber, Piaget, Gebser, Maslow, and other transpersonal and
developmental scientists and their models.
Stages of the Heart: the
spiritual journey of each of the 9 types from deep fixation to a sense of
mystical
unity and oneness. The Sufi 7 stages of development of the ego/self are used as
the
backbone of the model, in addition to numerous other spiritual works from
diverse
religious and philosophical backgrounds.
The three models together
create a 3D map, providing an accurate diagnosis of the individual personality
traits, cognitive and intellectual value systems, and spiritual capacity for
presence and oneness.
Over the years I have often been quoted and paraphrased for a line I came up with
back around 1993:
“The Enneagram doesn’t put you in a box. It shows you the box you are already in
without realizing it, and the way out of it.”
Yet, so much of the popular Enneagram does much to describe the box without much
in
the way of indicating how to get out of it. And at some point if we are
sincerely
studying this, we become more interested in methods for real change—the inner
work
behind the descriptions. We start to understand that learning more and more
details
about our personality is not going to lead to the inner freedom and
transformation
we seek. In this session, Russ will look at the centrality of inner work as it
pertains to understanding the Enneagram, helping us to see why such work is
necessary to even apply the Enneagram in any meaningful way. He will explain
that
the experiential nature of such work frees us from dependence on particular
jargon
which can be off-putting in some settings. And he will explain how the inner
lines
of the symbol provide clues about directions for our work, as well as evidence
that
some authentic change and development has occurred in our psyches.
This session will introduce the history of the Enneagram and the basic Personality Enneagram teachings. Where did the teachings come from and how did they emerge or arrive in their present form? What does it mean to be a “three-centered being”? What are the functions of the Head, Heart, and Body/Gut? How do the 9 personality styles emerge from and relate to the Three Centers?
A bunch of needs that we are not really able to satisfy naturally. We have judgements, emotional patterns and what is most important lack of energy to stand for them. Recognising those limitations is the first step to change the situation. Finding where the energy goes and how to take it back is the second. But those are just the beginning to open the door to satisfaction of the blind needs because a new identity have to emerge to be able to experience fulfillment. We need conscious satisfaction experiences to make that happen. How can we build a safety net to keep ourselves conscious when we leave our insatisfaction comfort zone?
In this presentation we will explore how childhood trauma impacts the way personality operates and the ways the Enneagram map can help us understand how it shapes the different types and how it can be healed through applying type-based insights. The vast majority of people have experienced some sort of trauma in their lives, but the effect of early trauma has not been fully examined in terms of its potential role in mistyping, maintaining the rigidity of defensive type patterns, and successfully achieving real growth and transformation. We will share our views about the ways unresolved early trauma may make it harder to grow and change, but also how we can deploy Enneagram insights to address and heal trauma to move beyond the defensive patterns of the 9 types and access higher potentials. Through lecture, dialogue, case study examples, and a live demonstration in which we will work with someone to highlight the interaction of trauma and personality patterns, we will share our approach to healing trauma through applying Enneagram-based ideas about the centers, the instincts, the types, and the subtypes.
This session will go deeper into the Body Center and the three body-based personality styles at points 8, 9, 1. What are the characteristics and functions of our Moving Center? What are some of the distinguishing features of the 8, 9, 1 personality types?
Types influence and affect how each of the 9 Enneagram Types form, develop and
maintain intimate relationships. It will introduce many significant findings
from
the first study to the most recent. More specifically, it will cover what has
proven
to be significant for 26 years.
In 1996, Claudio Naranjo validated
the
first 1994-1995 Study of the Instinctual Subtypes. In 1998, The Enneagram Types,
Instinctual Drives and Intimacy was conducted to more clearly ascertain if the 3
Instincts could be statically validated. This study was university validated in
1998.
The qualitative research of the 23 studies proved to be highly
informative as to the internal experiences of the 9 Enneagram Types and 27
Subtypes.
The unexpected findings were both validating and intriguing because they came
from
the 9 types themselves.
How does the Enneagram describe the human personality so accurately? Why does it
ring
a bell so loudly?
The presenter will share insights gained in 50
years
of practice. Like many of you, he first learned the Enneagram in
seminar-lectures
and discussions. He taught it in similar fashion during residential workshops.
In
many ways, that blend of socializing and discussing was a perfect way to
internalize
the insights of the personality theory.
When businesses and
organizations asked for access to the Enneagram, many were unwilling to commit
to
lengthy workshops and residential expenses. Time is money and measurable results
are
not optional. Sharing the theory beyond North America introduced language and
cultural issues.
Pat will share how he learned to integrate the
insights
of the Enneagram into the practice of individual-counseling/therapy and
organizational-development/consulting. He learned some important techniques to
use
the Enneagram without teaching it, per se.
Join Pat as he unwraps
the
tools he developed while doing various kinds of one-on-one counseling. Small
groups
benefit from these similar interventions. Whether the process is
behavioral-change
or executive-search, the practitioner is much better equipped to attain the
desired
effect.
Larger groups benefit from some formal input. But, the
genius of
the Enneagram is how it forms visual and visceral images of behavior. The
descriptions go beyond stereotypes to reveal motivation and sub-consiousness.
These
insights can be authenticated through carefully-designed dynamics.
Everyone is creative. Whether a person makes their living with their art, dabbles
occasionally as a hobby, or flirts with the idea of doing that creative thing
that
they haven’t done since childhood, each of us has the capacity to process
our
lives and experiences through creative work. How we go about doing this is
strongly
impacted by our personality.
This panel brings together four people
working in various branches of the arts: music, theatre, literature and visual
arts.
Each person has knowledge and understanding of the Enneagram. Some have made the
Enneagram a direct subject of their art.
Over the course of this two
hour conversation, the panelists will share their work and explore the ways the
Enneagram has impacted their lives and creative output. They’ll share
insights
about their processes. And they’ll open up to all questions.
Panelists
Metaphor is a figure of speech that directly compares one thing to another for
the
purpose of illuminating information and amplifying that which is being taught.
Pictures, understood as symbol that represent something in reality, are also
metaphors for that which they represent. And so are stories, at least meaningful
"sticky" stories, stories that are transcend the individual story characters and
take our understanding to the more universal.
You'll learn how to
create and use metaphor, picture and story when you teach the Enneagram. Here's
why
learning these techniques makes such a huge difference. Most teaching focuses on
the
brain's left hemisphere that utilizes logic and categories; metaphor, picture
and
story, by contrast, enlist the right hemisphere so that multiple connections
between
things happens organically. Metaphor, picture and story also assist in
integrating
new and nuanced information at the very onset of initial information sharing
because
these symbolic vehicles covey multi-leveled information simultaneously. Even
more,
going beyond words through metaphor, picture and story are dynamic tools that
aid in
just this kind of creative problem solving. Finally, metaphor, picture and story
aid
in retention of information. People simply remember them better than just words.
As human beings we share the Universal Desire to love and to be loved. And, as
human
beings we also share the Universal Truth of being separated from the Universal
Source of Love. In this presentation we will explore the fundamental meaning of
Recovery as the Universal Journey back to the Source of Love.
Join
Anne
Geary, Founder of The Enneagram Approach, which combines the Enneagram Map and
the
Twelve Steps of Recovery, to experience a powerful and pragmatic process to
recover
your personal truth as the bridge across the divide between your Ego and
Essence.
The Enneagram is ultimately a map of non-fixated, awakened consciousness and
human
wholeness. It is universally applicable to every dimension of life - beyond
belief
systems, cultures, or modalities. In this pivotal time in our world, how can we
accelerate the integration of the authentic depth of the Enneagram to every
aspect
of life.
Where are we? Where are we going? And what’s needed
to
uplevel the full transformational potential of the Enneagram personally and
collectively?
As the Founder and Host of the Enneagram Global
Summits,
with a dedicated vision to supporting cooperation, collaboration, and creativity
in
the field, Jessica is in a unique position to talk about the potential, the
shadows,
the trends, and the calls of the Enneagram field today. We will gather to hear
about
these, and learn what we can do in our practice and life to contribute to the
Enneagram’s transformational impact for humanity. There will be learning,
sharing, experiential exercises and dialogue. We will expand our knowledge,
vision,
and orientations to empower and embody our capacity to transmit the Love,
wisdom,
presence and creativity that the Enneagram can contribute to the challenges and
promises of life and our world today.
Come connect with us! Grab your favorite libation and imbibe with other conference attendees! Let’s take a short break from all these sessions overflowing with knowledge and insights, to relax & reflect, savor this special opportunity, and connect with other Enneagram enthusiasts.
Millennials are changing the way we think about career fulfillment. They expect
more
intrinsic rewards from their careers than previous generations, and are willing
to
switch jobs more frequently. According to Forbes, "Job-hopping allows
Millennials to
have their say in the direction their career is going. They're the authors of
their
career narratives, and avoid preconceived assumptions about what their career
advancement should look like..." They also are changing how work gets done,
working
more in teams and with technology.
Hear from a diverse panel of
individuals, representing different Enneagram types from various walks of life.
We
will delve into how the Enneagram has helped them understand their greatest
career
strengths, and how the Enneagram helps them honor their own needs. Next,
participate
in an exercise to uncover your own career strengths and needs---to better guide
you
as you pave a path to greater fulfillment.
The presentation is designed to understand the function of the Moving, Thinking,
and
Feeling Centers. The proper role of the Moving Center is 'the Will to Live'. The
Thinking Center represents the 'Will to See'. The Feeling Center plays a role in
the
'Will to Be'. However, people only use One or Two Centers particularly, also
they
tend to indulge with One Center. My research is based on J.G.Bennett's work in
the
lineage of Gurdjieff.
Exercising the Gurdjieff movement, we can have
a
chance to experience the pure intelligence of each Center. Exercises are
designed to
emphasize the natural functions and the integration of Three Centers. Using
sensation, counting, and music of the Gurdjieff Movement can show us to see how
we
all are indulged with One Center or Two Centers mostly. This presentation is
meant
to be experiential and a deep understanding of your Centers.
Nature or Nurture? Where did my personality come from? The relationship of
temperament to personality in your developing children. How understanding this
connection can support parents in managing their own expectations and support
their
children in flourishing to be the best they can be.
During this
workshop
we will unpack the different temperament styles, as described by the researchers
Thomas & Chess and see how they relate to the 9 Enneagram Types.
Participants
will learn how a child's brain develop and the relationship to emerging
personality.
They will discover the importance of not labelling or typing their children too
early and how to understand the needs of each of the nine types that their child
may
be developing into and how to bring out the best of each.
Participants
will leave with a greater understanding and a feeling of competence around
supporting their children in thriving into the best versions of themselves.
Is it ethical? Is it wise? is it even possible? Accurate typing of an
individual's
enneagram style is a complex balance of adequate knowledge, plenty of experience
and
an abundance of humility. It is not without its challenges and even the most
experienced of teachers can make mistakes. We certainly have done our fair share
of
incorrect typing. We have also been involved in disagreement with our own
assessment
of our type and someone else's take on us.
In this presentation we
would
like to take a fresh, and hopefully useful, look at what we have learned around
what
works and does not work in typing people. Years of experience have made us look
back
critically, as well as with an open mind, at the often complicated and delicate
process of identifying someone's Enneagram type.
Here are the main
points we will cover in our presentation:
It would be an honor to share some of what we've learned through
decades
of experience with our colleagues. Our own mistakes have helped bring us to a
place
of either more accuracy in typing others or withholding our view and allowing a
person to do their own journey.
Enneagram and Somatic movement is an integrated approach to learning and
transformative experience. The original Enneagram teaching pointed out that the
ego-type is rooted in our anatomy. The field of somatic concern the human
ability to
experience the body from within and becoming aware of ourselves. The main
principle
is that body, emotion and thought are an inseparable continuum, thus the mind is
expressed through the body and the body through the mind.
Through
specifics somatic practices of embodiment and application of anatomical,
physiological and developmental principles we may observe and transform our
mental,
emotional and instinctual patterns. We may nail down the process of perception
by
which information are filtered, distorted, generalised, interpreted and acted
upon.
We discover how before being ordered into words, thoughts and emotions are often
felt as pictures and movements. Movement is not just a form of expression, it is
also as another sense to perceive the self and the environment. It can also be a
pathway to facilitate changes in the relationship between body and mind.
Movement
patterning influences how we process information, express ourselves and
function.
Integrated ways of moving, feeling and thinking support the manifestation of
higher
level of consciousness.
In this presentation Nataliia will be introducing the findings of her "Enneagram
for
Teenagers" and "Enneagram for Pre-teens" programs. She will be presenting the
core
findings, the methodologies suggested, and some of the techniques and exercises
she
utilizes in presenting the Enneagram to the young adults.
Nataliia
Bolshakova is an accredited professional and a co-founder of IEA accredited
school
"Enneagram Egypt". Over the years of working as a teacher and being a mother of
teenagers herself, Nataliia saw how profoundly knowing the Enneagram and
understanding children has an effect on how adults deal with them and help
children
grow in a healthy and self-accepting manner.
This session will go deeper into the Heart Center and the three heart-based personality styles at points 234. What are the characteristics and functions of our Feeling Center? What are some of the distinguishing features of the 2, 3, 4 personality types?
"Like those rank weeds, which only a soil the most corrupt can nourish, the root
of
this baneful vice must be sought among the basest passions of the human
heart-those
that degrade our nature and are reproachful to our race. Hatred, jealousy, envy,
treachery and wanton wickedness all unite in its propagation." (Samuel Walter
Burges
-"Historical Illustrations of the Origin and Progress of the
Passions.")
In the process of typing, the true meaning of passions is usually overlooked.
With
statements "carved in stone" such as "Threes are competitive or "Twos are
helpers",
we lose the deeper meaning of how our shadow works, swimming on the surface of
behaviors, which lead in time to a huge misunderstanding of the types and hence,
mistyping.
In this session, Gonzalo & Gema will lead you on a
journey through each one of the 9 passions 'definition and meaning, from
Evagrius
Ponticus to Oscar Ichazo, Claudio Naranjo, and The Sufis, going back to basics,
making you work in your own passion with a life timeline.
This highly interactive session offers a straightforward, down-to-earth, gritty
South
African discussion about race and the Enneagram. Now, more than ever, the world
needs to have these conversations to promote social justice. As Enneagram
practitioners, we do not have the right or the luxury to bypass the current
contextual reality around issues of race, equity, and inclusion.
The
session explores our own relationship with race as practitioners, allowing us to
also look at how these dynamics may play out for others. When we are able to
work
with their own racial identities and socialisation, we are then able to support
others to process their reality and context and can avoid perpetuating racial
wounding.
The session presents data collected through the AIM
questionnaire, which combines Enneagram type measurement with a sentence
completion
methodology measuring vertical development. This offers a unique view of how
maturity, Enneagram style and orientation to race intersect. We will also share
verbatims and short case studies from conversations about racial issues with
different Enneagram styles. This session is for people who care about societal
change, honest conversation, inclusion and racial awareness in their Enneagram
practice and personal development journeys.
This session will go deeper into the Head Center and the three head-based personality styles at points 5, 6, 7. What are the characteristics and functions of our Thinking Center? What are some of the distinguishing features of the 5, 6, 7 personality types?
Relationships are central to our lives and can be the source of our happiness or
sadness, but nurturing them can be hard work. In this session we will present a
model of understanding relationships – those at home or those at work
–
through the Lens of the Instinctual Biases of the Enneagram.
Not
only
the nine Ennea-types provide an understanding of the different ways we approach
life
and hence relationships—the three Instinctual Biases help us understand
the
things we value in life over others, and that when people have different
dominant
Instinctual Biases their priorities differ:
Understanding the instinctual Biases helps us to understand why we
may
get along with some people but have conflict with others, and we can use the
simple-but-deep Awareness to Action Process with the Instinctual Biases to build
on
common ground, nurturing our relations by consciously create change in our
narratives about them and our behaviors.
You will understand how and why the ego or personality exists. You will discover
that
ego is not your enemy, its goal is to help you survive when you are unable to do
it
by yourself.
Based on proven Neuroscientific theories and with very
simple examples I will explain how your ego was formed and how it is sustained
by
your brain, and what can you do to transform your life. You will understand the
two
modes of brain operation:
I will share with you my 3-step method, based on neuroscience and
the
Enneagram, to transform your life and that of your coachees.
I will
present the results and some testimonials that we have obtained with the
LIFE-360
program. An empowerment program that combines the Enneagram and Neuroscience,
that
has given results of 40% increase in the positive psychology SHS (subjective
happiness scale) proposed by Sonja Lubomirsky in positive
psychology.
At
the end, It you change your perception, everything changes...
The concept of "self" hovers over our work with the Enneagram—people talk about finding themselves, finding their "true" or "authentic" self and how it is different from their "false" self, etc. But what do we really mean when we talk about the "self"? While this might seem like an abstract and philosophical question, the way we define such terms matters because our definitions and the way we approach these terms shapes our approach to the work we do to grow. This interactive session is part dialogue, part group exploration, and part instruction. The dialogue is between two people from dramatically different backgrounds and worldviews—one with a Western philosophical and scientific point of view, the other steeped in traditional Indian wisdom. They will share how their first exchange of ideas at a conference in Paris led to an ongoing conversation that uncovered unexpected commonalities of perspective. They will explain how the way some people talk about "true" and "false" selves is inconsistent with many spiritual traditions and modern science and can actually impede our work on ourselves. Finally, they will show how rejecting this dualism and adopting an approach of embracing our complex and conflicted nature can be the foundation for growth.
This session will overview how the Enneagram is a dynamic symbol. How does energy move around the symbol and within its connecting lines? How are core personality styles influenced by -- or constituted by -- their relationship to “wing” and “connecting” points? How can the Enneagram provide a map to help us further integrate our personality styles and offer our gifts to the world?
A strong aversion to failure is commonly associated with Type 3s, but every type has a relationship with this powerful human experience, which is part of our brain's hardwired process of learning. This workshop will explore how the Enneagram can help us uncover barriers and levers to growth through understanding the unique patterns each type develops in the "before, during and after" of failure — anticipating, experiencing and learning (or not). We will share the neuroscience of experiencing a sense of failure. Participants will learn type-based practices to harness the power of failure for development for personal application and with clients.
This session will overview the three instincts and how the instincts interact with the core types to create subtypes. What are the characteristics and functions of the instincts? What are some of the features of the subtypes? What are some of the variations across teachers and schools in the naming and understanding of these concepts? How can instincts and subtypes enhance one’s experience and work with the Enneagram?
We are not truly free to thrive until everyone is free to thrive- until we all
feel
safety and support to be, express, and love who and what we love. We know this,
yet
billions of people on our planet are not as free as those identified with a
dominant
culture.
This will be an honest unplugged conversation in which
grief,
rage, love and potential are welcome - first between the panelists, and then
with
the Conference community. The Enneagram can guide individuals to liberate
oppressed
and locked parts of themselves to live an authentic and fully expressed life. It
is
one of the most powerful tools on the planet for creating equitable community,
where
all are valued. Social Equity Leaders are now using the Enneagram in powerful
and
(r)evolutionary ways to address the “othering” that happens through “isms” such
as
racism, sexism, colonialism, ageism, and gender expression, sexual orientation,
political identity and more.
The Enneagram community must also
examine
its own biases, shadows, and misconceptions so we can contribute to ending
oppression of all kinds and creating a world of interdependent honoring, caring
and
support of ALL.
In this session the panelists will each explore
these
topics from the lens of their own experience of race, gender, sexual orientation
and
culture. Then we will open a dialogue with the conference community.

Panelists
The Levels of Functioning describe how we mature within our Type. The key to that
maturation is Presence, a quality of being fully in the moment and dropping into
a
quiet mind and an open heart. In this experiential presentation, we will explore
how
to access Presence through guided exercises for inhabiting the three Centers of
Intelligence - Belly, Heart and Head.
From the perspective of
attuned
Presence, we will investigate the Levels of Functioning as true Developmental
stages, beginning with Level 9 in infancy and moving through the developmental
stages of childhood and adolescence up to average adult functioning at Level 5.
An
exercise for moving from Level 4 to Levels 3 will reveal the path of spiritual
development using the Enneagram as a guide. That exercise can serve as a
foundation
for ongoing spiritual growth.
Along the way, we will explore how
interrupted development, from the absence of Presence, creates immature and
dysfunctional attitudes and behavior in adults, expressed as Enneagram fixations
and
passions.
The experiential exercises in this presentation are
relevant
for coaches and teachers to apply in their own work using the Enneagram with
clients
and students.
With a clear vision for how the Enneagram could be taught in every jail and prison in the United States and in the world, Susan Olesek founded Enneagram Prison Project (EPP) in California in 2012. Since then, EPP has established programming in correctional facilities around the world, including California, Minnesota, Belgium, France, the United Kingdom, and soon to be Colorado, Australia, and Canada. In this presentation, IEA attendees will engage with and learn from members of the EPP community, including EPP's Founder, as well EPP Ambassadors who learned the Enneagram while incarcerated and are now EPP Board Members, Faculty, and Guides in Training. You will hear about how the project's compassionate curriculum is transforming lives, and building a compassionate community, on both sides of the bars. We will explore how the Enneagram supports our ability to belong to ourselves, and each other, in a way that illuminates the deep interconnectedness of all life. Attendees will be invited to connect with EPP's vision to free people - all over the world - from the prisons of our own making, and hear how EPP is using the Enneagram to reach across the bars, both visible and invisible, to create relationship, lead with consciousness, and inspire transformation through greater self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-compassion.
Someone's experience of their Enneagram style is multi-sensory, especially when
they
are reacting from the low side of their style. There is an underlying body
feeling,
typical emotions, a story we tell ourselves and imagery that express our
self-image
and unconscious picture of "the world." Working with imagery is especially
useful
for changing compulsive fixated reactions and outgrowing the defensive limits of
your Enneagram style.
Our self-image is deeply unconscious and
attached
to memories, roles, habitual emotions. It even has a body location. In the
trance of
our Enneagram style we are attached to our image and unconsciously believe we
don't
exist without it. Some overdefended compulsive behavior is an attempt to
maintain
this historical picture of ourselves, despite the fact that the world around us
keeps changing.
In this session we will explore, identify and
experience
how we maintain self-images related to our Enneagram styles. You will learn how
to
reduce their influence, evoke the gifts and strengths of your style and live
more
freely in the present.
Suitable for Enneagram students, coaches,
counselors, therapists, as well as anyone wanting to use the Enneagram to grow
and
change.
This session is for both men and women; for all those who want to explore ways to
continue contributing to craft the role of women in society, making the most out
of
their participation in the different domains they are part of. But doing so in a
way
that feels authentic to them. That they don't need to pretend to be someone they
are
not, in terms of gender, Ennea-type, etc.
During this session we
will
dive into the narratives of women of each type, exploring how they see the
expectations society has of them, their own, and how they see themselves. In
groups
by type, participants will explore their stories related to these expectations.
We
will then look at those stories and identify the Enneagram-related conflicts and
contradictions that arise in them.
The second part of the session
will
address the contradictions created by these narratives and how we can learn to
manage and work with, rather than against, them.
People will leave
the
session with a deeper understanding of the narratives of women of each type and
with
ideas on how to create space for women to continue contributing to society in an
authentic way.
Your "Emotional Mastery Blueprint," the pie chart of your EQ Quiz, is based on
the
Enneagram. It illuminates at a glance how much and how little you have of the
gifts
and challenges of all the Enneagram types.
More than just
determining
your type, it illustrates how all of your scores influence each other and impact
you. The result is either empowering, bringing ease and flow to your life, or
disempowering, causing stress and struggle, again and again. When you see these
relationships, your Blueprint becomes a guide to the next steps in your
growth.
When you combine this with learning how to create new neural
pathways for the change you want, change becomes easy.
You will
stand up
and move. A "light" experience of EnneaMotion will guide you in embodying some
of
the gifts and some of the challenges or "Whammies" that can get in your way.
Drawing
from my Somatic Focusing coaching practice, you will create new neural pathways
to
break through any Whammies and embody a mental, emotional and physical shift
towards
ease in living the life you want.
The Enneagram then becomes a
doorway
to your Emotional Mastery and a life with wholeness, ease and joy.
Are we allowing the full range of our human experience? How would our life be enhanced when we develop our capacity to access a full experience? From an early age, our thoughts, emotions, and ideas begin as sensory experience in the body. As our language and cognitive abilities develop, this fuller range of sensory response narrows to recognizable and predictable concepts and labels like love, joy, anger, fear. Over time we only experience the more patterned sensations associated with these labels. As our sensory abilities narrow, so does our capacity to respond to life from a broader field of depth, and presence. We often fall into habitual reactions which may not be in alignment with what is occurring in the moment. This workshop will explore how to stay present with the sensations of the body. Participants will be invited into experiencing the tissue correlations of the Instinctual Variants (Self Preservation, Sexual, and Social) and introduce participants to the 5 steps of alignment. All this to access our full experience of any moment. With this increased capacity to stay present, participants will observe personal patterns in their sensory reactions connected to their Enneagram Type. Come and play with Brian and Devon.
Most of us know that metaphors are great for communicating ideas, but did you
know
that they are also great for allowing your subconscious to bring important
understandings into consciousness? Metaphors are how we code experience. Our
deepest
wisdom about situations is held metaphorically in our psyches and influence our
approach to problems and goal achievement.
If you think of a problem
as
a barrier, you'll want "breakthrough" strategies. If you think you need to "get
to
the bottom of it," you'll "dig deeper". If you think you're "drowning", you'll
hope
for a life preserver. If you feel "stuck," you'll try to get "unstuck" to "move
forward". If your metaphor and strategies are mismatched, you won't get very
far.
Similarly, in a relationship, if one of you thinks you're starving in a desert,
and
the other feels "swamped", a satisfactory joint resolution is not likely. In
this
fun session, you'll discover how inner metaphors work. We'll elicit people's
metaphors as examples with Enneagram themes. You'll explore your own subjective
experience in new ways and discover the power of eliciting metaphors in all life
situations. Expect a lot of "ah-ha's" during the session, and even more in the
days
that follow.
Have you ever thought, "Why do I do what I do?" When it comes to decision making
-
are you ruled by your heart, your head or your gut? All three play a factor yet
one
will dominate your personality. Little has been presented on the Enneagram to
show
the system in a more accessible form using easy English and info
graphics.
The WID Factor - Why I Do What I Do - has taken the
complex
theories of the Enneagram, added insights of modern science, then translated
them
into an easy-to understand methodology which introduces a three-step practice
that
forms the basis of The Integration Movement. This practice helps you to
understand
your own Path of Purpose.
The session will also explore how peoples
different core potencies connect and the value this adds to achieving both
personal
and organisational goals.
Building on psychological studies that
reveal
three different styles of connecting, we align these styles with the WID core
potencies to explore the WID Connectivity Styles. Individuals that understand
their
motivations, become teams that understand each other, and in turn create
outcomes
with each other. WID enables people who think differently, act together, to
achieve
common outcomes.
What is the origin of your Personality type? Did it have a purpose in the history
of
human evolution? Have we discovered the biological mechanisms that might explain
our
differences? To what extent are we "nature" or "nurture"? What are the
implications
of these issues to our own possibility to change and develop as human
beings?
This presentation will invite you to explore the connections
between the Enneagram and some of the most recent discoveries in the fields of
Neuroscience, Behavioural Genetics and Evolutionary Psychology. You will be
introduced to some of the most likely biological foundations of our personality
types, and how they might have emerged in our evolutionary history, through an
interaction between the genetic heritage of our species and the changing demands
of
our environment.
You will explore your type as an "adaptive
strategy"
from an evolutionary perspective and what this means in terms of your own coping
strategies today. You will discover the possibilities that "neuroplasticity"
brings
to your own evolution as an individual. You will participate in a discussion
about
the implications of these findings for ourselves and our self-development. And
above
all, you will be surprised by a totally new perspective on the Enneagram model.
This is an innovative experiential work to discover the “Soul Child”,
the
way it operates in each Type, meet it and embrace its inner
structure.
The session is based upon work on the Enneagram symbol on the floor, through a
specifically designed exercise, inspired from both the Life Script and the
Family
Constellation techniques.
From a slightly different understanding of
the
“Inner flow” and the Enneagram arrows, the “Soul Child”,
named after A. H. Almaas and developed by Sandra Maitri is basically a part of
us
that was not held or allowed to develop at a very young age. It remained
immature at
an Ennapoint while our personality grew to the following point in reaction to
it. It
is a deeper layer within our personality structure that retains access to
Essence.
Finding this Soul child and reaching out to it allows us to
get
in contact with the Essential Qualities, that were essentially available to us
before their light was dim by the personality.
For thousands of years, sexuality and fertility formed the foundation for any spiritual belief and practice. This connection with nature was replaced by world religions, which focus on patriarchal values and repressing the forces of nature instead. The enneagram of personalities teaches us to get back in touch with our True Nature, but few dare to break the taboo on sexuality and admit that humans are sexual beings. Indeed, the understanding of human sexuality of most people in our 'advanced' civilisation is based on patriarchal stereotypes, which all too often run opposite to both ancient spiritual teachings and modern-day scientific research. The enneagram explains how our cognitive mind gives meaning to events or behaviour that have no inherent meaning apart from a biological-evolutionary function of survival. This also applies to human sexuality, with our motivations for sexual interaction depending on our specific worldview or lack of harmony between the different instinctual drives. The enneagram can explain why couples may feel sexually incompatible, why people stray, why we may feel a lack of satisfaction, etc. Understanding these aspects of sexuality should not justify certain behaviour but rather increase our empathy and invite for a mature dialogue instead of demonising the other.
At an unprecedented time of global unrest this session is designed to demonstrate the power of the Enneagram in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Anti-racism work. Diversity encompasses all the ways that we are similar and all the ways that we are different. A panel of students from the IEA Accredited 2020-21 Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Anti-Racism Training Certification for Enneagram Practitioners will share their transformative experiences through the powerful inner work & the experiential learning modules. This Cohort has representatives from every Enneagram point and represents both BIPOC & Non-BIPOC perspectives. There is representation from Enneagram practitioners ranging from counselors, teachers, therapists and influencers. The panel will discuss the challenges they faced while addressing their own implicit biases, individual racial trauma, & the inner work of unraveling their racial identity through the wisdom of the Enneagram. These Enneagram Practitioners explore the tangible solutions & results of their experience in their own fields of work across psychotherapy, relationship counseling & spiritual guidance. This enlightening session is designed to help the Enneagram community to understand how the Enneagram can be used as a powerful healing mechanism for reconnecting humanity and healing the cracks and division of our human mosaic.
This panel will feature some of our presenters and mentors on the Discovery Track. We will explore their experience of the Discovery Track and how the Enneagram teachings are best transmitted through time and across generations. What is the role and perhaps responsibility of organizations like the IEA in raising Enneagram awareness across the globe for the next generation of enthusiasts, practitioners, teachers, and coaches? What is the role of social media? We will explore the tension between quantity and quality of Enneagram teachings as they are transmitted to the next generation.

This presentation will explore 5 basic emotional needs for: secure attachments;
autonomy/competence/identity; freedom to express needs and emotions;
spontaneity/play; and realistic limits/self-control.
If these 5 core
emotional needs are not sufficiently met, we might fashion 18 maladaptive
schemas
grouped under these 5 areas.
What’s not to love here? We’ll see what research has
shown
about which enneagram types prefer which maladaptive schemas. And we’ll
consider alternate adaptive schemas to replace these not-so-helpful ones.
During the endnote session of this virtual gathering, we take the opportunity to
honor the legacy of Helen Palmer, the recently retired co-founder of the
Narrative
Enneagram school with Dr. David Daniels, IEA co-founder and bestselling author.
For
over 45 years, Palmer’s goal — to integrate sound psychology with
spiritual method using the Enneagram map — has remained
constant.
What started out as a group of forty individuals in Palmer’s living room
in
the early 70s, over time, expanded to thousands of people who have recognized
their
types by seeing and hearing panelists talk about their lives. When we share our
personal experiences and sacred narratives in a field of compassionate presence,
our
souls grow and we can more easily experience the shared humanity in each of us.
As
we listen to the stories and notice the non-verbals of speakers on a type panel,
the
Enneagram becomes three-dimensional – our minds gain insight and
understanding, our hearts are touched, and our bodies experience the energies of
the
types.
Host Ginger Lapid-Bogda and presenters Peter O’Hanrahan
and
Terry Saracino connect our roots to our future leading insightful conversations
about the development and future of the IEA and the Narrative method. With stories
and wisdom from Palmer herself, special guests, a medley of foundational teachings
and more, we hope you'll join us!
The goal of "Enneagram and Personal Power©", we would like to present is the
result of combining the Enneagram, a universal powerful tool for understanding
the
human being with "The Keys to Personal Power Management three A©", and" the
Star of Self-realization©" both designed by me. This is the result of ten
years' work observation and experience with Enneagrams in business contexts,
training and coaching more than 1,000 persons, and the wish to offer an
operational
tool to foster personal development in professional contexts where effective and
efficient results are required. "The Enneagram of Personal Power©"
describes
the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that each ennea-types must promote to
develop
every competencies that allow to reach self-realization. This model, used in
coaching and training contexts, helps professionals, in a simple way, to
understand
the work to have to be done to free their talent — to connect to their
Self-
and to find easier to remember what to do always - Consciousness. In short, it
is a
model that aims to bring the spiritual world within the business world in an
understandable and practical way to perform.
This model used for
almost
a year in business contexts has been successfully presented one times in
Congress of
Enneagram.
The true beauty of the Enneagram is the fact that it´s a useful and
powerful tool for personal growth and development. But also, the symbol itself
and
its brilliant geometrical construction and inherent mathematical symmetry in
fact
holds quite a bit of beauty, too.
This session is about the
mathematical
beauty embedded in the Enneagram an consists of three parts, each corresponding
to
one of the three elements of the Enneagram symbol, the circle, the triangle and
the
sequence of the numbers 1,4,2,8,5 and 7.
Some of the visible and
the
invisible geometrical formations and numerical sequences in the Enneagram will
be
shown along with the magic of the number nine, the core number of the Enneagram.
Furthermore, the Fibonacci sequence, the sphere and the platonic solids and
their
connection to the Enneagram symbol will be discussed.
Participants
of
the workshop will also find out three ways of constructing/designing the
Enneagram
symbol with compasses, ruler and protractor.
This presentation will focus on the journey towards wisdom through the Essential
Enneagram Approach (by Cris Bolívar), a comprehensive and integrated
vision
that accompanies our alchemical journey towards harmonization, a transpersonal
philosophical-psycho-spiritual view for transformation, development of
spirituality
and consciousness. The Essential Enneagram Approach is the application of the
principles of Essentiality with a focus on wisdom.
Throughout the
presentation, the transpersonal process will be revealed from the egotype, the
healing of the wound, the enneatypes, the completeness of the Being, the holy
ideas
towards wisdom.
For this, key concepts of Essentiality and Alchemy
will
be contributed, with their nigredo, albedo and rubedo phases and what they
represent
in the journey of transmutation of the Being, relating them to the laws and the
different levels and stages of the Being of the Sufi Enneagram.
With
an
active methodology, reflections, debate, meditations, examples, applications and
useful tools will be interwoven both for personal development and to accompany
others through Essential Coaching. A presentation aimed at discovering powerful
and
innovative elements of the Essentiality, revealing and inspiring both for
Enneagram
experts and for people who are new to it.
This presentation will address the correlation between the Enneagram types and
their
predominant Relational Needs and the correlation of Basic Life Scripts with the
triads.
The Relational Needs are based on Richard Erskine’s
(Integrative psychotherapist) work where he describes 8 relational needs and to
which I have added the 9th (with his consent) in order to correlate each
enneatype
with a predominant relational need.
The Basic Life Scripts are based on Transactional Analysis and
specifically on Claude Steiner’s Book “Scripts People live”
where
he concludes there are 3 Basic Life scripts which I will correlate with the
triads:
I will present the theory with power point and provide written
material
to participants so they can identify themselves individually. Then they will
contrast their finding in breakout groups by triad and enneatype, followed by
Q&A.
What if we could combine the new modern way of using the Enneagram with the
original
wisdom of the Enneagram without losing anything but instead enriching the way we
engage with the Enneagram and what if we could reach across time bringing the
earlier practical mindset of Gurdjieff and Ichazo into our present and future
only
to broaden the understanding of ourselves and the community we live in. In this
workshop you will be introduced to some of the original mindset about the
Enneagram,
where the focus was less "How do I find my type?" and more "How do I integrate
all 9
Points in my personal development?". We will explore the unique psychological
and
spiritual openings from each Point, and examine how every Point has profound
human
qualities to be explored no matter what type you can relate to.
If
you
are new to the Enneagram you will discover a more flexible approach to the
Enneagram, while more experienced enthusiasts will explore new practical ways of
integrating the original teaching in their personal practices, teaching or
coaching.
Prior to the abrupt worldwide life and work altering impact of the 2020 pandemic, our global businesses, leaders, and teams were already navigating the norm of constant change with varying effectiveness. Across industries, change is related to needed and steady innovation, new technologies and increasing connection personally and professionally across cultures and systems. Why have some leaders and organizations been more successful navigating pandemic change challenges? Our role as coaches and consultants supports awareness of potential communication, engagement and strategy strengths and blind spots that may impact best practice change leadership. Research supports the established relationship between individual personality and behavior impacting change management and change leadership. The Enneagram provides key insights to illuminate where clients may have opportunity to recommit, revise and reestablish their personal, and thereby influential, change readiness and resilience. This session introduces Nine Leader Ideals based on each Enneagram style as well as a suggested "frame" to support coaching and consulting strategies for change-related development.
In this presentation, participants will be guided on a journey through the 9
Points
of the Enneagram, through a deep and invigorating state of hypnotic
trance.
Each of the 9 points (frequencies or energy Rays) will be
experienced by the 3 centers of intelligence (mind, heart and body), through
images,
visualizations, emotions, colors, symbols, sensations, sounds and body
reactions.
At each enneagram point, regardless of the participants
Enneagram Type, a vertical journey will be done. Starting from the lower
frequencies
and moving towards the higher frequencies, each person will recognize within him
(her) self these energies and consciousness transitions.
The
presenter
as a teacher, author and trainer in the themes of Enneagram and Energy Work for
the
last fifteen years, will provide a safe and loving container for this deep
journey.
It will be a profound, subtle, exciting and healing experience.
Join
us
in moving through the sacred symbol and the energies of the multidimensional
Enneagram. This presentation will reverberate for a long time in the waters of
your
consciousness.
Our work around our Enneagram type can be powerful in dismantling white supremacy
and
creating equity. Antiracism is a commitment to actively doing your personal work
around topics of power, oppression, and privilege. The intersections between our
own
personal Enneagram type work and our identity work give us rich fodder for this
commitment.
Looking at the culture of whiteness (the construct), the
ways we've been socialized, and the work around our Enneagram type can help us
create a new world of equity. Exploring embodied reactivity through the
instincts,
the emotional reactivity through the passions, the mental reactivity through the
fixations, and the protections found in the defense mechanisms gives us a
framework
for deeper antiracism work.
This presentation will review a
framework
used with clients who are setting the foundation for their antiracism journey,
utilizing the Enneagram transform their inner work to their work in the world.
Each enneatype has classic emotional tendencies and coping strategies. Sometimes
these strategies work pretty well for us, but often we see ways they create
trouble
for us and others.
Emotions are essential for our heart's compass
and
well-being. However, most of us struggle to be with our aversive emotions
(sadness,
fear, anger). We may over-identify with our feelings or want to get away from
them
as quickly as possible. This has us miss out on their transformative
potential.
Learning how to navigate emotions in a way that helps
understand them and allow them to move through us can be life-changing. Even
emotions that have had us feeling vulnerable or helpless in the past have the
potential to be important allies for our soul.
You will learn
practices
to host your emotions consciously— with respect and care, but not
indulgence.
You will learn to shift toward having your emotions instead of letting them have
you.
Through lecture, exercises and discussion, you will expand your
capacity to transform emotional reactivity and avoidance into alignment,
healing,
and fuel for change. Using our three centers, let's reach beyond our usual
strategies to experience ourselves in fresh, generative ways!
"Reaching Across..." includes reaching out across the depths and dimensions of our
being and our psyche. Within this session, we'll explore the transpersonal nature of
the Enneagram symbol using mat work. This technique incorporates systemic
constellation, the Enneagram and the Holy Ideas & Virtues. The Enneagram symbol
contains access to the universal language of the collective unconscious. Within it,
we can access numerous aspects that make up our human and spiritual experience.
Using the spiral movement that I personally experienced through levels of
development and consciousness, I applied this onto the mat using the client's
personal triangle.
Within this session, attendees will be; given a
step-by-step demonstration to use the technique The Spiral Staircase©; introduced to
some suggested affirmations that can be used for each type at the various stages of
the process, and bonus access to the full demo.
The success or failure of a project is often the result of its the Project
Manager.
They're professionals who must have extensive knowledge in project management,
but
they must also have great skills in management and team building, to achieve the
expected results, on time, with the required quality at the lowest cost in order
to
obtain the greatest benefit. Therefore, for organizations are becoming more and
more
important to have Project Managers who are better prepared to deal with
challenges
and people.
With my personal experience, I've realized how useful
it's
to use instinctual biases in order to develop and obtain the maximum performance
in
the Project teams.
The knowledge of the instinctual biases allows us
to
be able to identify the possible strengths and weaknesses of our teams, where
they'll over focus their attention and what they'll neglect. Moreover, it'll
allow
us to handle more efficiently our coaching sessions and managing better any
possible
conflicts that may appear during the Project.
Attendees will leave
the
session with a practical knowledge of how Project Managers be reaching across
projects successfully by understanding instinctual biases for leading project
teams.
"A Taste of Dancing the Enneagram" invites you to take a playful and courageous
somatic dive into the three centers -- Belly, Heart and Head -- focusing on
Types 1,
3, and 6. A short slide show with an introduction to each center and type will
begin
your journey into expanding awareness of body sensations, energy, and
expression.
Nia Educator Kate Finlayson will share the profound gifts and challenges of each
type as well as the correlating movement form from the Nia Technique. She has
artfully assigned each of Nia's nine movement forms from martial, dance and
healing
arts to the nine types, as well as music that enhances the chemistry of each.
Beginning with breathing and meditation into each center, Kate creates a safe
and
fun environment for exploration and discovery. Participants are encouraged to
play
with the flavors of each, utilizing mantras from Andrea Isaacs' Enneamotion and
integrating body, mind and heart with music, movement, and reflection. No
experience
is necessary, and all will be asked to move in their own body's way.
The
"Dancing the Enneagram" PlayBook is a wonderful guide to use with this
experience
and is available online through Lulu.com.
Our creative expression is a mirror of our lives. Yet many of us fear exploring
our
potential. In this three-part workshop, you’ll discover the creative
blocks of
each Enneagram Type, and how you can use each Type’s gifts to reach
creative
breakthroughs.
Focus: Creativity in any form—music, art,
creating
a company, designing an app… No art experience required.
Requirements:
Part 1: Blocks and Breakthroughs. Head. Theory.
Part 2: The Art of Expression. Action/Body. Two exercises for
audience
participation. You are invited to actively explore your creativity through the
lens
of one of the Types.
Part 3: Heart-centered feedback Heart. Sharing
your
journey.
As an Enneagram teacher, registered psychologist and a musician, Bernadette
wanted to
create a Enneagram resource with a bit of a difference; something informative,
that
at the same time was dynamic, entertaining and hopefully appealing to a new
generation of Enneagram enthusiasts. She wanted to create a resource that helps
to
simplify the core messages each of us needs to hear in order to emerge from the
fog
created by the limiting personality patterns of our minds and to put these
messages
to music so that they can be easily accessed when needed.
This is an
album of nine unique songs that aim to capture, in both the lyrics and the music
itself, the essence of each of the personality styles described in the
Enneagram.
The songs are experiential in nature - as we immerse ourselves in the music,
listen
to the lyrics and deeply follow the messages to which they are pointing, we can
actually move closer to the present moment and into expansive
awareness.
These songs take us on a musical journey through the different mental and
emotional
structures that are so profoundly described in the Enneagram, allowing us to
experience, contemplate and feel into each part of the whole and the different
pathways to presence that are available to us all.

We are living a world crisis that has created uncertainty in all human beings and nobody has escaped to it's consequences. Due to this crisis, we all have developed certain behaviors originated from fear, sadness and anger and as we know not everybody experiences the actual reality the same way and they are related to our three intelligences according to the Enneagram and the way, depending in our personality, one particular emotion provokes certain behaviors. Thus, not all of us has the same survival strategy because each reality can be different and can be seen and lived in a different way. And it could as well, be an opportunity to understand each one's way of dealing with uncertainty. On the other hand, regarding the literary world, this could be an opportunity to create characters taking in consideration the different behaviors and survival strategies coming from the Enneagram personalities and to be aware the way each one of us has created a novel of our lives in which we play the main character created from a survival strategy face to adversity.
People are overwhelmed with life and work stresses and difficulties. Normal
challenges are compounded by undue amounts of secondary stressors, like the
pandemic
with its rippling affect into every facet of life. Many feel
disconnected.
High levels of stress eventually call us to find more
adaptive ways to connect to others, reduce our suffering, and the suffering
others.
One area of the Enneagram, the Instinctual Biases, offers a
powerful understanding of how we interact with others based on what we value,
care
about, where our attention goes and behaviors follow. By clearly understanding
how
these three biases work in us, we learn how or when our habits of thought and
behavior are useful, or possibly un-useful. We can then cultivate our natural
strengths and make any desired changes so we feel better and ultimately connect
in
more satisfying ways.
During this session, we'll explore the nature
of
the Instinctual Biases and the stories we create connected to these biases, to
understand more clearly how they enhance or limit our connections. In the second
part of the session, we'll identify areas of desired change and simple tools to
begin incremental steps towards reaching out to others in more connected,
adaptive
ways.
The Enneagram is a powerful tool that unlocks for many both what we offer the
world
and how we get in the way of that offering. Over the past several years we have
shared the Enneagram with both the homeless community and people in generational
poverty through the unique workshop, Grit to Great(er), and have witnessed this
same
unlocking.
Join us as we share the impact of increased
self-awareness,
personal regard, and future visioning that has resulted in marginalized
communities
through this unique Enneagram workshop that has the power to impact social
justice
and societal change in our communities. Explore with us what adjustments are
needed
of us as a profession as the Enneagram footprint is being extended beyond
traditional lines. There will be opportunity throughout the session for both
Q&A, but more importantly robust discussion around this innovative
application
of the Enneagram and what adjustments it asks of us.
Many of us do spiritual work on the deepest levels possible. called soul work,
the
process of knowing our innermost being is an immense undertaking. many of us
immersed in spiritual work, are focused on the level of personality. But our
truest
identity is far beneath the ego and the personality. Our truest identity is our
soul.
When we know the qualities that compose our soul and how we
manifest them or not, we have a greater understanding of what our deepest inner
work
must address.
In this presentation, you will find and experience the
unique qualities of your own soul through lecture, teaching, guided imagery,
visual
aids, video and interactive discussion, you will understand the nine soul types
as
well as the Enneagram of soul. Applications for soul types and the Enneagram of
soul
will be presented for the individual and for collectives.
If we know
our
souls, we know what motivates us on our deeest levels, and if we reconnect with
our
essential nature and goodness we see the way to peace. Reaching across from ego
to
soul is a game changer for our way of moving and perceiving the world. And that
amazing "reach" enables us to understand, to communicate with and to affirm our
fellow souls wherever on earth they may be. This workshop is based on the work
of
Dr. Joe Howell in his new book, Know Your Soul: Journeying with the Enneagram
into
Inner and Outer Peace, Crossroad Publishers. In Press.
The state of Unity and the realization that we are all inherently connected
dominates
spiritual teachings. Oneness is contained within the Enneagram symbol itself.
But
what allows this teaching to become real and integrated? What is it that blocks
this
experience and what supports it? We might start by asking "Who is the one
connecting?" and "What does one connect from?" Thus, this session focuses on
heart
consciousness.
The emerging body of work named EnneaCrossings(TM)
integrates two powerful symbols that reflect the spiritual journey: the
Enneagram
and the cross-cultural cross. This integrative symbol helps us move toward less
self
as we have known it and toward non-duality and interconnectedness. It includes
four
intersections between our horizontal (finite) and vertical (Infinite) natures.
For
this session, we focus on the intersection of Communion which links Enneagram
points
7 and 2 and connects directly with the heart center.
You are invited
to
use a personally relevant question as a reflective touchstone throughout this
session which includes lecture, meditation, inquiry and somatic awareness. The
ever-present dynamic of push-pull between our finite and Infinite natures is
especially evident in the heart center, along with the potential for
reconciliation.
In this session we will explore the nature of the inner observer from
perspectives in
cognitive science, adult ego psychology and mysticism, discovering what it is
thought to be, evidence for why developing the capacity for self-observation is
so
beneficial, and some of the practices that are found to most enhance
it.
As Enneagram teachers, coaches and practitioners, how is a self-reading system
like
the Enneagram, a map and a mirror of the psyche, helpful in cultivating
self-observation (from meta-cognition to interoception), and where do we need to
find processes to meet its content and avoid the pitfalls of getting stuck in
typology?
This session draws on my PhD research in this field, and
will
involve a presentation as well as experiential processes to access and
experientially explore different inner states.
Exploring Enneagram pairings when in conflict/stress and giving them tools to benefit their conflict resolution. Types covered will be, types 7 and 9, types 1 and 6, types 4 and 8 and types 2 and 5, types 3 and 6. It will be a beginning discussion to give any combination of pairing a deepened communication skill set. When we meet the need of the other and of ourselves we begin to deal with the cause not the just symptom or behavior. We would use the wisdom of the Enneagram to deal with the deeper cause of the problem. I will cover in "general" some ways (learned in marriage preparation facilitation retreat work,) to achieve authentic intimacy skills for all 9 types and "specific" ideas for the Enneagram pairs that would benefit their conflict resolution work. Other good contributions would be added in the discussion part of the format, because there is always wisdom in the group . We will look at specific security and stress states within 2 types and use Enneagram wisdom, and practice to work the problem through. For example we will name the passion that may have a hold on the type in stress or conflict as well as their blindspot and give ways to work through their blindspot and passion. For example type 9 Peaceful mediator may miss that they were "ignoring type 7 all week," so says type 7, but with type 9 naming and owning their own passion of sloth/withdrawal and blindspot-avoidance of conflict may see or be reminded of their truth and state of stress. With type 7 naming and owning the passion of gluttony (allota much) and blindspot of avoiding limits, as their stress reaction, they see how they may have contributed to the conflict (how it happened,) and can go for a win -win. I'd like to present scenarios showing insights for problem solving for the specific pairs and open it up for discussion. 60% presentation, 30% discussion and 10% experiential writing exercise processing the conflict using new found awareness and aligned centers of head heart and gut.
Do you experience frustrating relationship patterns with your partner? Would you
like
to learn how to improve communication and conflict resolution by understanding
and
shifting type habits? When partners in a couple struggle to reach each other,
it's
often because they are running up against the limitations of their Enneagram
type.
This presentation will focus on two angles: Areas of growth specific to your
Enneagram type for true fulfillment in your relationship, as well as ways to
reach
your partner in accordance with the habits of their type.
This
presentation will explore:
Sharing from Cindy Leong's 5-year research on 1to1 coaching sessions with 1000 singles, let's dive deep to understand why are some eligible individuals finding it hard to fall in love here in Asia. Also the "Resident Love Expert" on Mediacorp FM Class 95 (the number 1 radio station in Singapore), join us to also receive practical tips on how to keep your relationships strong, especially in challenging times like this.
This intermediate workshop will introduce participants to the phenomena of psychological and spiritual bypassing, how they differ and interact, and how they impact our Enneagram theory and practice. We will review materials from John Welwood, Robert A. Masters and other transpersonal psychologists to understand spiritual bypassing and why it has been such a hot topic of discussion these past 25 yrs. Then we will look at Roberto Assagioli and his psychospiritual system known as Psychosynthesis in order to better understand what has become known in some circles as psychological bypassing, which is a "tendency to get overly fascinated with and absorbed in our own personal process. It can be so fascinating to delve into our emotions, archetypes, dreams or relationships... To treat this kind of self-examining as the ultimate journey is to risk becoming narcissistic, a kind of'emotional junkie'..." Special emphasis will be on the famous Egg Diagram of the human psyche by Assagioli, as well as his descriptions of the Higher and Lower Unconscious, and how we may, for various reasons, dynamically repress the Higher Unconscious to our detriment. We will discuss the possibility that we may have an "enlightenment drive" (Almaas and Maitri) and "metaphysical instincts" (Shirazi).
Coaching is now widely seen as a core skill for any future leader and is used by two thirds of businesses around the world. Coaching and Enneagram for leaders are an effective tool for improving performance that it is now recognized as a vital skill for any line manager wishing to develop their career. In this interactive session we will experience how to use 3 centers of the Enneagram to create a "Solution Focused Mindset" for leaders to grow and to empower their team for a better performance. We will discover how to collaborate with leaders with the Enneagram and leadership coaching to experience new motivational level of development. The purpose is to learn how to manage Leadership challenges with the Enneagram enabling different insights and create an impactful result with the Leadership Coaching. Participance will come away with an understanding of leadership coaching and how it relates to the Enneagram for a better outcome in organizations. In practice and engagement with the participants they will realize how Leadership coaching is powerful with the 3 centers in result of creating a growth mindset for a leader.
"Most of us were trained in a zoo, but we operate in a jungle" (Sonja
Blignaut).
VUCA is not a theory anymore. Our Schools and
Universities
prepare us for a predictable world of business strategy and project plans. We
are
trained for "order". Our office buildings, bureaucratic hierarchies, org design
structures look like Zoos, even Coffee stations has a designated place. We have
a
10-year business plan, but we do not know what will happen next week is our new
reality. The jungle (Covid 19) crossed over to our "ordered" cities, businesses,
schools, and way of living. Our ordered Zoo life has been challenged.
However, in a jungle, we instinctively know we have to look after ourselves
(watch
where we step), have one on one relationships (connect with individual others)
and
participate in Groups (if not, I am food). I will share examples of how the
Enneagram Instincts are all dancing harmoniously in natural ecosystems and what
it
means for effective human systems.
This session will also explore
how an
Increased level of mindfulness and a good understanding of Complex Adaptive
system
principles (jungle), enable us to Thrive, not just Survive in a new normal.
In this lecture i will show the results of my research in the writing of my patients about what really causes people to change their behaviors. From Graphology, the Enneagram and conscious breathing, let us know what the traits of the enlargement of consciousness and with place in our brain are they from. What will be able to make people change? What this talk and find out your point of change.
In this workshop, you will be introduced to the idea of Progressive Psychology, including using the Enneagram of Personality in a clinical setting. The workshop will introduce licensed clinicians to the use of the Enneagram in their therapeutic environment, including how to partner the Enneagram with a variety of therapeutic modalities and techniques. The workshop is designed to introduce individuals who are currently licensed in the mental and behavioral health field to explore progressive models and methods of treatment outside of traditional practice, including the Enneagram Mapping Method (EMM). The Enneagram Mapping Method consists of three phases: Uncover, Recover & Discover. Participants will learn to use the Enneagram of Personality to help clients 1) Uncover the potential aspects of their personality/world view that are causing them pain or disruption (knowingly or unknowingly), 2) Recover using the Enneagram Mapping Method with their clients' individualized Enneagram results to help them MAP (Make A Plan) treatment planning and therapy and 3) Discover the possibilities of living from a more awakened perspective.
This interactive workshop weaves the breathwork meditations of Kundalini Yoga
with
the habits of attention and personality styles of the Enneagram. The session
offers
an overview of each Enneagram type including the somatic experience of each
habit of
attention. The workshop then invites the audience to participate in nine
Kundalini
Yoga meditations, one specific to each Enneagram type. These meditations can be
practiced by people of all physical abilities, and the workshop is geared to
accommodate a range of people new to the Enneagram and very advanced
practitioners.
Kundalini Yoga, the yoga of awareness, is a
technology
specifically designed to strengthen the nervous system and increase breath
control.
The breath, yogically referred to as the steering wheel for our thoughts, is
developed and refined through the meditations of Kundalini Yoga. Kundalini Yoga
offers thousands of meditations and in this workshop, you learn specific
meditations
to help address the challenges of each habit of attention. In as little as a
three-minute daily practice, you can begin to experience the benefits of
increased
breath control and how your breathing affects your thoughts.
Through a card deck with a graphic universe loaded with symbolism and in which we
have captured years of study and work with the Enneagram, we want to provide a
practical tool, that allows women that are just starting to walk their path of
personal development and those professionals that work with women and want to
incorporate this information on their profesional practices, to explore and
develop
the nine dimensions or goddesses that live within each woman, so they can access
new
ways of seeing the world, enhance their skills and integrate their gifts to live
a
more fulfilling life.
Within this symbolic universe, each goddess
belongs to an element or energy center (fire = instinct, water = emotions, air =
mind), has an animal that represents the goddess strategy, a flower that
representes
what that goddess has to offer to those around her in terms of her gifts and
virtues, an object that represent the holy ideas, and a crystal that allow the
woman
to connect with the essence of the goddess.
This workshop will take the participants through physical exercises, movements that are designed to express the energies, ideas and feelings of each of the types. The Enneagram is not designed to place you in a type box. The Enneagram in designed to teach us about the importance of each center and how to align them. Too often we sit in a chair, listen and intellectualize the ideas around these energies. The feeling through movement and sensation can bring a new level of understanding to the Types.
Your Vitality Personality is the highest expression of your EnneaType. It is the
antidote to your unconscious "Ego-Driven" compulsion toward self-sabotage. It
frees
you to choose "Consciousness-Directed" behaviors that generate vitality - the
joyful
state of physical, mental and spiritual well being. Your ego is your survival
mechanism, driving behavior that creates conflict and destruction. This is your
default wiring -- when you are unaware of yourself, your ego automates your
thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Your Higher Consciousness is the
real
you—a powerful, eternal energetic being. In regularly connecting with this
aspect of yourself, you become your best self, which heals, restores, and
uplifts
you. The journey moving out of Ego-Driven and into Consciousness-Directed
behavior
is the process of awakening. It is not necessarily easy or fast. And yet, coming
awake to yourself is the only way out of a painful existence, and is the most
empowering, exciting work you will ever do.
Learn more about your
EnneaType's inherent Ego-Driven Survival Belief, Compulsion, and Survival
Behavior,
which combine to create your specific Sabotage Pattern...and how to free
yourself
from these through embracing your Consciousness-Directed Vital Truth,
Liberation,
and Vitality Behavior, creating a new life of vitality that serves your Highest
Purpose.
Parents are ready to move away from authoritarian and permissive models of parenting towards relationship-based models that focus on healthy attachment and connection. Great parents know that a culture of connection in the home is built on a foundation of Presence. The Enneagram reveals what blocks our capacity to be present to our children and how our parenting "blind spots" prohibit the very connection we seek. The Enneagram also helps us to answer the question, "Who is showing up to parent — YOU — or your personality pattern?" As we learn to be more Present, we come into contact with our own inner adult or "Essence Parent", the part of us that has the capacity to hold not only our own big reactions with compassion, but our children's big feelings as well. This compassionate holding and awareness starts to soften our personality's contractions and allows us to grow into the leaders we most want to be as parents. Real life examples will be given of parents who have used the Enneagram to create deeper connections with their children, to heal their own lost childhood messages, and to transform difficult parenting moments into opportunities for spiritual and psychological growth.
Golf is a sport that requires great strength of mind as well as great skill. Many
golfing experts agree that the golf game is 90% mental yet the majority of
practice
by golfers is working on their swing technique at the driving range. As Bobby
Jones
says; "Golf is a game that is played on a five-inch course — the distance
between your ears."
This is where the Enneagram comes to the fore!
By
helping golfers understand the unconscious patterns that prevent them from
playing
their best golf allows each individual to begin to increase their self-
awareness
and ultimately their self-mastery. Each type appears on the golf course in
different
ways, different things trigger them and their reactivity is more easily
understood.
By working with groups and individuals to understand themselves better their
golf
will ultimately improve.
This presentation will introduce new
concepts
and data gained from research done with over 60 golfers.
Perhaps working only on Type Egofixations we are limiting our seeking. What if we discover we have to work on other shadows than the fixation corresponding only to our Type? When we understand the multidimensional System the Enneagram is, we can trace richer paths of transformation. In this session we will explore 2 dimensions of personality and discover what potential Egofixations could have settled down in our personality according to our balanced or unbalanced energy flows (Naranjo´s Polarities), or according to how structural layers of personality have decanted (Naranjo's Symmetries); We will explore these potential Egofixations and its Antidotes to facilitate transformation reaching across growth beyond Type. Participants will be able to dowload handouts from the Conferencee App to work within groups through interactive conversations. They will be able to find out which potential Egofixations they share with other Types. Participants who would like to explore more thoroughly the present resources or potential fixations of their personality will be encouraged to take previously an online assessment and receive the results to work with during the session by contacting viviana.trucco@gmail.com to receive the password.
When things do not go as planned, it is kind of a crisis. In a crisis, people change their behaviour from their normal habits. This can be either good or bad. The instinctual bias is, in fact, an instinctive focus of our attention on certain things. It is natural that in a crisis, our attention tends more than normal to what is important to us. That is an instinctual bias behaviour. The instinctual bias can help us cope better with a crisis or, conversely, it can be an obstacle on the way out of a crisis.
The enneagram has been for years a technique or philosophy of life very accepted and used in spirituality, psychology and self development leaving a whole space for organizations from the perspective of inclusion of all structures within oneself first and then inclusion with other human beings. Inclusion requires an open mind that allows us to naturally include all classifications of archetypes in ourselves, understanding that we are not only one, but lovingly and harmoniously including the search for the structures that are in the circle of the enneagram to be one.
In the workshop the participants will learn and have a possibility to try out an evidence-based coaching and therapy tool Mind-Body Bridging (MBB) which increases self-regulation skills and coping strategies while promoting psychological resilience and find the connection with the enneagram. MBB helps us to notice the difference when our brain is not functioning at best filling the mind with clutter, the body with tension and we experience stress, and then learn to access the natural resources of our brain and mind. MBB has research evidence of being effective for eg. treating with stress, PTSD, anxiety, sleep problems and addictions. It also has been proven to be useful in organizations, as part of leadership development trainings as well as in team and individual coaching. It will be explored the connection between the enneagram and MBB eg. how MBB exercises can be helpful in finding the enneagram types the person resonates with the most and how the enneagram and MBB can be integrated in coaching in developing resilience.
You are your voice. Your struggle, passion, fixation, past, present and potential
can
all be heard through the vibrational frequency of your sound, your
voice.
In my work, most clients reported that the types they
understood
the least were the head types. To reach across to and with the head types, voice
provided a perfect channel for us to understand more deeply about the
types.
Voice connects with both your body and your heart. It is a
perfect pathway for the head types to get out of the head, make breakthroughs
and
achieve growth, so they can reach across to the other types, in a more
meaningful
and authentic way.
Everyone is creative. Whether a person makes their living with their art, dabbles
occasionally as a hobby, or flirts with the idea of doing that creative thing that
they
haven’t done since childhood, each of us has the capacity to process our lives
and
experiences through creative work. How we go about doing this is strongly impacted
by
our personality.
This panel brings together four people working in
various
branches of the arts: music, theatre, literature and visual arts. Each person has
knowledge and understanding of the Enneagram. Some have made the Enneagram a direct
subject of their art.
Over the course of this two hour conversation, the
panelists will share their work and explore the ways the Enneagram has impacted
their
lives and creative output. They’ll share insights about their processes. And
they’ll open up to all questions.
Panelists
Nature or Nurture? Where did my personality come from? The relationship of
temperament to
personality in your developing children. How understanding this connection can
support
parents in managing their own expectations and support their children in flourishing
to
be the best they can be.
During this workshop we will unpack the
different
temperament styles, as described by the researchers Thomas & Chess and see how
they
relate to the 9 Enneagram Types. Participants will learn how a child's brain develop
and
the relationship to emerging personality. They will discover the importance of not
labelling or typing their children too early and how to understand the needs of each
of
the nine types that their child may be developing into and how to bring out the best
of
each.
Participants will leave with a greater understanding and a feeling
of
competence around supporting their children in thriving into the best versions of
themselves.
In this presentation Nataliia will be introducing the findings of her "Enneagram for
Teenagers" and "Enneagram for Pre-teens" programs. She will be presenting the core
findings, the methodologies suggested, and some of the techniques and exercises she
utilizes in presenting the Enneagram to the young adults.
Nataliia
Bolshakova is an accredited professional and a co-founder of IEA accredited school
"Enneagram Egypt". Over the years of working as a teacher and being a mother of
teenagers herself, Nataliia saw how profoundly knowing the Enneagram and
understanding
children has an effect on how adults deal with them and help children grow in a
healthy
and self-accepting manner.
Have you ever thought, "Why do I do what I do?" When it comes to decision making -
are
you ruled by your heart, your head or your gut? All three play a factor yet one will
dominate your personality. Little has been presented on the Enneagram to show the
system
in a more accessible form using easy English and info graphics.
The WID
Factor - Why I Do What I Do - has taken the complex theories of the Enneagram, added
insights of modern science, then translated them into an easy-to understand
methodology
which introduces a three-step practice that forms the basis of The Integration
Movement.
This practice helps you to understand your own Path of Purpose.
The
session
will also explore how peoples different core potencies connect and the value this
adds
to achieving both personal and organisational goals.
Building on
psychological studies that reveal three different styles of connecting, we align
these
styles with the WID core potencies to explore the WID Connectivity Styles.
Individuals
that understand their motivations, become teams that understand each other, and in
turn
create outcomes with each other. WID enables people who think differently, act
together,
to achieve common outcomes.
Our creative expression is a mirror of our lives. Yet many of us fear exploring our
potential. In this three-part workshop, you’ll discover the creative blocks of
each Enneagram Type, and how you can use each Type’s gifts to reach creative
breakthroughs.
Focus: Creativity in any form—music, art, creating
a
company, designing an app… No art experience required.
Requirements:
Part 1: Blocks and Breakthroughs. Head. Theory.
Part 2: The Art of Expression. Action/Body. Two exercises for audience
participation. You are invited to actively explore your creativity through the lens
of
one of the Types.
Part 3: Heart-centered feedback Heart. Sharing your
journey.
The true beauty of the Enneagram is the fact that it´s a useful and
powerful
tool for personal growth and development. But also, the symbol itself and its
brilliant
geometrical construction and inherent mathematical symmetry in fact holds quite a
bit of
beauty, too.
This session is about the mathematical beauty embedded in
the
Enneagram an consists of three parts, each corresponding to one of the three
elements of
the Enneagram symbol, the circle, the triangle and the sequence of the numbers
1,4,2,8,5
and 7.
Some of the visible and the invisible geometrical formations and
numerical sequences in the Enneagram will be shown along with the magic of the
number
nine, the core number of the Enneagram. Furthermore, the Fibonacci sequence, the
sphere
and the platonic solids and their connection to the Enneagram symbol will be
discussed.
Participants of the workshop will also find out three ways of
constructing/designing the Enneagram symbol with compasses, ruler and protractor.
As an Enneagram teacher, registered psychologist and a musician, Bernadette wanted to
create a Enneagram resource with a bit of a difference; something informative, that
at
the same time was dynamic, entertaining and hopefully appealing to a new generation
of
Enneagram enthusiasts. She wanted to create a resource that helps to simplify the
core
messages each of us needs to hear in order to emerge from the fog created by the
limiting personality patterns of our minds and to put these messages to music so
that
they can be easily accessed when needed.
This is an album of nine unique
songs that aim to capture, in both the lyrics and the music itself, the essence of
each
of the personality styles described in the Enneagram. The songs are experiential in
nature - as we immerse ourselves in the music, listen to the lyrics and deeply
follow
the messages to which they are pointing, we can actually move closer to the present
moment and into expansive awareness.
These songs take us on a musical
journey through the different mental and emotional structures that are so profoundly
described in the Enneagram, allowing us to experience, contemplate and feel into
each
part of the whole and the different pathways to presence that are available to us
all.

The Enneagram is ultimately a map of non-fixated, awakened consciousness and human
wholeness. It is universally applicable to every dimension of life - beyond belief
systems, cultures, or modalities. In this pivotal time in our world, how can we
accelerate the integration of the authentic depth of the Enneagram to every aspect
of
life.
Where are we? Where are we going? And what’s needed to
uplevel
the full transformational potential of the Enneagram personally and
collectively?
As the Founder and Host of the Enneagram Global Summits,
with
a dedicated vision to supporting cooperation, collaboration, and creativity in the
field, Jessica is in a unique position to talk about the potential, the shadows, the
trends, and the calls of the Enneagram field today. We will gather to hear about
these,
and learn what we can do in our practice and life to contribute to the
Enneagram’s
transformational impact for humanity. There will be learning, sharing, experiential
exercises and dialogue. We will expand our knowledge, vision, and orientations to
empower and embody our capacity to transmit the Love, wisdom, presence and
creativity
that the Enneagram can contribute to the challenges and promises of life and our
world
today.
This highly interactive session offers a straightforward, down-to-earth, gritty South
African discussion about race and the Enneagram. Now, more than ever, the world
needs to
have these conversations to promote social justice. As Enneagram practitioners, we
do
not have the right or the luxury to bypass the current contextual reality around
issues
of race, equity, and inclusion.
The session explores our own
relationship
with race as practitioners, allowing us to also look at how these dynamics may play
out
for others. When we are able to work with their own racial identities and
socialisation,
we are then able to support others to process their reality and context and can
avoid
perpetuating racial wounding.
The session presents data collected
through
the AIM questionnaire, which combines Enneagram type measurement with a sentence
completion methodology measuring vertical development. This offers a unique view of
how
maturity, Enneagram style and orientation to race intersect. We will also share
verbatims and short case studies from conversations about racial issues with
different
Enneagram styles. This session is for people who care about societal change, honest
conversation, inclusion and racial awareness in their Enneagram practice and
personal
development journeys.
We are not truly free to thrive until everyone is free to thrive- until we all feel
safety and support to be, express, and love who and what we love. We know this, yet
billions of people on our planet are not as free as those identified with a dominant
culture.
This will be an honest unplugged conversation in which grief,
rage, love and potential are welcome - first between the panelists, and then with
the
Conference community. The Enneagram can guide individuals to liberate oppressed and
locked parts of themselves to live an authentic and fully expressed life. It is one
of
the most powerful tools on the planet for creating equitable community, where all
are
valued. Social Equity Leaders are now using the Enneagram in powerful and
(r)evolutionary ways to address the “othering” that happens through “isms” such as
racism, sexism, colonialism, ageism, and gender expression, sexual orientation,
political identity and more.
The Enneagram community must also examine
its
own biases, shadows, and misconceptions so we can contribute to ending oppression of
all
kinds and creating a world of interdependent honoring, caring and support of
ALL.
In this session the panelists will each explore these topics from
the
lens of their own experience of race, gender, sexual orientation and culture. Then
we
will open a dialogue with the conference community.
• Building conscious
and
liberated community by supporting the evolution of consciousness with the
Enneagram
• Decolonizing the self and relationships: liberating
internalized
oppression
• Building resilience from the scars of oppression and
violence -
riding the waves of awareness about racial injustice in 2020 and 2021
With a clear vision for how the Enneagram could be taught in every jail and prison in the United States and in the world, Susan Olesek founded Enneagram Prison Project (EPP) in California in 2012. Since then, EPP has established programming in correctional facilities around the world, including California, Minnesota, Belgium, France, the United Kingdom, and soon to be Colorado, Australia, and Canada. In this presentation, IEA attendees will engage with and learn from members of the EPP community, including EPP's Founder, as well EPP Ambassadors who learned the Enneagram while incarcerated and are now EPP Board Members, Faculty, and Guides in Training. You will hear about how the project's compassionate curriculum is transforming lives, and building a compassionate community, on both sides of the bars. We will explore how the Enneagram supports our ability to belong to ourselves, and each other, in a way that illuminates the deep interconnectedness of all life. Attendees will be invited to connect with EPP's vision to free people - all over the world - from the prisons of our own making, and hear how EPP is using the Enneagram to reach across the bars, both visible and invisible, to create relationship, lead with consciousness, and inspire transformation through greater self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-compassion.
This session is for both men and women; for all those who want to explore ways to
continue contributing to craft the role of women in society, making the most out of
their participation in the different domains they are part of. But doing so in a way
that feels authentic to them. That they don't need to pretend to be someone they are
not, in terms of gender, Ennea-type, etc.
During this session we will
dive
into the narratives of women of each type, exploring how they see the expectations
society has of them, their own, and how they see themselves. In groups by type,
participants will explore their stories related to these expectations. We will then
look
at those stories and identify the Enneagram-related conflicts and contradictions
that
arise in them.
The second part of the session will address the
contradictions created by these narratives and how we can learn to manage and work
with,
rather than against, them.
People will leave the session with a deeper
understanding of the narratives of women of each type and with ideas on how to
create
space for women to continue contributing to society in an authentic way.
At an unprecedented time of global unrest this session is designed to demonstrate the power of the Enneagram in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Anti-racism work. Diversity encompasses all the ways that we are similar and all the ways that we are different. A panel of students from the IEA Accredited 2020-21 Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Anti-Racism Training Certification for Enneagram Practitioners will share their transformative experiences through the powerful inner work & the experiential learning modules. This Cohort has representatives from every Enneagram point and represents both BIPOC & Non-BIPOC perspectives. There is representation from Enneagram practitioners ranging from counselors, teachers, therapists and influencers. The panel will discuss the challenges they faced while addressing their own implicit biases, individual racial trauma, & the inner work of unraveling their racial identity through the wisdom of the Enneagram. These Enneagram Practitioners explore the tangible solutions & results of their experience in their own fields of work across psychotherapy, relationship counseling & spiritual guidance. This enlightening session is designed to help the Enneagram community to understand how the Enneagram can be used as a powerful healing mechanism for reconnecting humanity and healing the cracks and division of our human mosaic.
Our work around our Enneagram type can be powerful in dismantling white supremacy and
creating equity. Antiracism is a commitment to actively doing your personal work
around
topics of power, oppression, and privilege. The intersections between our own
personal
Enneagram type work and our identity work give us rich fodder for this
commitment.
Looking at the culture of whiteness (the construct), the
ways
we've been socialized, and the work around our Enneagram type can help us create a
new
world of equity. Exploring embodied reactivity through the instincts, the emotional
reactivity through the passions, the mental reactivity through the fixations, and
the
protections found in the defense mechanisms gives us a framework for deeper
antiracism
work.
This presentation will review a framework used with clients who
are
setting the foundation for their antiracism journey, utilizing the Enneagram
transform
their inner work to their work in the world.
The Enneagram is a powerful tool that unlocks for many both what we offer the world
and
how we get in the way of that offering. Over the past several years we have shared
the
Enneagram with both the homeless community and people in generational poverty
through
the unique workshop, Grit to Great(er), and have witnessed this same
unlocking.
Join us as we share the impact of increased self-awareness,
personal regard, and future visioning that has resulted in marginalized communities
through this unique Enneagram workshop that has the power to impact social justice
and
societal change in our communities. Explore with us what adjustments are needed of
us as
a profession as the Enneagram footprint is being extended beyond traditional lines.
There will be opportunity throughout the session for both Q&A, but more
importantly
robust discussion around this innovative application of the Enneagram and what
adjustments it asks of us.
Metaphor is a figure of speech that directly compares one thing to another for the
purpose of illuminating information and amplifying that which is being taught.
Pictures,
understood as symbol that represent something in reality, are also metaphors for
that
which they represent. And so are stories, at least meaningful "sticky" stories,
stories
that are transcend the individual story characters and take our understanding to the
more universal.
You'll learn how to create and use metaphor, picture
and
story when you teach the Enneagram. Here's why learning these techniques makes such
a
huge difference. Most teaching focuses on the brain's left hemisphere that utilizes
logic and categories; metaphor, picture and story, by contrast, enlist the right
hemisphere so that multiple connections between things happens organically.
Metaphor,
picture and story also assist in integrating new and nuanced information at the very
onset of initial information sharing because these symbolic vehicles covey
multi-leveled
information simultaneously. Even more, going beyond words through metaphor, picture
and
story are dynamic tools that aid in just this kind of creative problem solving.
Finally,
metaphor, picture and story aid in retention of information. People simply remember
them
better than just words.
Millennials are changing the way we think about career fulfillment. They expect more
intrinsic rewards from their careers than previous generations, and are willing to
switch jobs more frequently. According to Forbes, "Job-hopping allows Millennials to
have their say in the direction their career is going. They're the authors of their
career narratives, and avoid preconceived assumptions about what their career
advancement should look like..." They also are changing how work gets done, working
more
in teams and with technology.
Hear from a diverse panel of individuals,
representing different Enneagram types from various walks of life. We will delve
into
how the Enneagram has helped them understand their greatest career strengths, and
how
the Enneagram helps them honor their own needs. Next, participate in an exercise to
uncover your own career strengths and needs---to better guide you as you pave a path
to
greater fulfillment.
Relationships are central to our lives and can be the source of our happiness or
sadness,
but nurturing them can be hard work. In this session we will present a model of
understanding relationships – those at home or those at work – through
the
Lens of the Instinctual Biases of the Enneagram.
Not only the nine
Ennea-types provide an understanding of the different ways we approach life and
hence
relationships—the three Instinctual Biases help us understand the things we
value
in life over others, and that when people have different dominant Instinctual Biases
their priorities differ:
Understanding the instinctual Biases helps us to understand why we may
get
along with some people but have conflict with others, and we can use the
simple-but-deep
Awareness to Action Process with the Instinctual Biases to build on common ground,
nurturing our relations by consciously create change in our narratives about them
and
our behaviors.
Most of us know that metaphors are great for communicating ideas, but did you know
that
they are also great for allowing your subconscious to bring important understandings
into consciousness? Metaphors are how we code experience. Our deepest wisdom about
situations is held metaphorically in our psyches and influence our approach to
problems
and goal achievement.
If you think of a problem as a barrier, you'll
want
"breakthrough" strategies. If you think you need to "get to the bottom of it,"
you'll
"dig deeper". If you think you're "drowning", you'll hope for a life preserver. If
you
feel "stuck," you'll try to get "unstuck" to "move forward". If your metaphor and
strategies are mismatched, you won't get very far. Similarly, in a relationship, if
one
of you thinks you're starving in a desert, and the other feels "swamped", a
satisfactory
joint resolution is not likely. In this fun session, you'll discover how inner
metaphors
work. We'll elicit people's metaphors as examples with Enneagram themes. You'll
explore
your own subjective experience in new ways and discover the power of eliciting
metaphors
in all life situations. Expect a lot of "ah-ha's" during the session, and even more
in
the days that follow.
Have you ever thought, "Why do I do what I do?" When it comes to decision making -
are
you ruled by your heart, your head or your gut? All three play a factor yet one will
dominate your personality. Little has been presented on the Enneagram to show the
system
in a more accessible form using easy English and info graphics.
The WID
Factor - Why I Do What I Do - has taken the complex theories of the Enneagram, added
insights of modern science, then translated them into an easy-to understand
methodology
which introduces a three-step practice that forms the basis of The Integration
Movement.
This practice helps you to understand your own Path of Purpose.
The
session
will also explore how peoples different core potencies connect and the value this
adds
to achieving both personal and organisational goals.
Building on
psychological studies that reveal three different styles of connecting, we align
these
styles with the WID core potencies to explore the WID Connectivity Styles.
Individuals
that understand their motivations, become teams that understand each other, and in
turn
create outcomes with each other. WID enables people who think differently, act
together,
to achieve common outcomes.
The goal of "Enneagram and Personal Power©", we would like to present is the
result
of combining the Enneagram, a universal powerful tool for understanding the human
being
with "The Keys to Personal Power Management three A©", and" the Star of
Self-realization©" both designed by me. This is the result of ten years' work
observation and experience with Enneagrams in business contexts, training and
coaching
more than 1,000 persons, and the wish to offer an operational tool to foster
personal
development in professional contexts where effective and efficient results are
required.
"The Enneagram of Personal Power©" describes the thoughts, feelings and
behaviors
that each ennea-types must promote to develop every competencies that allow to reach
self-realization. This model, used in coaching and training contexts, helps
professionals, in a simple way, to understand the work to have to be done to free
their
talent — to connect to their Self- and to find easier to remember what to do
always - Consciousness. In short, it is a model that aims to bring the spiritual
world
within the business world in an understandable and practical way to
perform.
This model used for almost a year in business contexts has been successfully
presented
one times in Congress of Enneagram.
Parents are ready to move away from authoritarian and permissive models of parenting towards relationship-based models that focus on healthy attachment and connection. Great parents know that a culture of connection in the home is built on a foundation of Presence. The Enneagram reveals what blocks our capacity to be present to our children and how our parenting "blind spots" prohibit the very connection we seek. The Enneagram also helps us to answer the question, "Who is showing up to parent — YOU — or your personality pattern?" As we learn to be more Present, we come into contact with our own inner adult or "Essence Parent", the part of us that has the capacity to hold not only our own big reactions with compassion, but our children's big feelings as well. This compassionate holding and awareness starts to soften our personality's contractions and allows us to grow into the leaders we most want to be as parents. Real life examples will be given of parents who have used the Enneagram to create deeper connections with their children, to heal their own lost childhood messages, and to transform difficult parenting moments into opportunities for spiritual and psychological growth.
Prior to the abrupt worldwide life and work altering impact of the 2020 pandemic, our global businesses, leaders, and teams were already navigating the norm of constant change with varying effectiveness. Across industries, change is related to needed and steady innovation, new technologies and increasing connection personally and professionally across cultures and systems. Why have some leaders and organizations been more successful navigating pandemic change challenges? Our role as coaches and consultants supports awareness of potential communication, engagement and strategy strengths and blind spots that may impact best practice change leadership. Research supports the established relationship between individual personality and behavior impacting change management and change leadership. The Enneagram provides key insights to illuminate where clients may have opportunity to recommit, revise and reestablish their personal, and thereby influential, change readiness and resilience. This session introduces Nine Leader Ideals based on each Enneagram style as well as a suggested "frame" to support coaching and consulting strategies for change-related development.
The success or failure of a project is often the result of its the Project Manager.
They're professionals who must have extensive knowledge in project management, but
they
must also have great skills in management and team building, to achieve the expected
results, on time, with the required quality at the lowest cost in order to obtain
the
greatest benefit. Therefore, for organizations are becoming more and more important
to
have Project Managers who are better prepared to deal with challenges and
people.
With my personal experience, I've realized how useful it's to
use
instinctual biases in order to develop and obtain the maximum performance in the
Project
teams.
The knowledge of the instinctual biases allows us to be able to
identify the possible strengths and weaknesses of our teams, where they'll over
focus
their attention and what they'll neglect. Moreover, it'll allow us to handle more
efficiently our coaching sessions and managing better any possible conflicts that
may
appear during the Project.
Attendees will leave the session with a
practical
knowledge of how Project Managers be reaching across projects successfully by
understanding instinctual biases for leading project teams.
People are overwhelmed with life and work stresses and difficulties. Normal
challenges
are compounded by undue amounts of secondary stressors, like the pandemic with its
rippling affect into every facet of life. Many feel disconnected.
High
levels of stress eventually call us to find more adaptive ways to connect to others,
reduce our suffering, and the suffering others.
One area of the
Enneagram,
the Instinctual Biases, offers a powerful understanding of how we interact with
others
based on what we value, care about, where our attention goes and behaviors follow.
By
clearly understanding how these three biases work in us, we learn how or when our
habits
of thought and behavior are useful, or possibly un-useful. We can then cultivate our
natural strengths and make any desired changes so we feel better and ultimately
connect
in more satisfying ways.
During this session, we'll explore the nature
of
the Instinctual Biases and the stories we create connected to these biases, to
understand more clearly how they enhance or limit our connections. In the second
part of
the session, we'll identify areas of desired change and simple tools to begin
incremental steps towards reaching out to others in more connected, adaptive ways.
Coaching is now widely seen as a core skill for any future leader and is used by two thirds of businesses around the world. Coaching and Enneagram for leaders are an effective tool for improving performance that it is now recognized as a vital skill for any line manager wishing to develop their career. In this interactive session we will experience how to use 3 centers of the Enneagram to create a "Solution Focused Mindset" for leaders to grow and to empower their team for a better performance. We will discover how to collaborate with leaders with the Enneagram and leadership coaching to experience new motivational level of development. The purpose is to learn how to manage Leadership challenges with the Enneagram enabling different insights and create an impactful result with the Leadership Coaching. Participance will come away with an understanding of leadership coaching and how it relates to the Enneagram for a better outcome in organizations. In practice and engagement with the participants they will realize how Leadership coaching is powerful with the 3 centers in result of creating a growth mindset for a leader.
"Most of us were trained in a zoo, but we operate in a jungle" (Sonja
Blignaut).
VUCA is not a theory anymore. Our Schools and Universities
prepare us for a predictable world of business strategy and project plans. We are
trained for "order". Our office buildings, bureaucratic hierarchies, org design
structures look like Zoos, even Coffee stations has a designated place. We have a
10-year business plan, but we do not know what will happen next week is our new
reality.
The jungle (Covid 19) crossed over to our "ordered" cities, businesses, schools, and
way
of living. Our ordered Zoo life has been challenged.
However, in a
jungle,
we instinctively know we have to look after ourselves (watch where we step), have
one on
one relationships (connect with individual others) and participate in Groups (if
not, I
am food). I will share examples of how the Enneagram Instincts are all dancing
harmoniously in natural ecosystems and what it means for effective human
systems.
This session will also explore how an Increased level of
mindfulness and a good understanding of Complex Adaptive system principles (jungle),
enable us to Thrive, not just Survive in a new normal.
The enneagram has been for years a technique or philosophy of life very accepted and used in spirituality, psychology and self development leaving a whole space for organizations from the perspective of inclusion of all structures within oneself first and then inclusion with other human beings. Inclusion requires an open mind that allows us to naturally include all classifications of archetypes in ourselves, understanding that we are not only one, but lovingly and harmoniously including the search for the structures that are in the circle of the enneagram to be one.
In the workshop the participants will learn and have a possibility to try out an evidence-based coaching and therapy tool Mind-Body Bridging (MBB) which increases self-regulation skills and coping strategies while promoting psychological resilience and find the connection with the enneagram. MBB helps us to notice the difference when our brain is not functioning at best filling the mind with clutter, the body with tension and we experience stress, and then learn to access the natural resources of our brain and mind. MBB has research evidence of being effective for eg. treating with stress, PTSD, anxiety, sleep problems and addictions. It also has been proven to be useful in organizations, as part of leadership development trainings as well as in team and individual coaching. It will be explored the connection between the enneagram and MBB eg. how MBB exercises can be helpful in finding the enneagram types the person resonates with the most and how the enneagram and MBB can be integrated in coaching in developing resilience.
You are your voice. Your struggle, passion, fixation, past, present and potential can
all
be heard through the vibrational frequency of your sound, your voice.
In
my
work, most clients reported that the types they understood the least were the head
types. To reach across to and with the head types, voice provided a perfect channel
for
us to understand more deeply about the types.
Voice connects with both
your
body and your heart. It is a perfect pathway for the head types to get out of the
head,
make breakthroughs and achieve growth, so they can reach across to the other types,
in a
more meaningful and authentic way.
Enneagram and Somatic movement is an integrated approach to learning and
transformative
experience. The original Enneagram teaching pointed out that the ego-type is rooted
in
our anatomy. The field of somatic concern the human ability to experience the body
from
within and becoming aware of ourselves. The main principle is that body, emotion and
thought are an inseparable continuum, thus the mind is expressed through the body
and
the body through the mind.
Through specifics somatic practices of
embodiment
and application of anatomical, physiological and developmental principles we may
observe
and transform our mental, emotional and instinctual patterns. We may nail down the
process of perception by which information are filtered, distorted, generalised,
interpreted and acted upon. We discover how before being ordered into words,
thoughts
and emotions are often felt as pictures and movements. Movement is not just a form
of
expression, it is also as another sense to perceive the self and the environment. It
can
also be a pathway to facilitate changes in the relationship between body and mind.
Movement patterning influences how we process information, express ourselves and
function. Integrated ways of moving, feeling and thinking support the manifestation
of
higher level of consciousness.
The Integral Enneagram model is the integration of three main components:
The Enneagram: a profoundly enlightening human psychospiritual model that reveals
the
hidden patterns of human drives, motivational systems, survival strategies, and
meaning
making methods of life.
Stages of the Mind: the mapping of the journey
of
each of the 9 Enneagram types along the stages of cognitive capacity and complexity
development. For cognitive capacity development the model uses the Spiral Dynamics
Integral as the main backbone, in addition to the work of Ken Wilber, Piaget,
Gebser,
Maslow, and other transpersonal and developmental scientists and their
models.
Stages of the Heart: the spiritual journey of each of the 9
types
from deep fixation to a sense of mystical unity and oneness. The Sufi 7 stages of
development of the ego/self are used as the backbone of the model, in addition to
numerous other spiritual works from diverse religious and philosophical
backgrounds.
The three models together create a 3D map, providing an
accurate diagnosis of the individual personality traits, cognitive and intellectual
value systems, and spiritual capacity for presence and oneness.
Types influence and affect how each of the 9 Enneagram Types form, develop and
maintain
intimate relationships. It will introduce many significant findings from the first
study
to the most recent. More specifically, it will cover what has proven to be
significant
for 26 years.
In 1996, Claudio Naranjo validated the first 1994-1995
Study
of the Instinctual Subtypes. In 1998, The Enneagram Types, Instinctual Drives and
Intimacy was conducted to more clearly ascertain if the 3 Instincts could be
statically
validated. This study was university validated in 1998.
The qualitative
research of the 23 studies proved to be highly informative as to the internal
experiences of the 9 Enneagram Types and 27 Subtypes. The unexpected findings were
both
validating and intriguing because they came from the 9 types themselves.
Everyone is creative. Whether a person makes their living with their art, dabbles
occasionally as a hobby, or flirts with the idea of doing that creative thing that
they
haven’t done since childhood, each of us has the capacity to process our lives
and
experiences through creative work. How we go about doing this is strongly impacted
by
our personality.
This panel brings together four people working in
various
branches of the arts: music, theatre, literature and visual arts. Each person has
knowledge and understanding of the Enneagram. Some have made the Enneagram a direct
subject of their art.
Over the course of this two hour conversation, the
panelists will share their work and explore the ways the Enneagram has impacted
their
lives and creative output. They’ll share insights about their processes. And
they’ll open up to all questions.
Panelists
In this presentation Nataliia will be introducing the findings of her "Enneagram for
Teenagers" and "Enneagram for Pre-teens" programs. She will be presenting the core
findings, the methodologies suggested, and some of the techniques and exercises she
utilizes in presenting the Enneagram to the young adults.
Nataliia
Bolshakova is
an accredited professional and a co-founder of IEA accredited school "Enneagram
Egypt".
Over the years of working as a teacher and being a mother of teenagers herself,
Nataliia
saw how profoundly knowing the Enneagram and understanding children has an effect on
how
adults deal with them and help children grow in a healthy and self-accepting manner.

You will understand how and why the ego or personality exists. You will discover that
ego
is not your enemy, its goal is to help you survive when you are unable to do it by
yourself.
Based on proven Neuroscientific theories and with very simple
examples I will explain how your ego was formed and how it is sustained by your
brain,
and what can you do to transform your life. You will understand the two modes of
brain
operation:
I will share with you my 3-step method, based on neuroscience and the
Enneagram, to transform your life and that of your coachees.
I will
present
the results and some testimonials that we have obtained with the LIFE-360 program.
An
empowerment program that combines the Enneagram and Neuroscience, that has given
results
of 40% increase in the positive psychology SHS (subjective happiness scale) proposed
by
Sonja Lubomirsky in positive psychology.
At the end, It you change your
perception, everything changes...
The Levels of Functioning describe how we mature within our Type. The key to that
maturation is Presence, a quality of being fully in the moment and dropping into a
quiet
mind and an open heart. In this experiential presentation, we will explore how to
access
Presence through guided exercises for inhabiting the three Centers of Intelligence -
Belly, Heart and Head.
From the perspective of attuned Presence, we will
investigate the Levels of Functioning as true Developmental stages, beginning with
Level
9 in infancy and moving through the developmental stages of childhood and
adolescence up
to average adult functioning at Level 5. An exercise for moving from Level 4 to
Levels 3
will reveal the path of spiritual development using the Enneagram as a guide. That
exercise can serve as a foundation for ongoing spiritual growth.
Along
the
way, we will explore how interrupted development, from the absence of Presence,
creates
immature and dysfunctional attitudes and behavior in adults, expressed as Enneagram
fixations and passions.
The experiential exercises in this presentation
are
relevant for coaches and teachers to apply in their own work using the Enneagram
with
clients and students.
Your "Emotional Mastery Blueprint," the pie chart of your EQ Quiz, is based on the
Enneagram. It illuminates at a glance how much and how little you have of the gifts
and
challenges of all the Enneagram types.
More than just determining your
type,
it illustrates how all of your scores influence each other and impact you. The
result is
either empowering, bringing ease and flow to your life, or disempowering, causing
stress
and struggle, again and again. When you see these relationships, your Blueprint
becomes
a guide to the next steps in your growth.
When you combine this with
learning how to create new neural pathways for the change you want, change becomes
easy.
You will stand up and move. A "light" experience of EnneaMotion
will
guide you in embodying some of the gifts and some of the challenges or "Whammies"
that
can get in your way. Drawing from my Somatic Focusing coaching practice, you will
create
new neural pathways to break through any Whammies and embody a mental, emotional and
physical shift towards ease in living the life you want.
The Enneagram
then
becomes a doorway to your Emotional Mastery and a life with wholeness, ease and joy.
Are we allowing the full range of our human experience? How would our life be enhanced when we develop our capacity to access a full experience? From an early age, our thoughts, emotions, and ideas begin as sensory experience in the body. As our language and cognitive abilities develop, this fuller range of sensory response narrows to recognizable and predictable concepts and labels like love, joy, anger, fear. Over time we only experience the more patterned sensations associated with these labels. As our sensory abilities narrow, so does our capacity to respond to life from a broader field of depth, and presence. We often fall into habitual reactions which may not be in alignment with what is occurring in the moment. This workshop will explore how to stay present with the sensations of the body. Participants will be invited into experiencing the tissue correlations of the Instinctual Variants (Self Preservation, Sexual, and Social) and introduce participants to the 5 steps of alignment. All this to access our full experience of any moment. With this increased capacity to stay present, participants will observe personal patterns in their sensory reactions connected to their Enneagram Type. Come and play with Brian and Devon.

What is the origin of your Personality type? Did it have a purpose in the history of
human evolution? Have we discovered the biological mechanisms that might explain our
differences? To what extent are we "nature" or "nurture"? What are the implications
of
these issues to our own possibility to change and develop as human
beings?
This presentation will invite you to explore the connections between the Enneagram
and
some of the most recent discoveries in the fields of Neuroscience, Behavioural
Genetics
and Evolutionary Psychology. You will be introduced to some of the most likely
biological foundations of our personality types, and how they might have emerged in
our
evolutionary history, through an interaction between the genetic heritage of our
species
and the changing demands of our environment.
You will explore your type
as
an "adaptive strategy" from an evolutionary perspective and what this means in terms
of
your own coping strategies today. You will discover the possibilities that
"neuroplasticity" brings to your own evolution as an individual. You will
participate in
a discussion about the implications of these findings for ourselves and our
self-development. And above all, you will be surprised by a totally new perspective
on
the Enneagram model.
This is an innovative experiential work to discover the “Soul Child”, the way it
operates
in each Type, meet it and embrace its inner structure.
The session is based
upon
work on the Enneagram symbol on the floor, through a specifically designed exercise,
inspired from both the Life Script and the Family Constellation techniques.
From
a slightly different understanding of the “Inner flow” and the Enneagram arrows, the
“Soul Child”, named after A. H. Almaas and developed by Sandra Maitri is basically a
part of us that was not held or allowed to develop at a very young age. It remained
immature at an Ennapoint while our personality grew to the following point in
reaction
to it. It is a deeper layer within our personality structure that retains access to
Essence.
Finding this Soul child and reaching out to it allows us to get in
contact with the Essential Qualities, that were essentially available to us before
their
light was dim by the personality.
For thousands of years, sexuality and fertility formed the foundation for any spiritual belief and practice. This connection with nature was replaced by world religions, which focus on patriarchal values and repressing the forces of nature instead. The enneagram of personalities teaches us to get back in touch with our True Nature, but few dare to break the taboo on sexuality and admit that humans are sexual beings. Indeed, the understanding of human sexuality of most people in our 'advanced' civilisation is based on patriarchal stereotypes, which all too often run opposite to both ancient spiritual teachings and modern-day scientific research. The enneagram explains how our cognitive mind gives meaning to events or behaviour that have no inherent meaning apart from a biological-evolutionary function of survival. This also applies to human sexuality, with our motivations for sexual interaction depending on our specific worldview or lack of harmony between the different instinctual drives. The enneagram can explain why couples may feel sexually incompatible, why people stray, why we may feel a lack of satisfaction, etc. Understanding these aspects of sexuality should not justify certain behaviour but rather increase our empathy and invite for a mature dialogue instead of demonising the other.
At an unprecedented time of global unrest this session is designed to demonstrate the power of the Enneagram in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Anti-racism work. Diversity encompasses all the ways that we are similar and all the ways that we are different. A panel of students from the IEA Accredited 2020-21 Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Anti-Racism Training Certification for Enneagram Practitioners will share their transformative experiences through the powerful inner work & the experiential learning modules. This Cohort has representatives from every Enneagram point and represents both BIPOC & Non-BIPOC perspectives. There is representation from Enneagram practitioners ranging from counselors, teachers, therapists and influencers. The panel will discuss the challenges they faced while addressing their own implicit biases, individual racial trauma, & the inner work of unraveling their racial identity through the wisdom of the Enneagram. These Enneagram Practitioners explore the tangible solutions & results of their experience in their own fields of work across psychotherapy, relationship counseling & spiritual guidance. This enlightening session is designed to help the Enneagram community to understand how the Enneagram can be used as a powerful healing mechanism for reconnecting humanity and healing the cracks and division of our human mosaic.

In this presentation, participants will be guided on a journey through the 9 Points
of
the Enneagram, through a deep and invigorating state of hypnotic trance.
Each of the 9 points (frequencies or energy Rays) will be experienced by the 3
centers
of intelligence (mind, heart and body), through images, visualizations, emotions,
colors, symbols, sensations, sounds and body reactions.
At each
enneagram
point, regardless of the participants Enneagram Type, a vertical journey will be
done.
Starting from the lower frequencies and moving towards the higher frequencies, each
person will recognize within him (her) self these energies and consciousness
transitions.
The presenter as a teacher, author and trainer in the
themes of
Enneagram and Energy Work for the last fifteen years, will provide a safe and loving
container for this deep journey. It will be a profound, subtle, exciting and healing
experience.
Join us in moving through the sacred symbol and the energies
of
the multidimensional Enneagram. This presentation will reverberate for a long time
in
the waters of your consciousness.
"A Taste of Dancing the Enneagram" invites you to take a playful and courageous
somatic
dive into the three centers -- Belly, Heart and Head -- focusing on Types 1, 3, and
6. A
short slide show with an introduction to each center and type will begin your
journey
into expanding awareness of body sensations, energy, and expression. Nia Educator
Kate
Finlayson will share the profound gifts and challenges of each type as well as the
correlating movement form from the Nia Technique. She has artfully assigned each of
Nia's nine movement forms from martial, dance and healing arts to the nine types, as
well as music that enhances the chemistry of each. Beginning with breathing and
meditation into each center, Kate creates a safe and fun environment for exploration
and
discovery. Participants are encouraged to play with the flavors of each, utilizing
mantras from Andrea Isaacs' Enneamotion and integrating body, mind and heart with
music,
movement, and reflection. No experience is necessary, and all will be asked to move
in
their own body's way.
The "Dancing the Enneagram" PlayBook is a
wonderful

We are living a world crisis that has created uncertainty in all human beings and nobody has escaped to it's consequences. Due to this crisis, we all have developed certain behaviors originated from fear, sadness and anger and as we know not everybody experiences the actual reality the same way and they are related to our three intelligences according to the Enneagram and the way, depending in our personality, one particular emotion provokes certain behaviors. Thus, not all of us has the same survival strategy because each reality can be different and can be seen and lived in a different way. And it could as well, be an opportunity to understand each one's way of dealing with uncertainty. On the other hand, regarding the literary world, this could be an opportunity to create characters taking in consideration the different behaviors and survival strategies coming from the Enneagram personalities and to be aware the way each one of us has created a novel of our lives in which we play the main character created from a survival strategy face to adversity.
Many of us do spiritual work on the deepest levels possible. called soul work, the
process of knowing our innermost being is an immense undertaking. many of us
immersed in
spiritual work, are focused on the level of personality. But our truest identity is
far
beneath the ego and the personality. Our truest identity is our soul.
When
we know the qualities that compose our soul and how we manifest them or not, we have
a
greater understanding of what our deepest inner work must address.
In
this
presentation, you will find and experience the unique qualities of your own soul
through
lecture, teaching, guided imagery, visual aids, video and interactive discussion,
you
will understand the nine soul types as well as the Enneagram of soul. Applications
for
soul types and the Enneagram of soul will be presented for the individual and for
collectives.
If we know our souls, we know what motivates us on our
deeest
levels, and if we reconnect with our essential nature and goodness we see the way to
peace. Reaching across from ego to soul is a game changer for our way of moving and
perceiving the world. And that amazing "reach" enables us to understand, to
communicate
with and to affirm our fellow souls wherever on earth they may be. This workshop is
based on the work of Dr. Joe Howell in his new book, Know Your Soul: Journeying with
the
Enneagram into Inner and Outer Peace, Crossroad Publishers. In Press.
In this lecture i will show the results of my research in the writing of my patients about what really causes people to change their behaviors. From Graphology, the Enneagram and conscious breathing, let us know what the traits of the enlargement of consciousness and with place in our brain are they from. What will be able to make people change? What this talk and find out your point of change.
Your Vitality Personality is the highest expression of your EnneaType. It is the
antidote
to your unconscious "Ego-Driven" compulsion toward self-sabotage. It frees you to
choose
"Consciousness-Directed" behaviors that generate vitality - the joyful state of
physical, mental and spiritual well being. Your ego is your survival mechanism,
driving
behavior that creates conflict and destruction. This is your default wiring -- when
you
are unaware of yourself, your ego automates your thoughts, feelings, and
actions.
Your Higher Consciousness is the real you—a powerful,
eternal
energetic being. In regularly connecting with this aspect of yourself, you become
your
best self, which heals, restores, and uplifts you. The journey moving out of
Ego-Driven
and into Consciousness-Directed behavior is the process of awakening. It is not
necessarily easy or fast. And yet, coming awake to yourself is the only way out of a
painful existence, and is the most empowering, exciting work you will ever
do.
Learn more about your EnneaType's inherent Ego-Driven Survival
Belief,
Compulsion, and Survival Behavior, which combine to create your specific Sabotage
Pattern...and how to free yourself from these through embracing your
Consciousness-Directed Vital Truth, Liberation, and Vitality Behavior, creating a
new
life of vitality that serves your Highest Purpose.
Golf is a sport that requires great strength of mind as well as great skill. Many
golfing
experts agree that the golf game is 90% mental yet the majority of practice by
golfers
is working on their swing technique at the driving range. As Bobby Jones says; "Golf
is
a game that is played on a five-inch course — the distance between your
ears."
This is where the Enneagram comes to the fore! By helping golfers
understand the unconscious patterns that prevent them from playing their best golf
allows each individual to begin to increase their self- awareness and ultimately
their
self-mastery. Each type appears on the golf course in different ways, different
things
trigger them and their reactivity is more easily understood. By working with groups
and
individuals to understand themselves better their golf will ultimately
improve.
This presentation will introduce new concepts and data gained
from
research done with over 60 golfers.
When things do not go as planned, it is kind of a crisis. In a crisis, people change their behaviour from their normal habits. This can be either good or bad. The instinctual bias is, in fact, an instinctive focus of our attention on certain things. It is natural that in a crisis, our attention tends more than normal to what is important to us. That is an instinctual bias behaviour. The instinctual bias can help us cope better with a crisis or, conversely, it can be an obstacle on the way out of a crisis.
You are your voice. Your struggle, passion, fixation, past, present and potential can
all
be heard through the vibrational frequency of your sound, your voice.
In my
work, most clients reported that the types they understood the least were the head
types. To reach across to and with the head types, voice provided a perfect channel
for
us to understand more deeply about the types.
Voice connects with both your
body
and your heart. It is a perfect pathway for the head types to get out of the head,
make
breakthroughs and achieve growth, so they can reach across to the other types, in a
more
meaningful and authentic way.
"Most of us were trained in a zoo, but we operate in a jungle" (Sonja
Blignaut).
VUCA is not a theory anymore. Our Schools and Universities prepare us for a
predictable
world of business strategy and project plans. We are trained for "order". Our office
buildings, bureaucratic hierarchies, org design structures look like Zoos, even
Coffee
stations has a designated place. We have a 10-year business plan, but we do not know
what will happen next week is our new reality. The jungle (Covid 19) crossed over to
our
"ordered" cities, businesses, schools, and way of living. Our ordered Zoo life has
been
challenged.
However, in a jungle, we instinctively know we have to look
after
ourselves (watch where we step), have one on one relationships (connect with
individual
others) and participate in Groups (if not, I am food). I will share examples of how
the
Enneagram Instincts are all dancing harmoniously in natural ecosystems and what it
means
for effective human systems.
This session will also explore how an Increased
level of mindfulness and a good understanding of Complex Adaptive system principles
(jungle), enable us to Thrive, not just Survive in a new normal.
In the workshop the participants will learn and have a possibility to try out an evidence-based coaching and therapy tool Mind-Body Bridging (MBB) which increases self-regulation skills and coping strategies while promoting psychological resilience and find the connection with the enneagram. MBB helps us to notice the difference when our brain is not functioning at best filling the mind with clutter, the body with tension and we experience stress, and then learn to access the natural resources of our brain and mind. MBB has research evidence of being effective for eg. treating with stress, PTSD, anxiety, sleep problems and addictions. It also has been proven to be useful in organizations, as part of leadership development trainings as well as in team and individual coaching. It will be explored the connection between the enneagram and MBB eg. how MBB exercises can be helpful in finding the enneagram types the person resonates with the most and how the enneagram and MBB can be integrated in coaching in developing resilience.

The enneagram has been for years a technique or philosophy of life very accepted and used in spirituality, psychology and self development leaving a whole space for organizations from the perspective of inclusion of all structures within oneself first and then inclusion with other human beings. Inclusion requires an open mind that allows us to naturally include all classifications of archetypes in ourselves, understanding that we are not only one, but lovingly and harmoniously including the search for the structures that are in the circle of the enneagram to be one.
The Integral Enneagram model is the integration of three main components:
The Enneagram: a profoundly enlightening human psychospiritual model that reveals
the
hidden patterns of human drives, motivational systems, survival strategies, and
meaning
making methods of life.
Stages of the Mind: the mapping of the journey
of
each of the 9 Enneagram types along the stages of cognitive capacity and complexity
development. For cognitive capacity development the model uses the Spiral Dynamics
Integral as the main backbone, in addition to the work of Ken Wilber, Piaget,
Gebser,
Maslow, and other transpersonal and developmental scientists and their
models.
Stages of the Heart: the spiritual journey of each of the 9
types
from deep fixation to a sense of mystical unity and oneness. The Sufi 7 stages of
development of the ego/self are used as the backbone of the model, in addition to
numerous other spiritual works from diverse religious and philosophical
backgrounds.
The three models together create a 3D map, providing an
accurate diagnosis of the individual personality traits, cognitive and intellectual
value systems, and spiritual capacity for presence and oneness.
A bunch of needs that we are not really able to satisfy naturally. We have judgements, emotional patterns and what is most important lack of energy to stand for them. Recognising those limitations is the first step to change the situation. Finding where the energy goes and how to take it back is the second. But those are just the beginning to open the door to satisfaction of the blind needs because a new identity have to emerge to be able to experience fulfillment. We need conscious satisfaction experiences to make that happen. How can we build a safety net to keep ourselves conscious when we leave our insatisfaction comfort zone?
In this presentation we will explore how childhood trauma impacts the way personality operates and the ways the Enneagram map can help us understand how it shapes the different types and how it can be healed through applying type-based insights. The vast majority of people have experienced some sort of trauma in their lives, but the effect of early trauma has not been fully examined in terms of its potential role in mistyping, maintaining the rigidity of defensive type patterns, and successfully achieving real growth and transformation. We will share our views about the ways unresolved early trauma may make it harder to grow and change, but also how we can deploy Enneagram insights to address and heal trauma to move beyond the defensive patterns of the 9 types and access higher potentials. Through lecture, dialogue, case study examples, and a live demonstration in which we will work with someone to highlight the interaction of trauma and personality patterns, we will share our approach to healing trauma through applying Enneagram-based ideas about the centers, the instincts, the types, and the subtypes.
How does the Enneagram describe the human personality so accurately? Why does it ring
a
bell so loudly?
The presenter will share insights gained in 50 years of
practice. Like many of you, he first learned the Enneagram in seminar-lectures and
discussions. He taught it in similar fashion during residential workshops. In many
ways,
that blend of socializing and discussing was a perfect way to internalize the
insights
of the personality theory.
When businesses and organizations asked for
access to the Enneagram, many were unwilling to commit to lengthy workshops and
residential expenses. Time is money and measurable results are not optional. Sharing
the
theory beyond North America introduced language and cultural issues.
Pat
will share how he learned to integrate the insights of the Enneagram into the
practice
of individual-counseling/therapy and organizational-development/consulting. He
learned
some important techniques to use the Enneagram without teaching it, per
se.
Join Pat as he unwraps the tools he developed while doing various kinds of
one-on-one
counseling. Small groups benefit from these similar interventions. Whether the
process
is behavioral-change or executive-search, the practitioner is much better equipped
to
attain the desired effect.
Larger groups benefit from some formal input.
But, the genius of the Enneagram is how it forms visual and visceral images of
behavior.
The descriptions go beyond stereotypes to reveal motivation and sub-consiousness.
These
insights can be authenticated through carefully-designed dynamics.

The presentation is designed to understand the function of the Moving, Thinking, and
Feeling Centers. The proper role of the Moving Center is 'the Will to Live'. The
Thinking Center represents the 'Will to See'. The Feeling Center plays a role in the
'Will to Be'. However, people only use One or Two Centers particularly, also they
tend
to indulge with One Center. My research is based on J.G.Bennett's work in the
lineage of
Gurdjieff.
Exercising the Gurdjieff movement, we can have a chance to
experience the pure intelligence of each Center. Exercises are designed to emphasize
the
natural functions and the integration of Three Centers. Using sensation, counting,
and
music of the Gurdjieff Movement can show us to see how we all are indulged with One
Center or Two Centers mostly. This presentation is meant to be experiential and a
deep
understanding of your Centers.
Enneagram and Somatic movement is an integrated approach to learning and
transformative
experience. The original Enneagram teaching pointed out that the ego-type is rooted
in
our anatomy. The field of somatic concern the human ability to experience the body
from
within and becoming aware of ourselves. The main principle is that body, emotion and
thought are an inseparable continuum, thus the mind is expressed through the body
and
the body through the mind.
Through specifics somatic practices of
embodiment
and application of anatomical, physiological and developmental principles we may
observe
and transform our mental, emotional and instinctual patterns. We may nail down the
process of perception by which information are filtered, distorted, generalised,
interpreted and acted upon. We discover how before being ordered into words,
thoughts
and emotions are often felt as pictures and movements. Movement is not just a form
of
expression, it is also as another sense to perceive the self and the environment. It
can
also be a pathway to facilitate changes in the relationship between body and mind.
Movement patterning influences how we process information, express ourselves and
function. Integrated ways of moving, feeling and thinking support the manifestation
of
higher level of consciousness.
Is it ethical? Is it wise? is it even possible? Accurate typing of an individual's
enneagram style is a complex balance of adequate knowledge, plenty of experience and
an abundance of humility. It is not without its challenges and even the most
experienced of teachers can make mistakes. We certainly have done our fair share of
incorrect typing. We have also been involved in disagreement with our own assessment
of our type and someone else's take on us.
In this presentation we would
like to take a fresh, and hopefully useful, look at what we have learned around what
works and does not work in typing people. Years of experience have made us look back
critically, as well as with an open mind, at the often complicated and delicate
process of identifying someone's Enneagram type.
Here are the main
points we will cover in our presentation:
It would be an honor to share some of what we've learned through decades
of
experience with our colleagues. Our own mistakes have helped bring us to to a place
of
either more accuracy in typing others or withholding our view and allowing a person
to
do
their own journey.
Your "Emotional Mastery Blueprint," the pie chart of your EQ Quiz, is based on the
Enneagram. It illuminates at a glance how much and how little you have of the gifts
and
challenges of all the Enneagram types.
More than just determining your
type,
it illustrates how all of your scores influence each other and impact you. The
result is
either empowering, bringing ease and flow to your life, or disempowering, causing
stress
and struggle, again and again. When you see these relationships, your Blueprint
becomes
a guide to the next steps in your growth.
When you combine this with
learning how to create new neural pathways for the change you want, change becomes
easy.
You will stand up and move. A "light" experience of EnneaMotion
will
guide you in embodying some of the gifts and some of the challenges or "Whammies"
that
can get in your way. Drawing from my Somatic Focusing coaching practice, you will
create
new neural pathways to break through any Whammies and embody a mental, emotional and
physical shift towards ease in living the life you want.
The Enneagram
then
becomes a doorway to your Emotional Mastery and a life with wholeness, ease and joy.
Are we allowing the full range of our human experience? How would our life be enhanced when we develop our capacity to access a full experience? From an early age, our thoughts, emotions, and ideas begin as sensory experience in the body. As our language and cognitive abilities develop, this fuller range of sensory response narrows to recognizable and predictable concepts and labels like love, joy, anger, fear. Over time we only experience the more patterned sensations associated with these labels. As our sensory abilities narrow, so does our capacity to respond to life from a broader field of depth, and presence. We often fall into habitual reactions which may not be in alignment with what is occurring in the moment. This workshop will explore how to stay present with the sensations of the body. Participants will be invited into experiencing the tissue correlations of the Instinctual Variants (Self Preservation, Sexual, and Social) and introduce participants to the 5 steps of alignment. All this to access our full experience of any moment. With this increased capacity to stay present, participants will observe personal patterns in their sensory reactions connected to their Enneagram Type. Come and play with Brian and Devon.
"Like those rank weeds, which only a soil the most corrupt can nourish, the root of
this
baneful vice must be sought among the basest passions of the human heart-those that
degrade our nature and are reproachful to our race. Hatred, jealousy, envy,
treachery
and wanton wickedness all unite in its propagation." (Samuel Walter Burges
-"Historical
Illustrations of the Origin and Progress of the Passions.")
In the
process
of typing, the true meaning of passions is usually overlooked. With statements
"carved
in stone" such as "Threes are competitive or "Twos are helpers", we lose the deeper
meaning of how our shadow works, swimming on the surface of behaviors, which lead in
time to a huge misunderstanding of the types and hence, mistyping.
In
this
session, Gonzalo & Gema will lead you on a journey through each one of the 9
passions 'definition and meaning, from Evagrius Ponticus to Oscar Ichazo, Claudio
Naranjo, and The Sufis, going back to basics, making you work in your own passion
with a
life timeline.
Most of us know that metaphors are great for communicating ideas, but did you know
that
they are also great for allowing your subconscious to bring important understandings
into consciousness? Metaphors are how we code experience. Our deepest wisdom about
situations is held metaphorically in our psyches and influence our approach to
problems
and goal achievement.
If you think of a problem as a barrier, you'll
want
"breakthrough" strategies. If you think you need to "get to the bottom of it,"
you'll
"dig deeper". If you think you're "drowning", you'll hope for a life preserver. If
you
feel "stuck," you'll try to get "unstuck" to "move forward". If your metaphor and
strategies are mismatched, you won't get very far. Similarly, in a relationship, if
one
of you thinks you're starving in a desert, and the other feels "swamped", a
satisfactory
joint resolution is not likely. In this fun session, you'll discover how inner
metaphors
work. We'll elicit people's metaphors as examples with Enneagram themes. You'll
explore
your own subjective experience in new ways and discover the power of eliciting
metaphors
in all life situations. Expect a lot of "ah-ha's" during the session, and even more
in
the days that follow.
Relationships are central to our lives and can be the source of our happiness or
sadness,
but nurturing them can be hard work. In this session we will present a model of
understanding relationships – those at home or those at work – through
the
Lens of the Instinctual Biases of the Enneagram.
Not only the nine
Ennea-types provide an understanding of the different ways we approach life and
hence
relationships—the three Instinctual Biases help us understand the things we
value
in life over others, and that when people have different dominant Instinctual Biases
their priorities differ:
Understanding the instinctual Biases helps us to understand why we may
get
along with some people but have conflict with others, and we can use the
simple-but-deep
Awareness to Action Process with the Instinctual Biases to build on common ground,
nurturing our relations by consciously create change in our narratives about them
and
our behaviors.
A strong aversion to failure is commonly associated with Type 3s, but every type has a relationship with this powerful human experience, which is part of our brain's hardwired process of learning. This workshop will explore how the Enneagram can help us uncover barriers and levers to growth through understanding the unique patterns each type develops in the "before, during and after" of failure — anticipating, experiencing and learning (or not). We will share the neuroscience of experiencing a sense of failure. Participants will learn type-based practices to harness the power of failure for development for personal application and with clients.
Someone's experience of their Enneagram style is multi-sensory, especially when they
are
reacting from the low side of their style. There is an underlying body feeling,
typical
emotions, a story we tell ourselves and imagery that express our self-image and
unconscious picture of "the world." Working with imagery is especially useful for
changing compulsive fixated reactions and outgrowing the defensive limits of your
Enneagram style.
Our self-image is deeply unconscious and attached to
memories, roles, habitual emotions. It even has a body location. In the trance of
our
Enneagram style we are attached to our image and unconsciously believe we don't
exist
without it. Some overdefended compulsive behavior is an attempt to maintain this
historical picture of ourselves, despite the fact that the world around us keeps
changing.
In this session we will explore, identify and experience how
we
maintain self-images related to our Enneagram styles. You will learn how to reduce
their
influence, evoke the gifts and strengths of your style and live more freely in the
present.
Suitable for Enneagram students, coaches, counselors,
therapists,
as well as anyone wanting to use the Enneagram to grow and change.

This is an innovative experiential work to discover the “Soul Child”, the way it
operates
in each Type, meet it and embrace its inner structure.
The session is based
upon
work on the Enneagram symbol on the floor, through a specifically designed exercise,
inspired from both the Life Script and the Family Constellation techniques.
From
a slightly different understanding of the “Inner flow” and the Enneagram arrows, the
“Soul Child”, named after A. H. Almaas and developed by Sandra Maitri is basically a
part of us that was not held or allowed to develop at a very young age. It remained
immature at an Ennapoint while our personality grew to the following point in
reaction
to it. It is a deeper layer within our personality structure that retains access to
Essence.
Finding this Soul child and reaching out to it allows us to get in
contact with the Essential Qualities, that were essentially available to us before
their
light was dim by the personality.
At an unprecedented time of global unrest this session is designed to demonstrate the power of the Enneagram in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Anti-racism work. Diversity encompasses all the ways that we are similar and all the ways that we are different. A panel of students from the IEA Accredited 2020-21 Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Anti-Racism Training Certification for Enneagram Practitioners will share their transformative experiences through the powerful inner work & the experiential learning modules. This Cohort has representatives from every Enneagram point and represents both BIPOC & Non-BIPOC perspectives. There is representation from Enneagram practitioners ranging from counselors, teachers, therapists and influencers. The panel will discuss the challenges they faced while addressing their own implicit biases, individual racial trauma, & the inner work of unraveling their racial identity through the wisdom of the Enneagram. These Enneagram Practitioners explore the tangible solutions & results of their experience in their own fields of work across psychotherapy, relationship counseling & spiritual guidance. This enlightening session is designed to help the Enneagram community to understand how the Enneagram can be used as a powerful healing mechanism for reconnecting humanity and healing the cracks and division of our human mosaic.
This presentation will explore 5 basic emotional needs for: secure attachments;
autonomy/competence/identity; freedom to express needs and emotions;
spontaneity/play;
and realistic limits/self-control.
If these 5 core emotional needs are
not
sufficiently met, we might fashion 18 maladaptive schemas grouped under these 5
areas.
What’s not to love here? We’ll see what research has shown
about
which enneagram types prefer which maladaptive schemas. And we’ll consider
alternate adaptive schemas to replace these not-so-helpful ones.
This presentation will focus on the journey towards wisdom through the Essential
Enneagram Approach (by Cris Bolívar), a comprehensive and integrated vision
that
accompanies our alchemical journey towards harmonization, a transpersonal
philosophical-psycho-spiritual view for transformation, development of spirituality
and
consciousness. The Essential Enneagram Approach is the application of the principles
of
Essentiality with a focus on wisdom.
Throughout the presentation, the
transpersonal process will be revealed from the egotype, the healing of the wound,
the
enneatypes, the completeness of the Being, the holy ideas towards
wisdom.
For this, key concepts of Essentiality and Alchemy will be contributed, with their
nigredo, albedo and rubedo phases and what they represent in the journey of
transmutation of the Being, relating them to the laws and the different levels and
stages of the Being of the Sufi Enneagram.
With an active methodology,
reflections, debate, meditations, examples, applications and useful tools will be
interwoven both for personal development and to accompany others through Essential
Coaching. A presentation aimed at discovering powerful and innovative elements of
the
Essentiality, revealing and inspiring both for Enneagram experts and for people who
are
new to it.
This presentation will address the correlation between the Enneagram types and their
predominant Relational Needs and the correlation of Basic Life Scripts with the
triads.
The Relational Needs are based on Richard Erskine’s
(Integrative psychotherapist) work where he describes 8 relational needs and to
which I
have added the 9th (with his consent) in order to correlate each enneatype with a
predominant relational need.
The Basic Life Scripts are based on Transactional Analysis and
specifically
on Claude Steiner’s Book “Scripts People live” where he concludes
there are 3 Basic Life scripts which I will correlate with the triads:
I will present the theory with power point and provide written material
to
participants so they can identify themselves individually. Then they will contrast
their
finding in breakout groups by triad and enneatype, followed by Q&A.
What if we could combine the new modern way of using the Enneagram with the original
wisdom of the Enneagram without losing anything but instead enriching the way we
engage
with the Enneagram and what if we could reach across time bringing the earlier
practical
mindset of Gurdjieff and Ichazo into our present and future only to broaden the
understanding of ourselves and the community we live in. In this workshop you will
be
introduced to some of the original mindset about the Enneagram, where the focus was
less
"How do I find my type?" and more "How do I integrate all 9 Points in my personal
development?". We will explore the unique psychological and spiritual openings from
each
Point, and examine how every Point has profound human qualities to be explored no
matter
what type you can relate to.
If you are new to the Enneagram you will
discover a more flexible approach to the Enneagram, while more experienced
enthusiasts
will explore new practical ways of integrating the original teaching in their
personal
practices, teaching or coaching.
Each enneatype has classic emotional tendencies and coping strategies. Sometimes
these
strategies work pretty well for us, but often we see ways they create trouble for us
and
others.
Emotions are essential for our heart's compass and well-being.
However, most of us struggle to be with our aversive emotions (sadness, fear,
anger). We
may over-identify with our feelings or want to get away from them as quickly as
possible. This has us miss out on their transformative potential.
Learning
how to navigate emotions in a way that helps understand them and allow them to move
through us can be life-changing. Even emotions that have had us feeling vulnerable
or
helpless in the past have the potential to be important allies for our
soul.
You will learn practices to host your emotions consciously— with respect and
care,
but not indulgence. You will learn to shift toward having your emotions instead of
letting them have you.
Through lecture, exercises and discussion, you
will
expand your capacity to transform emotional reactivity and avoidance into alignment,
healing, and fuel for change. Using our three centers, let's reach beyond our usual
strategies to experience ourselves in fresh, generative ways!
"Reaching Across..." includes reaching out across the depths and dimensions of our being
and our psyche. Within this session, we'll explore the transpersonal nature of the
Enneagram symbol using mat work. This technique incorporates systemic constellation, the
Enneagram and the Holy Ideas & Virtues. The Enneagram symbol contains access to the
universal language of the collective unconscious. Within it, we can access numerous
aspects that make up our human and spiritual experience. Using the spiral movement that
I personally experienced through levels of development and consciousness, I applied this
onto the mat using the client's personal triangle.
Within this session,
attendees will be; given a step-by-step demonstration to use the technique The Spiral
Staircase©; introduced to some suggested affirmations that can be used for each type at
the various stages of the process, and bonus access to the full demo.
The state of Unity and the realization that we are all inherently connected dominates
spiritual teachings. Oneness is contained within the Enneagram symbol itself. But
what
allows this teaching to become real and integrated? What is it that blocks this
experience and what supports it? We might start by asking "Who is the one
connecting?"
and "What does one connect from?" Thus, this session focuses on heart
consciousness.
The emerging body of work named EnneaCrossings(TM)
integrates
two powerful symbols that reflect the spiritual journey: the Enneagram and the
cross-cultural cross. This integrative symbol helps us move toward less self as we
have
known it and toward non-duality and interconnectedness. It includes four
intersections
between our horizontal (finite) and vertical (Infinite) natures. For this session,
we
focus on the intersection of Communion which links Enneagram points 7 and 2 and
connects
directly with the heart center.
You are invited to use a personally
relevant
question as a reflective touchstone throughout this session which includes lecture,
meditation, inquiry and somatic awareness. The ever-present dynamic of push-pull
between
our finite and Infinite natures is especially evident in the heart center, along
with
the potential for reconciliation.
In this session we will explore the nature of the inner observer from perspectives in
cognitive science, adult ego psychology and mysticism, discovering what it is
thought to
be, evidence for why developing the capacity for self-observation is so beneficial,
and
some of the practices that are found to most enhance it.
As Enneagram
teachers, coaches and practitioners, how is a self-reading system like the
Enneagram, a
map and a mirror of the psyche, helpful in cultivating self-observation (from
meta-cognition to interoception), and where do we need to find processes to meet its
content and avoid the pitfalls of getting stuck in typology?
This
session
draws on my PhD research in this field, and will involve a presentation as well as
experiential processes to access and experientially explore different inner states.
Exploring Enneagram pairings when in conflict/stress and giving them tools to benefit their conflict resolution. Types covered will be, types 7 and 9, types 1 and 6, types 4 and 8 and types 2 and 5, types 3 and 6. It will be a beginning discussion to give any combination of pairing a deepened communication skill set. When we meet the need of the other and of ourselves we begin to deal with the cause not the just symptom or behavior. We would use the wisdom of the Enneagram to deal with the deeper cause of the problem. I will cover in "general" some ways (learned in marriage preparation facilitation retreat work,) to achieve authentic intimacy skills for all 9 types and "specific" ideas for the Enneagram pairs that would benefit their conflict resolution work. Other good contributions would be added in the discussion part of the format, because there is always wisdom in the group . We will look at specific security and stress states within 2 types and use Enneagram wisdom, and practice to work the problem through. For example we will name the passion that may have a hold on the type in stress or conflict as well as their blindspot and give ways to work through their blindspot and passion. For example type 9 Peaceful mediator may miss that they were "ignoring type 7 all week," so says type 7, but with type 9 naming and owning their own passion of sloth/withdrawal and blindspot-avoidance of conflict may see or be reminded of their truth and state of stress. With type 7 naming and owning the passion of gluttony (allota much) and blindspot of avoiding limits, as their stress reaction, they see how they may have contributed to the conflict (how it happened,) and can go for a win -win. I'd like to present scenarios showing insights for problem solving for the specific pairs and open it up for discussion. 60% presentation, 30% discussion and 10% experiential writing exercise processing the conflict using new found awareness and aligned centers of head heart and gut.
Do you experience frustrating relationship patterns with your partner? Would you like
to
learn how to improve communication and conflict resolution by understanding and
shifting
type habits? When partners in a couple struggle to reach each other, it's often
because
they are running up against the limitations of their Enneagram type. This
presentation
will focus on two angles: Areas of growth specific to your Enneagram type for true
fulfillment in your relationship, as well as ways to reach your partner in
accordance
with the habits of their type.
This presentation will explore:
Sharing from Cindy Leong's 5-year research on 1to1 coaching sessions with 1000 singles, let's dive deep to understand why are some eligible individuals finding it hard to fall in love here in Asia. Also the "Resident Love Expert" on Mediacorp FM Class 95 (the number 1 radio station in Singapore), join us to also receive practical tips on how to keep your relationships strong, especially in challenging times like this.
This intermediate workshop will introduce participants to the phenomena of psychological and spiritual bypassing, how they differ and interact, and how they impact our Enneagram theory and practice. We will review materials from John Welwood, Robert A. Masters and other transpersonal psychologists to understand spiritual bypassing and why it has been such a hot topic of discussion these past 25 yrs. Then we will look at Roberto Assagioli and his psychospiritual system known as Psychosynthesis in order to better understand what has become known in some circles as psychological bypassing, which is a "tendency to get overly fascinated with and absorbed in our own personal process. It can be so fascinating to delve into our emotions, archetypes, dreams or relationships... To treat this kind of self-examining as the ultimate journey is to risk becoming narcissistic, a kind of'emotional junkie'..." Special emphasis will be on the famous Egg Diagram of the human psyche by Assagioli, as well as his descriptions of the Higher and Lower Unconscious, and how we may, for various reasons, dynamically repress the Higher Unconscious to our detriment. We will discuss the possibility that we may have an "enlightenment drive" (Almaas and Maitri) and "metaphysical instincts" (Shirazi).
This interactive workshop weaves the breathwork meditations of Kundalini Yoga with
the
habits of attention and personality styles of the Enneagram. The session offers an
overview of each Enneagram type including the somatic experience of each habit of
attention. The workshop then invites the audience to participate in nine Kundalini
Yoga
meditations, one specific to each Enneagram type. These meditations can be practiced
by
people of all physical abilities, and the workshop is geared to accommodate a range
of
people new to the Enneagram and very advanced practitioners.
Kundalini
Yoga,
the yoga of awareness, is a technology specifically designed to strengthen the
nervous
system and increase breath control. The breath, yogically referred to as the
steering
wheel for our thoughts, is developed and refined through the meditations of
Kundalini
Yoga. Kundalini Yoga offers thousands of meditations and in this workshop, you learn
specific meditations to help address the challenges of each habit of attention. In
as
little as a three-minute daily practice, you can begin to experience the benefits of
increased breath control and how your breathing affects your thoughts.
Through a card deck with a graphic universe loaded with symbolism and in which we
have
captured years of study and work with the Enneagram, we want to provide a practical
tool, that allows women that are just starting to walk their path of personal
development and those professionals that work with women and want to incorporate
this
information on their profesional practices, to explore and develop the nine
dimensions
or goddesses that live within each woman, so they can access new ways of seeing the
world, enhance their skills and integrate their gifts to live a more fulfilling
life.
Within this symbolic universe, each goddess belongs to an element
or
energy center (fire = instinct, water = emotions, air = mind), has an animal that
represents the goddess strategy, a flower that representes what that goddess has to
offer to those around her in terms of her gifts and virtues, an object that
represent
the holy ideas, and a crystal that allow the woman to connect with the essence of
the
goddess.
Parents are ready to move away from authoritarian and permissive models of parenting towards relationship-based models that focus on healthy attachment and connection. Great parents know that a culture of connection in the home is built on a foundation of Presence. The Enneagram reveals what blocks our capacity to be present to our children and how our parenting "blind spots" prohibit the very connection we seek. The Enneagram also helps us to answer the question, "Who is showing up to parent — YOU — or your personality pattern?" As we learn to be more Present, we come into contact with our own inner adult or "Essence Parent", the part of us that has the capacity to hold not only our own big reactions with compassion, but our children's big feelings as well. This compassionate holding and awareness starts to soften our personality's contractions and allows us to grow into the leaders we most want to be as parents. Real life examples will be given of parents who have used the Enneagram to create deeper connections with their children, to heal their own lost childhood messages, and to transform difficult parenting moments into opportunities for spiritual and psychological growth.
Perhaps working only on Type Egofixations we are limiting our seeking. What if we discover we have to work on other shadows than the fixation corresponding only to our Type? When we understand the multidimensional System the Enneagram is, we can trace richer paths of transformation. In this session we will explore 2 dimensions of personality and discover what potential Egofixations could have settled down in our personality according to our balanced or unbalanced energy flows (Naranjo´s Polarities), or according to how structural layers of personality have decanted (Naranjo's Symmetries); We will explore these potential Egofixations and its Antidotes to facilitate transformation reaching across growth beyond Type. Participants will be able to dowload handouts from the Conferencee App to work within groups through interactive conversations. They will be able to find out which potential Egofixations they share with other Types. Participants who would like to explore more thoroughly the present resources or potential fixations of their personality will be encouraged to take previously an online assessment and receive the results to work with during the session by contacting viviana.trucco@gmail.com to receive the password.
In this presentation, participants will be guided on a journey through the 9 Points
of
the Enneagram, through a deep and invigorating state of hypnotic trance.
Each of
the 9 points (frequencies or energy Rays) will be experienced by the 3 centers of
intelligence (mind, heart and body), through images, visualizations, emotions,
colors,
symbols, sensations, sounds and body reactions.
At each enneagram point,
regardless of the participants Enneagram Type, a vertical journey will be done.
Starting
from the lower frequencies and moving towards the higher frequencies, each person
will
recognize within him (her) self these energies and consciousness
transitions.
The presenter as a teacher, author and trainer in the themes of Enneagram and Energy
Work for the last fifteen years, will provide a safe and loving container for this
deep
journey. It will be a profound, subtle, exciting and healing experience.
Join us
in moving through the sacred symbol and the energies of the multidimensional
Enneagram.
This presentation will reverberate for a long time in the waters of your
consciousness.
You are your voice. Your struggle, passion, fixation, past, present and potential can
all
be heard through the vibrational frequency of your sound, your voice.
In my
work, most clients reported that the types they understood the least were the head
types. To reach across to and with the head types, voice provided a perfect channel
for
us to understand more deeply about the types.
Voice connects with both your
body
and your heart. It is a perfect pathway for the head types to get out of the head,
make
breakthroughs and achieve growth, so they can reach across to the other types, in a
more
meaningful and authentic way.
"Most of us were trained in a zoo, but we operate in a jungle" (Sonja
Blignaut).
VUCA is not a theory anymore. Our Schools and Universities prepare us for a
predictable
world of business strategy and project plans. We are trained for "order". Our office
buildings, bureaucratic hierarchies, org design structures look like Zoos, even
Coffee
stations has a designated place. We have a 10-year business plan, but we do not know
what will happen next week is our new reality. The jungle (Covid 19) crossed over to
our
"ordered" cities, businesses, schools, and way of living. Our ordered Zoo life has
been
challenged.
However, in a jungle, we instinctively know we have to look
after
ourselves (watch where we step), have one on one relationships (connect with
individual
others) and participate in Groups (if not, I am food). I will share examples of how
the
Enneagram Instincts are all dancing harmoniously in natural ecosystems and what it
means
for effective human systems.
This session will also explore how an Increased
level of mindfulness and a good understanding of Complex Adaptive system principles
(jungle), enable us to Thrive, not just Survive in a new normal.
Many of us do spiritual work on the deepest levels possible. called soul work, the
process of knowing our innermost being is an immense undertaking. many of us
immersed in
spiritual work, are focused on the level of personality. But our truest identity is
far
beneath the ego and the personality. Our truest identity is our soul.
When
we
know the qualities that compose our soul and how we manifest them or not, we have a
greater understanding of what our deepest inner work must address.
In this
presentation, you will find and experience the unique qualities of your own soul
through
lecture, teaching, guided imagery, visual aids, video and interactive discussion,
you
will understand the nine soul types as well as the Enneagram of soul. Applications
for
soul types and the Enneagram of soul will be presented for the individual and for
collectives.
If we know our souls, we know what motivates us on our deeest
levels, and if we reconnect with our essential nature and goodness we see the way to
peace. Reaching across from ego to soul is a game changer for our way of moving and
perceiving the world. And that amazing "reach" enables us to understand, to
communicate
with and to affirm our fellow souls wherever on earth they may be. This workshop is
based on the work of Dr. Joe Howell in his new book, Know Your Soul: Journeying with
the
Enneagram into Inner and Outer Peace, Crossroad Publishers. In Press.
In the workshop the participants will learn and have a possibility to try out an evidence-based coaching and therapy tool Mind-Body Bridging (MBB) which increases self-regulation skills and coping strategies while promoting psychological resilience and find the connection with the enneagram. MBB helps us to notice the difference when our brain is not functioning at best filling the mind with clutter, the body with tension and we experience stress, and then learn to access the natural resources of our brain and mind. MBB has research evidence of being effective for eg. treating with stress, PTSD, anxiety, sleep problems and addictions. It also has been proven to be useful in organizations, as part of leadership development trainings as well as in team and individual coaching. It will be explored the connection between the enneagram and MBB eg. how MBB exercises can be helpful in finding the enneagram types the person resonates with the most and how the enneagram and MBB can be integrated in coaching in developing resilience.
The goal of "Enneagram and Personal Power©", we would like to present is the result
of
combining the Enneagram, a universal powerful tool for understanding the human being
with "The Keys to Personal Power Management three A©", and" the Star of
Self-realization©" both designed by me. This is the result of ten years' work
observation and experience with Enneagrams in business contexts, training and
coaching
more than 1,000 persons, and the wish to offer an operational tool to foster
personal
development in professional contexts where effective and efficient results are
required.
"The Enneagram of Personal Power©" describes the thoughts, feelings and behaviors
that
each ennea-types must promote to develop every competencies that allow to reach
self-realization. This model, used in coaching and training contexts, helps
professionals, in a simple way, to understand the work to have to be done to free
their
talent — to connect to their Self- and to find easier to remember what to do always
-
Consciousness. In short, it is a model that aims to bring the spiritual world within
the
business world in an understandable and practical way to perform.
This model
used for almost a year in business contexts has been successfully presented one
times in
Congress of Enneagram.
Parents are ready to move away from authoritarian and permissive models of parenting towards relationship-based models that focus on healthy attachment and connection. Great parents know that a culture of connection in the home is built on a foundation of Presence.

Real life examples will be given of parents who have used the Enneagram to create deeper connections with their children, to heal their own lost childhood messages, and to transform difficult parenting moments into opportunities for spiritual and psychological growth.
This workshop will take the participants through physical exercises, movements that are designed to express the energies, ideas and feelings of each of the types. The Enneagram is not designed to place you in a type box. The Enneagram in designed to teach us about the importance of each center and how to align them. Too often we sit in a chair, listen and intellectualize the ideas around these energies. The feeling through movement and sensation can bring a new level of understanding to the Types.
Do you experience frustrating relationship patterns with your partner? Would you like
to
learn how to improve communication and conflict resolution by understanding and
shifting
type habits? When partners in a couple struggle to reach each other, it's often
because
they are running up against the limitations of their Enneagram type. This
presentation
will focus on two angles: Areas of growth specific to your Enneagram type for true
fulfillment in your relationship, as well as ways to reach your partner in
accordance
with the habits of their type.
This presentation will explore:
Your Vitality Personality is the highest expression of your EnneaType. It is the
antidote
to your unconscious "Ego-Driven" compulsion toward self-sabotage. It frees you to
choose
"Consciousness-Directed" behaviors that generate vitality - the joyful state of
physical, mental and spiritual well being. Your ego is your survival mechanism,
driving
behavior that creates conflict and destruction. This is your default wiring -- when
you
are unaware of yourself, your ego automates your thoughts, feelings, and
actions.
Your Higher Consciousness is the real you—a powerful, eternal
energetic
being. In regularly connecting with this aspect of yourself, you become your best
self,
which heals, restores, and uplifts you. The journey moving out of Ego-Driven and
into
Consciousness-Directed behavior is the process of awakening. It is not necessarily
easy
or fast. And yet, coming awake to yourself is the only way out of a painful
existence,
and is the most empowering, exciting work you will ever do.
Learn more about
your EnneaType's inherent Ego-Driven Survival Belief, Compulsion, and Survival
Behavior,
which combine to create your specific Sabotage Pattern...and how to free yourself
from
these through embracing your Consciousness-Directed Vital Truth, Liberation, and
Vitality Behavior, creating a new life of vitality that serves your Highest Purpose.
The Enneagram is ultimately a map of non-fixated, awakened consciousness and human
wholeness. It is universally applicable to every dimension of life - beyond belief
systems, cultures, or modalities. In this pivotal time in our world, how can we
accelerate the integration of the authentic depth of the Enneagram to every aspect
of
life.
Where are we? Where are we going? And what’s needed to
uplevel
the full transformational potential of the Enneagram personally and
collectively?
As the Founder and Host of the Enneagram Global Summits,
with
a dedicated vision to supporting cooperation, collaboration, and creativity in the
field, Jessica is in a unique position to talk about the potential, the shadows, the
trends, and the calls of the Enneagram field today. We will gather to hear about
these,
and learn what we can do in our practice and life to contribute to the
Enneagram’s
transformational impact for humanity. There will be learning, sharing, experiential
exercises and dialogue. We will expand our knowledge, vision, and orientations to
empower and embody our capacity to transmit the Love, wisdom, presence and
creativity
that the Enneagram can contribute to the challenges and promises of life and our
world
today.
The Integral Enneagram model is the integration of three main components:
The Enneagram: a profoundly enlightening human psychospiritual model that reveals
the
hidden patterns of human drives, motivational systems, survival strategies, and
meaning
making methods of life.
Stages of the Mind: the mapping of the journey
of
each of the 9 Enneagram types along the stages of cognitive capacity and complexity
development. For cognitive capacity development the model uses the Spiral Dynamics
Integral as the main backbone, in addition to the work of Ken Wilber, Piaget,
Gebser,
Maslow, and other transpersonal and developmental scientists and their
models.
Stages of the Heart: the spiritual journey of each of the 9
types
from deep fixation to a sense of mystical unity and oneness. The Sufi 7 stages of
development of the ego/self are used as the backbone of the model, in addition to
numerous other spiritual works from diverse religious and philosophical
backgrounds.
The three models together create a 3D map, providing an
accurate diagnosis of the individual personality traits, cognitive and intellectual
value systems, and spiritual capacity for presence and oneness.
As human beings we share the Universal Desire to love and to be loved. And, as human
beings we also share the Universal Truth of being separated from the Universal
Source of
Love. In this presentation we will explore the fundamental meaning of Recovery as
the
Universal Journey back to the Source of Love.
Join Anne Geary, Founder
of
The Enneagram Approach, which combines the Enneagram Map and the Twelve Steps of
Recovery, to experience a powerful and pragmatic process to recover your personal
truth
as the bridge across the divide between your Ego and Essence.
Your "Emotional Mastery Blueprint," the pie chart of your EQ Quiz, is based on the
Enneagram. It illuminates at a glance how much and how little you have of the gifts
and
challenges of all the Enneagram types.
More than just determining your type,
it
illustrates how all of your scores influence each other and impact you. The result
is
either empowering, bringing ease and flow to your life, or disempowering, causing
stress
and struggle, again and again. When you see these relationships, your Blueprint
becomes
a guide to the next steps in your growth.
When you combine this with
learning
how to create new neural pathways for the change you want, change becomes
easy.
You will stand up and move. A "light" experience of EnneaMotion will guide you in
embodying some of the gifts and some of the challenges or "Whammies" that can get in
your way. Drawing from my Somatic Focusing coaching practice, you will create new
neural
pathways to break through any Whammies and embody a mental, emotional and physical
shift
towards ease in living the life you want.
The Enneagram then becomes a
doorway
to your Emotional Mastery and a life with wholeness, ease and joy.
Are we allowing the full range of our human experience? How would our life be enhanced when we develop our capacity to access a full experience? From an early age, our thoughts, emotions, and ideas begin as sensory experience in the body. As our language and cognitive abilities develop, this fuller range of sensory response narrows to recognizable and predictable concepts and labels like love, joy, anger, fear. Over time we only experience the more patterned sensations associated with these labels. As our sensory abilities narrow, so does our capacity to respond to life from a broader field of depth, and presence. We often fall into habitual reactions which may not be in alignment with what is occurring in the moment. This workshop will explore how to stay present with the sensations of the body. Participants will be invited into experiencing the tissue correlations of the Instinctual Variants (Self Preservation, Sexual, and Social) and introduce participants to the 5 steps of alignment. All this to access our full experience of any moment. With this increased capacity to stay present, participants will observe personal patterns in their sensory reactions connected to their Enneagram Type. Come and play with Brian and Devon.
"Like those rank weeds, which only a soil the most corrupt can nourish, the root of
this
baneful vice must be sought among the basest passions of the human heart-those that
degrade our nature and are reproachful to our race. Hatred, jealousy, envy,
treachery
and wanton wickedness all unite in its propagation." (Samuel Walter Burges
-"Historical
Illustrations of the Origin and Progress of the Passions.")
In the
process
of typing, the true meaning of passions is usually overlooked. With statements
"carved
in stone" such as "Threes are competitive or "Twos are helpers", we lose the deeper
meaning of how our shadow works, swimming on the surface of behaviors, which lead in
time to a huge misunderstanding of the types and hence, mistyping.
In
this
session, Gonzalo & Gema will lead you on a journey through each one of the 9
passions 'definition and meaning, from Evagrius Ponticus to Oscar Ichazo, Claudio
Naranjo, and The Sufis, going back to basics, making you work in your own passion
with a
life timeline.
We are not truly free to thrive until everyone is free to thrive- until we all feel
safety and support to be, express, and love who and what we love. We know this, yet
billions of people on our planet are not as free as those identified with a dominant
culture.
This will be an honest unplugged conversation in which grief,
rage, love and potential are welcome - first between the panelists, and then with
the
Conference community. The Enneagram can guide individuals to liberate oppressed and
locked parts of themselves to live an authentic and fully expressed life. It is one
of
the most powerful tools on the planet for creating equitable community, where all
are
valued. Social Equity Leaders are now using the Enneagram in powerful and
(r)evolutionary ways to address the “othering” that happens through “isms” such as
racism, sexism, colonialism, ageism, and gender expression, sexual orientation,
political identity and more.
The Enneagram community must also examine
its
own biases, shadows, and misconceptions so we can contribute to ending oppression of
all
kinds and creating a world of interdependent honoring, caring and support of
ALL.
In this session the panelists will each explore these topics from
the
lens of their own experience of race, gender, sexual orientation and culture. Then
we
will open a dialogue with the conference community.
• Building conscious
and
liberated community by supporting the evolution of consciousness with the
Enneagram
• Decolonizing the self and relationships: liberating
internalized
oppression
• Building resilience from the scars of oppression and
violence -
riding the waves of awareness about racial injustice in 2020 and 2021
This is an innovative experiential work to discover the “Soul Child”, the
way
it operates in each Type, meet it and embrace its inner structure.
The
session is based upon work on the Enneagram symbol on the floor, through a
specifically
designed exercise, inspired from both the Life Script and the Family Constellation
techniques.
From a slightly different understanding of the “Inner
flow” and the Enneagram arrows, the “Soul Child”, named after A.
H.
Almaas and developed by Sandra Maitri is basically a part of us that was not held or
allowed to develop at a very young age. It remained immature at an Ennapoint while
our
personality grew to the following point in reaction to it. It is a deeper layer
within
our personality structure that retains access to Essence.
Finding this
Soul
child and reaching out to it allows us to get in contact with the Essential
Qualities,
that were essentially available to us before their light was dim by the personality.
Sharing from Cindy Leong's 5-year research on 1to1 coaching sessions with 1000 singles, let's dive deep to understand why are some eligible individuals finding it hard to fall in love here in Asia.

the holy ideas, and a crystal that allow the woman to connect with the essence of
the

The true beauty of the Enneagram is the fact that it´s a useful and
powerful
tool for personal growth and development. But also, the symbol itself and its
brilliant
geometrical construction and inherent mathematical symmetry in fact holds quite a
bit of
beauty, too.
This session is about the mathematical beauty embedded in
the
Enneagram an consists of three parts, each corresponding to one of the three
elements of
the Enneagram symbol, the circle, the triangle and the sequence of the numbers
1,4,2,8,5
and 7.
Some of the visible and the invisible geometrical formations and
numerical sequences in the Enneagram will be shown along with the magic of the
number
nine, the core number of the Enneagram. Furthermore, the Fibonacci sequence, the
sphere
and the platonic solids and their connection to the Enneagram symbol will be
discussed.
Participants of the workshop will also find out three ways of
constructing/designing the Enneagram symbol with compasses, ruler and protractor.
This presentation will focus on the journey towards wisdom through the Essential
Enneagram Approach (by Cris Bolívar), a comprehensive and integrated vision
that
accompanies our alchemical journey towards harmonization, a transpersonal
philosophical-psycho-spiritual view for transformation, development of spirituality
and
consciousness. The Essential Enneagram Approach is the application of the principles
of
Essentiality with a focus on wisdom.
Throughout the presentation, the
transpersonal process will be revealed from the egotype, the healing of the wound,
the
enneatypes, the completeness of the Being, the holy ideas towards
wisdom.
For this, key concepts of Essentiality and Alchemy will be contributed, with their
nigredo, albedo and rubedo phases and what they represent in the journey of
transmutation of the Being, relating them to the laws and the different levels and
stages of the Being of the Sufi Enneagram.
With an active methodology,
reflections, debate, meditations, examples, applications and useful tools will be
interwoven both for personal development and to accompany others through Essential
Coaching. A presentation aimed at discovering powerful and innovative elements of
the
Essentiality, revealing and inspiring both for Enneagram experts and for people who
are
new to it.
What if we could combine the new modern way of using the Enneagram with the original
wisdom of the Enneagram without losing anything but instead enriching the way we
engage
with the Enneagram and what if we could reach across time bringing the earlier
practical
mindset of Gurdjieff and Ichazo into our present and future only to broaden the
understanding of ourselves and the community we live in. In this workshop you will
be
introduced to some of the original mindset about the Enneagram, where the focus was
less
"How do I find my type?" and more "How do I integrate all 9 Points in my personal
development?". We will explore the unique psychological and spiritual openings from
each
Point, and examine how every Point has profound human qualities to be explored no
matter
what type you can relate to.
If you are new to the Enneagram you will
discover a more flexible approach to the Enneagram, while more experienced
enthusiasts
will explore new practical ways of integrating the original teaching in their
personal
practices, teaching or coaching.
In this presentation, participants will be guided on a journey through the 9 Points
of
the Enneagram, through a deep and invigorating state of hypnotic trance.
Each of the 9 points (frequencies or energy Rays) will be experienced by the 3
centers
of intelligence (mind, heart and body), through images, visualizations, emotions,
colors, symbols, sensations, sounds and body reactions.
At each
enneagram
point, regardless of the participants Enneagram Type, a vertical journey will be
done.
Starting from the lower frequencies and moving towards the higher frequencies, each
person will recognize within him (her) self these energies and consciousness
transitions.
The presenter as a teacher, author and trainer in the
themes of
Enneagram and Energy Work for the last fifteen years, will provide a safe and loving
container for this deep journey. It will be a profound, subtle, exciting and healing
experience.
Join us in moving through the sacred symbol and the energies
of
the multidimensional Enneagram. This presentation will reverberate for a long time
in
the waters of your consciousness.
"Reaching Across..." includes reaching out across the depths and dimensions of our being
and our psyche. Within this session, we'll explore the transpersonal nature of the
Enneagram symbol using mat work. This technique incorporates systemic constellation, the
Enneagram and the Holy Ideas & Virtues. The Enneagram symbol contains access to the
universal language of the collective unconscious. Within it, we can access numerous
aspects that make up our human and spiritual experience. Using the spiral movement that
I personally experienced through levels of development and consciousness, I applied this
onto the mat using the client's personal triangle.
Within this session,
attendees will be; given a step-by-step demonstration to use the technique The Spiral
Staircase©; introduced to some suggested affirmations that can be used for each type at
the various stages of the process, and bonus access to the full demo.
Many of us do spiritual work on the deepest levels possible. called soul work, the
process of knowing our innermost being is an immense undertaking. many of us
immersed in
spiritual work, are focused on the level of personality. But our truest identity is
far
beneath the ego and the personality. Our truest identity is our soul.
When
we know the qualities that compose our soul and how we manifest them or not, we have
a
greater understanding of what our deepest inner work must address.
In
this
presentation, you will find and experience the unique qualities of your own soul
through
lecture, teaching, guided imagery, visual aids, video and interactive discussion,
you
will understand the nine soul types as well as the Enneagram of soul. Applications
for
soul types and the Enneagram of soul will be presented for the individual and for
collectives.
If we know our souls, we know what motivates us on our
deeest
levels, and if we reconnect with our essential nature and goodness we see the way to
peace. Reaching across from ego to soul is a game changer for our way of moving and
perceiving the world. And that amazing "reach" enables us to understand, to
communicate
with and to affirm our fellow souls wherever on earth they may be. This workshop is
based on the work of Dr. Joe Howell in his new book, Know Your Soul: Journeying with
the
Enneagram into Inner and Outer Peace, Crossroad Publishers. In Press.
The state of Unity and the realization that we are all inherently connected dominates
spiritual teachings. Oneness is contained within the Enneagram symbol itself. But
what
allows this teaching to become real and integrated? What is it that blocks this
experience and what supports it? We might start by asking "Who is the one
connecting?"
and "What does one connect from?" Thus, this session focuses on heart
consciousness.
The emerging body of work named EnneaCrossings(TM)
integrates
two powerful symbols that reflect the spiritual journey: the Enneagram and the
cross-cultural cross. This integrative symbol helps us move toward less self as we
have
known it and toward non-duality and interconnectedness. It includes four
intersections
between our horizontal (finite) and vertical (Infinite) natures. For this session,
we
focus on the intersection of Communion which links Enneagram points 7 and 2 and
connects
directly with the heart center.
You are invited to use a personally
relevant
question as a reflective touchstone throughout this session which includes lecture,
meditation, inquiry and somatic awareness. The ever-present dynamic of push-pull
between
our finite and Infinite natures is especially evident in the heart center, along
with
the potential for reconciliation.
In this session we will explore the nature of the inner observer from perspectives in
cognitive science, adult ego psychology and mysticism, discovering what it is
thought to
be, evidence for why developing the capacity for self-observation is so beneficial,
and
some of the practices that are found to most enhance it.
As Enneagram
teachers, coaches and practitioners, how is a self-reading system like the
Enneagram, a
map and a mirror of the psyche, helpful in cultivating self-observation (from
meta-cognition to interoception), and where do we need to find processes to meet its
content and avoid the pitfalls of getting stuck in typology?
This
session
draws on my PhD research in this field, and will involve a presentation as well as
experiential processes to access and experientially explore different inner states.
This intermediate workshop will introduce participants to the phenomena of psychological and spiritual bypassing, how they differ and interact, and how they impact our Enneagram theory and practice. We will review materials from John Welwood, Robert A. Masters and other transpersonal psychologists to understand spiritual bypassing and why it has been such a hot topic of discussion these past 25 yrs. Then we will look at Roberto Assagioli and his psychospiritual system known as Psychosynthesis in order to better understand what has become known in some circles as psychological bypassing, which is a "tendency to get overly fascinated with and absorbed in our own personal process. It can be so fascinating to delve into our emotions, archetypes, dreams or relationships... To treat this kind of self-examining as the ultimate journey is to risk becoming narcissistic, a kind of'emotional junkie'..." Special emphasis will be on the famous Egg Diagram of the human psyche by Assagioli, as well as his descriptions of the Higher and Lower Unconscious, and how we may, for various reasons, dynamically repress the Higher Unconscious to our detriment. We will discuss the possibility that we may have an "enlightenment drive" (Almaas and Maitri) and "metaphysical instincts" (Shirazi).
In this lecture i will show the results of my research in the writing of my patients about what really causes people to change their behaviors. From Graphology, the Enneagram and conscious breathing, let us know what the traits of the enlargement of consciousness and with place in our brain are they from. What will be able to make people change? What this talk and find out your point of change.
Through a card deck with a graphic universe loaded with symbolism and in which we
have
captured years of study and work with the Enneagram, we want to provide a practical
tool, that allows women that are just starting to walk their path of personal
development and those professionals that work with women and want to incorporate
this
information on their profesional practices, to explore and develop the nine
dimensions
or goddesses that live within each woman, so they can access new ways of seeing the
world, enhance their skills and integrate their gifts to live a more fulfilling
life.
Within this symbolic universe, each goddess belongs to an element
or
energy center (fire = instinct, water = emotions, air = mind), has an animal that
represents the goddess strategy, a flower that representes what that goddess has to
offer to those around her in terms of her gifts and virtues, an object that
represent
the holy ideas, and a crystal that allow the woman to connect with the essence of
the
goddess.
Your Vitality Personality is the highest expression of your EnneaType. It is the
antidote
to your unconscious "Ego-Driven" compulsion toward self-sabotage. It frees you to
choose
"Consciousness-Directed" behaviors that generate vitality - the joyful state of
physical, mental and spiritual well being. Your ego is your survival mechanism,
driving
behavior that creates conflict and destruction. This is your default wiring -- when
you
are unaware of yourself, your ego automates your thoughts, feelings, and
actions.
Your Higher Consciousness is the real you—a powerful,
eternal
energetic being. In regularly connecting with this aspect of yourself, you become
your
best self, which heals, restores, and uplifts you. The journey moving out of
Ego-Driven
and into Consciousness-Directed behavior is the process of awakening. It is not
necessarily easy or fast. And yet, coming awake to yourself is the only way out of a
painful existence, and is the most empowering, exciting work you will ever
do.
Learn more about your EnneaType's inherent Ego-Driven Survival
Belief,
Compulsion, and Survival Behavior, which combine to create your specific Sabotage
Pattern...and how to free yourself from these through embracing your
Consciousness-Directed Vital Truth, Liberation, and Vitality Behavior, creating a
new
life of vitality that serves your Highest Purpose.
Parents are ready to move away from authoritarian and permissive models of parenting towards relationship-based models that focus on healthy attachment and connection. Great parents know that a culture of connection in the home is built on a foundation of Presence. The Enneagram reveals what blocks our capacity to be present to our children and how our parenting "blind spots" prohibit the very connection we seek. The Enneagram also helps us to answer the question, "Who is showing up to parent — YOU — or your personality pattern?" As we learn to be more Present, we come into contact with our own inner adult or "Essence Parent", the part of us that has the capacity to hold not only our own big reactions with compassion, but our children's big feelings as well. This compassionate holding and awareness starts to soften our personality's contractions and allows us to grow into the leaders we most want to be as parents. Real life examples will be given of parents who have used the Enneagram to create deeper connections with their children, to heal their own lost childhood messages, and to transform difficult parenting moments into opportunities for spiritual and psychological growth.
The Enneagram is ultimately a map of non-fixated, awakened consciousness and human
wholeness. It is universally applicable to every dimension of life - beyond belief
systems, cultures, or modalities. In this pivotal time in our world, how can we
accelerate the integration of the authentic depth of the Enneagram to every aspect
of
life.
Where are we? Where are we going? And what’s needed to
uplevel
the full transformational potential of the Enneagram personally and
collectively?
As the Founder and Host of the Enneagram Global Summits,
with
a dedicated vision to supporting cooperation, collaboration, and creativity in the
field, Jessica is in a unique position to talk about the potential, the shadows, the
trends, and the calls of the Enneagram field today. We will gather to hear about
these,
and learn what we can do in our practice and life to contribute to the
Enneagram’s
transformational impact for humanity. There will be learning, sharing, experiential
exercises and dialogue. We will expand our knowledge, vision, and orientations to
empower and embody our capacity to transmit the Love, wisdom, presence and
creativity
that the Enneagram can contribute to the challenges and promises of life and our
world
today.
Enneagram and Somatic movement is an integrated approach to learning and
transformative
experience. The original Enneagram teaching pointed out that the ego-type is rooted
in
our anatomy. The field of somatic concern the human ability to experience the body
from
within and becoming aware of ourselves. The main principle is that body, emotion and
thought are an inseparable continuum, thus the mind is expressed through the body
and
the body through the mind.
Through specifics somatic practices of
embodiment
and application of anatomical, physiological and developmental principles we may
observe
and transform our mental, emotional and instinctual patterns. We may nail down the
process of perception by which information are filtered, distorted, generalised,
interpreted and acted upon. We discover how before being ordered into words,
thoughts
and emotions are often felt as pictures and movements. Movement is not just a form
of
expression, it is also as another sense to perceive the self and the environment. It
can
also be a pathway to facilitate changes in the relationship between body and mind.
Movement patterning influences how we process information, express ourselves and
function. Integrated ways of moving, feeling and thinking support the manifestation
of
higher level of consciousness.
The concept of "self" hovers over our work with the Enneagram—people talk about finding themselves, finding their "true" or "authentic" self and how it is different from their "false" self, etc. But what do we really mean when we talk about the "self"? While this might seem like an abstract and philosophical question, the way we define such terms matters because our definitions and the way we approach these terms shapes our approach to the work we do to grow. This interactive session is part dialogue, part group exploration, and part instruction. The dialogue is between two people from dramatically different backgrounds and worldviews—one with a Western philosophical and scientific point of view, the other steeped in traditional Indian wisdom. They will share how their first exchange of ideas at a conference in Paris led to an ongoing conversation that uncovered unexpected commonalities of perspective. They will explain how the way some people talk about "true" and "false" selves is inconsistent with many spiritual traditions and modern science and can actually impede our work on ourselves. Finally, they will show how rejecting this dualism and adopting an approach of embracing our complex and conflicted nature can be the foundation for growth.
We are not truly free to thrive until everyone is free to thrive- until we all feel
safety and support to be, express, and love who and what we love. We know this, yet
billions of people on our planet are not as free as those identified with a dominant
culture.
This will be an honest unplugged conversation in which grief,
rage, love and potential are welcome - first between the panelists, and then with
the
Conference community. The Enneagram can guide individuals to liberate oppressed and
locked parts of themselves to live an authentic and fully expressed life. It is one
of
the most powerful tools on the planet for creating equitable community, where all
are
valued. Social Equity Leaders are now using the Enneagram in powerful and
(r)evolutionary ways to address the “othering” that happens through “isms” such as
racism, sexism, colonialism, ageism, and gender expression, sexual orientation,
political identity and more.
The Enneagram community must also examine
its
own biases, shadows, and misconceptions so we can contribute to ending oppression of
all
kinds and creating a world of interdependent honoring, caring and support of
ALL.
In this session the panelists will each explore these topics from
the
lens of their own experience of race, gender, sexual orientation and culture. Then
we
will open a dialogue with the conference community.
• Building conscious
and
liberated community by supporting the evolution of consciousness with the
Enneagram
• Decolonizing the self and relationships: liberating
internalized
oppression
• Building resilience from the scars of oppression and
violence -
riding the waves of awareness about racial injustice in 2020 and 2021
Have you ever thought, "Why do I do what I do?" When it comes to decision making -
are
you ruled by your heart, your head or your gut? All three play a factor yet one will
dominate your personality. Little has been presented on the Enneagram to show the
system
in a more accessible form using easy English and info graphics.
The WID
Factor - Why I Do What I Do - has taken the complex theories of the Enneagram, added
insights of modern science, then translated them into an easy-to understand
methodology
which introduces a three-step practice that forms the basis of The Integration
Movement.
This practice helps you to understand your own Path of Purpose.
The
session
will also explore how peoples different core potencies connect and the value this
adds
to achieving both personal and organisational goals.
Building on
psychological studies that reveal three different styles of connecting, we align
these
styles with the WID core potencies to explore the WID Connectivity Styles.
Individuals
that understand their motivations, become teams that understand each other, and in
turn
create outcomes with each other. WID enables people who think differently, act
together,
to achieve common outcomes.
At an unprecedented time of global unrest this session is designed to demonstrate the power of the Enneagram in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Anti-racism work. Diversity encompasses all the ways that we are similar and all the ways that we are different. A panel of students from the IEA Accredited 2020-21 Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Anti-Racism Training Certification for Enneagram Practitioners will share their transformative experiences through the powerful inner work & the experiential learning modules. This Cohort has representatives from every Enneagram point and represents both BIPOC & Non-BIPOC perspectives. There is representation from Enneagram practitioners ranging from counselors, teachers, therapists and influencers. The panel will discuss the challenges they faced while addressing their own implicit biases, individual racial trauma, & the inner work of unraveling their racial identity through the wisdom of the Enneagram. These Enneagram Practitioners explore the tangible solutions & results of their experience in their own fields of work across psychotherapy, relationship counseling & spiritual guidance. This enlightening session is designed to help the Enneagram community to understand how the Enneagram can be used as a powerful healing mechanism for reconnecting humanity and healing the cracks and division of our human mosaic.
Sharing from Cindy Leong's 5-year research on 1to1 coaching sessions with 1000 singles, let's dive deep to understand why are some eligible individuals finding it hard to fall in love here in Asia. Also the "Resident Love Expert" on Mediacorp FM Class 95 (the number 1 radio station in Singapore), join us to also receive practical tips on how to keep your relationships strong, especially in challenging times like this.
“Your destiny is not to find love; it is to become the most loving person you
can
be.”
Loveability, Robert Holden “Let us widen our circle of love
so as
to include everyone (including ourselves).”
Robert Holden
“Let us join together as one family to create a climate change of fear to
love.”
Robert Holden
In our opening keynote, Robert Holden
explores how we can work with the Enneagram to love ourselves, each other, and our
world. We will look through nine lenses of the Enneagram to deepen our understanding
of
love and widen our circle of love. Robert will share nine meditations on how love
can
help us find our wholeness, bless our relationships, cultivate an international
heart,
fuel our activism, and live our purpose.
This session will introduce the history of the Enneagram and the basic Personality Enneagram teachings. Where did the teachings come from and how did they emerge or arrive in their present form? What does it mean to be a “three-centered being”? What are the functions of the Head, Heart, and Body/Gut? How do the 9 personality styles emerge from and relate to the Three Centers?
This session will go deeper into the Body Center and the three body-based personality styles at points 8, 9, 1. What are the characteristics and functions of our Moving Center? What are some of the distinguishing features of the 8, 9, 1 personality types?
This session will go deeper into the Heart Center and the three heart-based personality styles at points 234. What are the characteristics and functions of our Feeling Center? What are some of the distinguishing features of the 2, 3, 4 personality types?
This session will go deeper into the Head Center and the three head-based personality styles at points 5, 6, 7. What are the characteristics and functions of our Thinking Center? What are some of the distinguishing features of the 5, 6, 7 personality types?
This session will overview how the Enneagram is a dynamic symbol. How does energy move around the symbol and within its connecting lines? How are core personality styles influenced by -- or constituted by -- their relationship to “wing” and “connecting” points? How can the Enneagram provide a map to help us further integrate our personality styles and offer our gifts to the world?
This session will overview the three instincts and how the instincts interact with the core types to create subtypes. What are the characteristics and functions of the instincts? What are some of the features of the subtypes? What are some of the variations across teachers and schools in the naming and understanding of these concepts? How can instincts and subtypes enhance one’s experience and work with the Enneagram?
This panel will feature some of our presenters and mentors on the Discovery Track. We will explore their experience of the Discovery Track and how the Enneagram teachings are best transmitted through time and across generations. What is the role and perhaps responsibility of organizations like the IEA in raising Enneagram awareness across the globe for the next generation of enthusiasts, practitioners, teachers, and coaches? What is the role of social media? We will explore the tension between quantity and quality of Enneagram teachings as they are transmitted to the next generation.
Moderator
During the endnote session of this virtual gathering, we take the opportunity to
honor
the legacy of Helen Palmer, the recently retired co-founder of the Narrative
Enneagram
school with Dr. David Daniels, IEA co-founder and bestselling author. For over 45
years,
Palmer’s goal — to integrate sound psychology with spiritual method
using
the Enneagram map — has remained constant.
What started out as a
group
of forty individuals in Palmer’s living room in the early 70s, over time,
expanded
to thousands of people who have recognized their types by seeing and hearing
panelists
talk about their lives. When we share our personal experiences and sacred narratives
in
a field of compassionate presence, our souls grow and we can more easily experience
the
shared humanity in each of us. As we listen to the stories and notice the
non-verbals of
speakers on a type panel, the Enneagram becomes three-dimensional – our minds
gain
insight and understanding, our hearts are touched, and our bodies experience the
energies of the types.
Host Ginger Lapid-Bogda and presenters Peter
O’Hanrahan and Terry Saracino connect our roots to our future leading insightful
conversations about the development and future of the IEA and the Narrative method. With
stories and wisdom from Palmer herself, special guests, a medley of foundational
teachings and more, we hope you'll join us!
