To Register:   THE WISDOM OF THE ENNEAGRAM: THE JOYFUL EXPERIENCE OF AN AWAKENING LIFE 

(A workshop at Mercy Center with Ronna Phifer-Ritchie, Ph.D. and Roxanne Howe-Murphy, Ed.D.)

Beyond the study of personality types, the Enneagram is a powerful tool for supporting the work of awakening to our Essential Nature. Refresh and invigorate your soul during this insight-filled weekend workshop held in a peaceful, fully green solar-powered conference center tucked away in the California Santa Cruz Mountains. This 2-day introduction to the psycho-spiritual approach to the Enneagramwill enable you to “remember” your true self, and become increasingly present to the spiritual reality in your daily life. At the end of this weekend, you will begin to more rapidly recognize and respond to the “wake up calls” in your life and experience higher levels of heath and wholeness. This workshop provides immediate access to basic Enneagram knowledge and practices that will enhance your psychological and spiritual growth process, and offer specific insights about your personality style that will inspire you to show up in high quality ways more often in daily life.

In this workshop, you can expect to:

• Discover each type’s gifts, healing attitudes and specific transformation process
• Learn how to observe and let go of our more troublesome habits and reactions
• Hear ways to work with the specific motivations of each type
• Cultivate more awareness in your everyday life
• Understand how to use the Enneagram for your continued spiritual growth

To Register:  THE THREE INSTINCTS:  USING THE ENNEAGRAM TO CREATE BALANCE IN YOUR LIFE AND HARMONY IN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS
(A workshop at Mercy Center with Ronna Phifer-Ritchie, Ph.D. and Roxanne Howe-Murphy, Ed.D.)

Our instinctual nature, operating 24/7, is extremely powerful in our decision-making processes, lifestyle choices, and orientation to day-to-day reality, yet is often given little emphasis in spiritual work. The Enneagram deals directly with this aspect of the Self through teachings about the Three Instincts–Self-Preservation, Sexual (Attraction), and Social (Adaptation).

Without a clear and viable relationship with this aspect of our souls, it is extremely difficult to maintain an integrated, balanced approach to our path. Join us to discover how your instinctual bias or “stack” in combination with your dominant Enneagram type explains so much of your experience and shows you how you can create more real equilibrium, effectiveness and satisfaction.

In this workshop:

• Learn about the power of the Instincts and see them at work in your life;
• Recognize how your particular instinctual stack, (or how you prioritize your basic human needs) locks in repetitive habits of your personality;
• Explore concrete ways in which to bring greater balance to your instinctual life to help you integrate the deeper experiences of Essence and Being.

To Register:  THE LEVELS OF DEVELOPMENT:  THE VERTICAL DIMENSION TO PERSONALITY TYPE AND GUIDE TO GREATER HEALTH AND TRANSFORMATION

 (A Mercy Center Sponsored Retreat with Ronna Phifer-Ritchie, Ph.D. and Roxanne Howe-Murphy, Ed.D.)

The Levels of Development, one of the most profound contemporary contributions to the Enneagram field and identified by Don Riso and Russ Hudson, provides a vertical dimension to the personality types, making clear the “inner logic” of each type and revealing how the various traits and motivations that comprise each type form an interrelated whole. Using the Levels helps us put our direct experience of life into a meaningful context.

The Levels provide a way of tracking our movement along a continuum toward more freedom, consciousness, expansiveness, and Being in the higher Levels (or toward more reactivity and self-destructiveness in the lower ones). By introducing this “vertical axis” to the types, the Levels explain some of the most important things that we find in human nature-fluidity and change, resistance and conflict, freedom and compulsion-among many human qualities. Working with the Levels not only provides recognition for where we are in our journey of growth, but also guides us toward greater health and transformation

In this workshop, you can expect to:

• Understand the meaning of all nine Levels, and how people “move” from one Level to another, along with other complex movements predicted by the Enneagram.
• See some of the main characteristics of each type along the nine Levels.
• Gain a deep grounding in this information on the Levels, through exercises, music, and meditation.
• Work with the Enneagram in advanced ways that facilitate practical applications in your professional and personal life.
