Your Journey of Growth:

Working with the Dynamism and Levels of the Enneagram

(formerly known as The Levels of Development:    The Vertical Dimension to Personality Type and Guide to Greater Health and Transformation)

A Retreat Experience Sponsored by Mercy Center

with Roxanne Howe-Murphy and Ronna Phifer-Ritchie

through The Enneagram Institute of the San Francisco Bay Area

May 21-23, 2010

Mercy Center, Burlingame, CA

The Levels of Development LOD), one of the most profound contemporary contributions to the Enneagram field and identified by Don Riso and Russ Hudson, explains the vertical dimension to the personality types.

The Levels help us track 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 points us to where we are in our journey of growth, and guides us toward greater health and transformation.

In this retreat, you can expect to:

* Recognize the dynamics of the psychological and spiritual movement in your life that are explained through the Enneagram.
* Awaken to inner personal cues that guide you to higher levels of health.
* Experience a deep grounding in presence, through the teachings, exercises, music, and meditation.
* Work with the Enneagram in advanced ways that facilitate practical applications in your professional and personal life.

The Levels of Development bring extraordinary power to our inner journeys. The Riso-Hudson innovation is the only Enneagram work to be specifically endorsed by Ken Wilbur who has stated that only with this vertical dimension taken into account, does the Enneagram system move toward being a complete psychology.

The Enneagram and Relationships:

The Dynamics of Intimacy and Interpersonal Effectiveness

November 5-7, 2010

A Retreat at beautiful Mercy Center, Burlingame, CA.

A life without relationships…it’s impossible. Relationships are core to our existence, and have an enormous impact on our identity, self-worth, and success in the world. They can be rewarding and intriguing, as well as baffling and sometimes painful. How we interact with others provides a key to our psychological and spiritual development.

The Enneagram offers a profound and immensely practical way to understand and shift your relationships with others.

In this authorized Riso-Hudson workshop:

· Deepen your awareness of how automatic and core thinking and emotional dynamics impact relationships;
· Explore your historical conflict/coping patterns and learn effective methods you can use for more effective communication.
· Discover how the three Instinctual Variants (Subtypes) affect primary motivations and priorities in your relationships.
· Experience the impact of increasing your presence on the health of your relationships.

This authorized Riso-Hudson workshop is recommended for couples, single individuals who are interested in creating conscious relationships, parents, adult children of elderly parents, professionals who work closely with clients and anyone having challenges in their relationships.
