Relationship Workshop: Intimate and Professional

A life without relationships… it's impossible. Relationships are core to our existence, and have an enormous impact on our identity, health, self-worth, success in the world, and even our survival. 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 workshop, we will address how core thinking and emotional dynamics operate between different Enneagram types, explore effective methods you can use to communicate with people of each type, and learn how the three Instinctual Variants (Subtypes) affect primary motivations in your relationships. You will gain new perspectives on yourself and others, and gain valuable insights to having healthier relationships.

The Levels of Development: the Vertical Dimension to Personality Type, a Guide to Greater Health and Transformation

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.

The Three Instincts (Subtypes) Workshop: Using the Enneagram to Create Balance in your Life and Harmony in your Relationships

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.

NOTES:

CEU's: This course meets the requirements for 15 hours of Continuing Education Credit for MFT's and LCSW's as required by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. $25.00 administration fee.
