Workshop Description:
The Enneagram is an ancient and sacred diagram that describes nine distinct and fundamentally different personality or character types ("Ennea" is Greek for nine, and "gram" means point or letter). Study and practice of this profound and powerful system helps one to identify and move beyond non-productive mental, emotional and physical habits, increases compassion for self and others, and effectively integrates psychological and spiritual life.
Relationships are an area of human life in which we can experience much joy--and much frustration. Whether we are talking with family member, co-workers, or friends, we often find ourselves in communication with people who have very different ways of perceiving and languaging reality. This may include different motivations for behavior, different beliefs and values, and other ways of creating value and purpose in their lives. Participants in this workshop will learn how to identify their own Enneagram Type, with its specific benefits and limitations; how to apply this knowledge for psychological growth and spiritual development; and how to use this system to heal and improve personal and professional relationships. There will be teaching presentations, meditations and dyad exercises. And in order to demonstrate how the nine types interact, we will spend some time watching DVD clips from different movies. This workshop is designed both for those new to the Enneagram, and for those with previous experience who wish to apply the information and wisdom gained to relationship issues, challenges and goals. Both singles and couples are welcome!
