Three Essential Forces in a Well-Lived Life
Aug

Three Essential Forces in a Well-Lived Life

  • Time/Date TBD, not as above! See description. (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

What helps us feel grounded and supported? What creates a sense of belonging and connection? What brings passion, vitality, and aliveness to our lives?

The instincts are among the most powerful and least understood dimensions of the Enneagram. In this experiential workshop, we'll explore the three instincts as fundamental forces that are active in every person. The self-preservation instinct supports well-being, sustainability, and our relationship with resources. The social instinct supports connection, belonging, participation, and contribution. The attraction/passion instinct supports energetic attraction, intimacy, intensity, creation, and aliveness.

Together, we will:

  • Explore how these instincts show up in everyday life

  • Learn to recognize them through embodied experience

  • Examine the ways they influence our life

  • Choose new ways to engage with them

Along the way, we'll clarify common misconceptions and develop a richer, more nuanced understanding of what the instincts are and how they operate.

Rather than focusing solely on identifying a dominant instinct or subtype, this workshop invites you to explore your relationship with all three instincts and consider how to engage with each for a more balanced, meaningful, and fully-lived life.

Whether you're new to the Enneagram or have studied it for years, you'll gain practical insight into the instincts and discover ways to work with them more consciously in support of personal growth, spiritual development, and the expression of your soul's unique purpose.

This workshop will be online over Zoom. The time and date of this event is TBD (even though it says otherwise above). If you want to let me know your availability so I can take that into account, let me know by clicking the button below to submit your availability. If you just want an email when the date is announced, send me an email and I’ll make sure you’re in the know!

Intentional Living Circle - Beyond the Ideal Self
May
12

Intentional Living Circle - Beyond the Ideal Self

Each Enneagram type strives to embody a specific image ideal. It shapes how we live, our values and strengths, but also our blind spots. Exploring and questioning this image can open the door to more freedom and self-understanding.

Description: Each Enneagram type carries an ideal image, a sense of the kind of person you want to be. This ideal can be inspiring, shaping your strengths and the ways you contribute to the world. It gives you direction and meaning.

At the same time, this image can become restrictive. When it turns into something you feel you must live up to, it can create pressure, triggers, blind spots, and a sense of falling short. Parts of your experience that do not fit the image may be overlooked or be subject to an inner critic.

In this Intentional Living Circle, we will explore the image ideal of each Enneagram type and how it shows up in your life. You will have space to reflect on what you resonate with and how this image shapes your life and sense of self.

We will also gently challenge these ideals by exploring where they do not fully hold true and what they means for you. By loosening your grip on the image, you open space for more flexibility, honesty, and a fuller experience of who you are.

This Intentional Living Circle event is part of Connecting You with Yourself (CYWY).

How We Relate: Object Relations Triads

The Enneagram’s Object Relations triads show three ways we relate to others to get our needs met. We will look at how each type expresses its pattern and reflect on how they show up in us. (First in a two part series on Object Relations, come to either or both.)

How We Move Through the World: Enneagram Stances

The Enneagram’s Hornevian triads (or stances) show three ways of moving through the world: toward, against, and away. Explore how each type expresses its stance and how awareness of these patterns can bring insight to the ways we connect, assert, and create space in relationships.

Navigating Polarities: Wisdom in the Tension Between Opposites
Nov
5

Navigating Polarities: Wisdom in the Tension Between Opposites

Not every challenge is a problem to be solved. Some are polarities to be managed. We’ll explore how seemingly opposing forces (like structure and flexibility, independence and connection, action and rest) can form a dynamic system rather than a conflict with a “right” side. Instead of choosing one and eliminating the other, we’ll explore how to move wisely between both poles to access the strengths of each.

Emotions as Messengers
Sep
16

Emotions as Messengers

Emotions don't just make you feel good or bad. They can be powerful messengers, bringing guidance and resources to help us navigate our lives more wisely. Yet, in our fast-paced and often emotionally disconnected world, we can be overwhelmed by our emotions or sometimes become numb to them. We may try to control, suppress, or avoid them altogether, missing out on the essential guidance they offer.

In this interactive session, we’ll explore a more intentional way of relating to emotions. Learn to:

  • Listen for the message within the emotion

  • Gain some space to be with emotions mindfully

  • Shift from reacting to emotions to receiving and responding with awareness

Whether you tend to be overtaken by emotions or try to avoid them, this session will offer practical and compassionate ways to reconnect with the inner guidance your emotions may bring.

Neuroscience Behind the Enneagram
Sep
9

Neuroscience Behind the Enneagram

Ever wondered what’s happening in the brain causing enneagram type to show up? Where do enneagram types come from and how do they form? What’s really going on when our attention keeps going back to the same place? Come to this session to find out the inner workings of type structure in the brain and how that information can help you relax type patterns and live a more fulfilling life.

Drawing on the work of David Daniels, Dan Siegel and the PDP Group, we will explore how subcortical pathways and innate temperament shape enneagram type structure, and how we can work with this knowledge to give ourselves more choices in life.

How Personality Supports and Challenges Us
Sep
2

How Personality Supports and Challenges Us

Each of us develops patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that support us in navigating life, but these same patterns sometimes hold us back. In this interactive session, we’ll explore patterns of your personality: how they can help you move through the world in meaningful ways, and how they can sometimes cause problems. Through exploration, you’ll get insight into your personality structure and, through greater awareness, gain more choice in your daily life.

Living Your Core Values

Do you have a clear understanding of what truly matters to you? In your day-to-day life, are you truly living by your values or are you on autopilot, responding to what life is throwing at you or acting out habitual patterns? In this interactive workshop, you’ll reflect on what you care about most and identify your core values. Then, we’ll explore practical ways to bring those values to life. This is an opportunity to connect with what gives your life meaning and to begin aligning your actions more intentionally with who you really are.
