How often do we experience reality as it is, rather than through the stories we tell about it? Our past experiences, habitual interpretations, Enneagram patterns all shape the way we see the world. Let’s practice letting go of our stories and discover what is here when we meet life with fresh eyes.
Description: What’s it like to experience reality as it is, rather than through the stories we tell about it? We carry narratives shaped by our past experiences, our beliefs about ourselves and others, and the familiar patterns of our Enneagram type. These stories influence what we notice, how we interpret what happens, and what we expect (and often receive) from ourselves and the world around us.
When we take these narratives as truth, we can lose touch with what is actually happening. We may react to old hurts, make assumptions about others, and fall back into familiar patterns or reactivity without recognizing that other possibilities exist. Even our understanding of our Enneagram type can become a story that reinforces the very patterns we hope to move beyond.
What happens when we loosen our grip on these narratives and allow ourselves to see with fresh eyes? In this experiential workshop, we’ll consider how our stories shape our experience and practice setting them aside to meet each moment with greater openness and curiosity. Together, we’ll explore what it’s like when we pause our habitual interpretations and encounter ourselves, others, and life as they are, rather than as we expect them to be.
