For newcomers and returners alike, Enneagram Essentials is a twin-track workshop designed to help bring light and movement into your life supported by Enneagram wisdom.
- Newcomer track: Discover The Enneagram . It shows us 9 different ways of being in the world, nine ways we shine, nine ways we limit ourselves from being in good connection with ourselves, with others and with Spirit. With Enneagram map in hand we have an extraordinary resource for navigating life. In personality, in relationship, with soul and spirit, The Enneagram seems simple but touches many layers.
- Returner track : Revisit the Enneagram . This is a practice that continues to help us “stay awake” (in Gurdjieff’s terms), stay conscious and deepen our understanding. We change, the world is changing. As we come afresh to the material – after a few days, weeks, months or years – so new insights arise. We’ll be providing focused support to help you with your individual, on-going inquiry.
