The Enneagram may be the most profound and practical way to know ourselves and others. This knowledge of personality, orientation, character, and attentional habit forms a cohesive, predictable pattern of who we are and points a light to who we can be.

The Enneagram, on its own, however, does not have inherent strategies, techniques, or procedures to produce change. The process of “Enneagramatic change” has typically been based on the important tool of presence, an awareness and dropping of”type behavior”rather than a usage of psychotherapeutic strategies.

Luckily there are new paradigms of powerful and rapid treatments. Many of these innovative psychotherapeutic strategies, however, have neither a refined theory of personality nor a sense of how discrete behaviors and feelings are organized or connected. This can make it more difficult to make wise decisions about exactly what to”treat”and how to treat it effectively.

These strategies can now be adapted to provide the strength and energy of change to be used with the Enneagram’s direction of change – to provide the locomotion on the Enneagram-tailored path. This workshop will experientially integrate the power of these change strategies with the wisdom of the Enneagram.

We will use – Energy Psychology to clear or reduce Enneagramatic type fears, stressors, beliefs, and unwanted emotions that are blocks or barriers to what we want, and use – Nine different practical strategies to access and mobilize recommended type, triadic, and general desired resources to install new patterns, attitudes, and responses that move us toward, and into, our higher levels of health and more essential true nature.

Participants will learn how to use these powerful yet practical tools on their own, and if therapists/coaches/teachers, with their clients.
