[NO RECORDING]

The perspective that will be demonstrated in this workshop has at its centre the belief in personal agency, free-choice, and the responsibilities and accountability inherent in these notions in the shaping of our psychic lives.

Anyone who wishes to lead a truly fulfilling life must assume primary responsibility for their own self-awareness. This means taking an active role in the shaping and crafting of personal awareness. It means cultivating an understanding that it is the individual who is responsible for his or her own psychological and spiritual development and the realization of the highest potential inherent in our humanity.

In this workshop participants will discover through exploring their own narratives, viewed through the lenses of Enneagram themes, the transformative power of their own inner wisdom.
