[NO RECORDING] In this experiential movement workshop, we will look at the ancient art, science, and philosophy of yoga, and how it relates to the teachings of the Enneagram. Through gentle and relaxing mind, breath, and movement practices-- pranayama, tratak, and asana--we will become aware of our own subtle physical habits, wake up our mind's vast control of our [...]

[NO RECORDING] Nowhere is the evolution of the Enneagram more evident than in its application to leadership development within organizational and business settings. Consultants and coaches who understand and appreciate the value of the Enneagram in business are on the cutting edge of new territory. But, it's lonely out there and those of us doing the work would benefit [...]

[NO RECORDING] There is a powerful awakening that occurs when a person first hears and understands that their whole life has been orchestrated by a fixated pattern of behavior. Often this understanding is accompanied by the awareness that there are many others with the same pattern and these others have had very similar issues to their own. This is [...]

[NO RECORDING] This presentation will compare the Enneagram as pre-birth temperament styles with the theory of post-birth character structures and armoring from body psychotherapy. Wilhelm Reich, Alexander Lowen and others have developed a general theory of psychological stress from early childhood which is harbored in the body through body armoring and character structures or ego defenses. The presenter sees [...]

[NO RECORDING] This work was first presented by Delbar as a research project in one of the schools that trains eduators in Iran. School is the second home of each child and the support given to them brings motivation to learn and to enjoy. The relative functionality of a school depends on how cooperative teachers, parents and students are [...]

[NO RECORDING] The word "satsang" comes from the Sanskrit for "sat," which means "highest truth" and "sanga," which means "company / community." Thus, at its simplest, a satsang is a gathering of people who are Seekers of Truth working with the guidance of a teacher who has had a direct experience of True Nature. Through most of history, satsangs [...]

[NO RECORDING] This presentation will contribute to a greater understanding of the role played by Enneagram types and centers in conflict and conflict conversations. Conflict conversations follow a pattern. There are prevailing patterns of conversation that lead to effective and satisfactory resolution. Heart types like to keep things in the past. Body types will explore the present and Head [...]

[NO RECORDING] There is a quarter of a second between the time your brain has an impulse to do something, and the moment you do it. That means you have a "magic quarter second" during which you could stop yourself from an emotional response you may later regret. But awareness alone often is not enough to change a habit [...]

[NO RECORDING] Jane Austen's vision of the power of personal relationships to shape our lives is eloquently expressed in her great novel, Sense and Sensibility. As Austen describes the quest of two sisters for appropriate husbands, we witness their struggles with the constraints of their 19th century society and the blind spots natural to their Enneagram styles. In the [...]

[NO RECORDING] Participants will work from both a case study and from direct experience. This is an interactive workshop going between individual learning and integration, practice, small group exploration, and large group learning harvests. First, all participate in a "warm up" in which they'll identify the people at their table, map out visible and imagined dynamics, and share them. [...]

[NO RECORDING] Herb will demonstrate live how he works with couples and ways that any type combination can work together to have more fun, respect, compassion, and more satisfying communication. Even couples' conflicts can be used for personal development and relationship intimacy. He will also emphasize how to develop type differences in yourself and suggest options to use type [...]

[NO RECORDING] Far more compelling and consequential than the nine types, the Enneagram is a system which describes and prescribes personal and organizational change. The Enneagram is most profoundly a paradigm buster: it suggests counterintuitive paths of inquiry, paradoxical interventions and serendipitous outcomes. Here we will explore the applications of the Enneagram to a more deeply felt and skillful [...]

[NO RECORDING] This workshop will help people begin to think about how their Enneagram type and instinctual stack come together to impact their relationship to money, their financial attitudes, decisions, and behaviors. Specifically, we will explore how type and instinct come together to affect one's sense of abundance vs. scarcity, money values, attention to money, planning, goal setting, spending, [...]

[NO RECORDING] Our personal instinctual focus has a major impact on our daily choices; in the way we act, think, feel and ultimately express ourselves. It is also clearly demonstrated in our body language. And that in itself has a direct effect on the ways people see and relate to us. It is a well-known fact that 70-90% of [...]

[NO RECORDING] Last August when I came back to Brazil after having participated as a speaker at the International Enneagram Association Conference in Redwood City, California, with the topic of "Global Unity Enneagram; a Proposal for Applying Enneagram in Programs of Education, Social Responsibility and Sustainability," I realized that it is really urgent to mobilize our community on these [...]

[NO RECORDING] In antiquity Geometry and Arithmetic constituted two of the four major intellectual disciplines that comprised a classical education (The other two disciplines were Astronomy and Music/Harmony). They were considered by philosophers to be a bridge between the visible and invisible worlds and the study of mathematics a way of turning the mind from the physical world, which [...]

[NO RECORDING] Shamans are the religious specialists among indigenous societies who sustain themselves with hunting or horticulture. While their methods vary, they have in common an understanding that travel beyond the world of ordinary consciousness is both possible and beneficial. Anthropologist Felicitas Goodman discovered that the artwork of native people includes sacred poses that, when used in conjunction with [...]

[NO RECORDING] All of the spiritual traditions of the world incorporate meditation and contemplation as part of their spiritual practice. They do so in the belief that the journey of personal development cannot be undertaken in the absence of such a practice. This workshop will look at the purpose, role, and practical effects of a daily meditation practice as [...]

[NO RECORDING] See how the Enneagram can "fuel" a proven trust development model. Too often relationships between individuals and teams are damaged based on lack of trust. There are three critical components to trust, and different styles stack those elements differently. So often the trust break is more lack of definition and misunderstanding. There are also five trust building [...]

[NO RECORDING] Alexandra Vance and Katy Taylor will share their own collage explorations of the underlying spiritual impulses of the Enneagram, and invite participants to explore the Enneagram through collage. Many people can get caught up thinking about the Enneagram--analyzing, memorizing, and studying it--but engaging only the intellectual mind. We find collage work to be a powerful tool that [...]

[NO RECORDING] By combining the Riso-Hudson Enneagram's ability to illuminate the deeper patterns of human nature with Integral Coaching's methodology for fostering human development, coaches can provide pragmatic and holistic coaching programs that almost always accelerate the process of growth for the client, as well as assuring the coach that they are on a productive track. In this session, [...]

[NO RECORDING] Our presentation will be a practical introduction and a real experience of what the Arica School -- our common school of knowledge -- has to offer. It is the roots of wisdom of the ancients and a new scientific approach based on trialectical logic that matches the needs of our present time on our way to enlightenment [...]

[NO RECORDING] Conflict management theory: an introduction Why dealing with conflict is so hard when it involves those close to us Sources of conflict and implications for how to manage it The Conflict Cycle: the interplay between thoughts/beliefs, emotions, and behaviors The Conflict Dynamic Profile - behaviors that contribute to constructive conflict management and behaviors that make constructive conflict [...]

[NO RECORDING] Schema therapy is an integrative extension of cognitive therapy fusing elements of cognitivebehavioral, psychodynamic, and gestalt approaches. (So, okay, it's also in your heart and body as well as in your head.) Schemas are patterns we impose on reality to help us explain our experience, to mediate our perception, and to guide our responses. In other words [...]

[NO RECORDING] Dianne Collins is the creator of QuantumThink(R), a groundbreaking new system of thinking that blends the genius of modern science with ancient spiritual knowledge into practical wisdom. Collins is a visionary thinker, writer, and producer who is passionate about showing people new ways of seeing that can greatly enhance their lives. As a business consultant who has [...]

[NO RECORDING] Conflict affects each and every one of us and is often more painful and more prevalent with those that are close to us. The Enneagram is a powerful tool to help us work through conflict in a constructive and compassionate way. During this session, we will touch upon conflict management theory to set the stage for the [...]

[NO RECORDING] We have presented our original work at both the IEA (2007) and the NCIEA. As the first Enneagram teachers to apply biological evolution to explain the origins of personality, we have developed an exciting approach to understanding and applying the Enneagram to diverse aspects of experience. Our work has grown out of clinical experience in psychiatric psychotherapy, [...]

[NO RECORDING] Somehow we seekers fell into a trap as we started to pull apart spiritual transformation. The trap is that we talk about it rather than embodying it. The trap is that when we gather, we intellectualize the process rather than opening to divine presence and healing in the now! Are you ready to stop your talking and [...]

[NO RECORDING] This presentation proposes the perspective/theory that at the center of the development of personality types in general, and Enneatypes specifically, is each individual's ultimate awareness of and confrontation with his or her own mortality, and that this occurs at an early age. And that this is a fact of life--an integral part of life. Our consciousness separates [...]

[NO RECORDING] Understanding that the single individual owns a great part of the responsibility for the team's wellbeing, the team-members--and not solely the team leader--can create the most successful team. This presentation will demonstrate team-related use of the Enneagram focusing on the interrelation between the types, the power between role (member/leader) and type, the ability to co-work a team [...]

[NO RECORDING] Derived from Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Meta Programs are unconscious, deep-rooted patterns by which we filter our experience and shape our perceptions. Like Enneagram styles, Meta Programs help us create and sustain our subjective reality and maintain our personal narrative. Meta Programs overlap with and nicely complement the Enneagram, giving the latter additional depth and texture, leading to [...]

[NO RECORDING] The intent of this presentation is to put forth the Holy Ideas as the antidote to the ego-fixations and to elucidate the "oneness" of all that is through non-dual perception of reality. Through spoken word, three crystal singing bowls,Tibetan brass bowl, small bells and mbira ( African thumb piano) a mood and tone is set for participants [...]

[NO RECORDING] Often the strongest, most convincing onscreen performances are given by actors playing characters of their own Enneagram type. (This is called typecasting.) But what happens when an actor is cast to play a person whose inherent drive, motivation and temperament are alien or in conflict with his or her own personality? The results can be intense, intriguing--or [...]

[NO RECORDING] The intent of this lively interactive coaching dialogue is for participants to experience real time quantum leaps in awareness that translate into life enhancing results. In the quantum world "context is everything." How do we view our immediate opportunities and intentions from the broad and awakened perspective blending QuantumThinking, planetary energies, and the wisdom of the Enneagram? [...]

[NO RECORDING] The innate truths of the struggles and triumphs of the human condition can be found within the many myths of both the ancient world of legend and the contemporary world of literature. The commonalities between these myths and the journey of the archetypal mythical hero were analyzed and synthesized by Joseph Campbell in his ground breaking book, [...]

[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 [...]

[NO RECORDING] Every book published with Enneagram in its title begins with a synopsis of the author's understanding of the origins and/or history of this theory of personality. This seminar attempts a more systematic analysis of the evolution of the ideas that constitute the Enneagram theory in the 21st century. As co-author of the first textbook on the Enneagram [...]

[NO RECORDING] People who experience chronic pain frequently feel as though they live in a separate world. What is this world like? And how is this world experienced by the different personalities? How do they cope? And, how do others, inclusive of their healthcare practitioners, respond to this coping? If we can glean some understandings of these worlds and [...]

[NO RECORDING] It is possible to experience an event, situation or relationship from several different perspectives: from your own "first person" perspective, through the eyes of a second person, or from the perspective of an independent observer. Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) calls these Perceptual Positions. The view from your own perspective is called First Position, seeing through another's eyes is [...]

[NO RECORDING] Noticing in rudimentary ways that there is movement throughout the heavens has in turn moved human beings to build ancient structure after ancient structure (i.e. Stonehenge) to track this movement for the sake of understanding seasons and rituals, the confluence of outer and inner rhythms. All of this movement and rhythm continues to emerge over millions of [...]

[NO RECORDING] The power of personal metaphor in change work is presumed; the question raised is how to better elicit the most powerful of these metaphors--those of the client's own creation. Theatre exercises will reveal participants' own improvisational style, exploring this as a subset of, or perhaps in contrast to, Enneagram style. This context will frame a description and [...]

[NO RECORDING] The Enneagram diagram's internal lines and arrows contain important secrets for human development. In any kind of Enneagram work (coaching, therapy, training, consulting, etc.) and for our personal growth, the correct understanding of the dynamics of the arrows has the potential to take human development to new levels and dimensions. Most Enneagram practitioners concentrate on analyzing the [...]
