The future of leadership development will not be about building "horizontal capability" that is, the skills, abilities and behaviours needed to lead others. Rather, on how to learn, grow and change in the way in which they relate to, lead and engage others: their "vertical development." (Centre for Creative Leadership, 2012). Gayle Hardie and Malcolm Lazenby (Co-Founders of Global [...]

Human emotions add spice to life, nuance communication and enliven daily routine. Our feelings are a sixth sense. Evolving as essential survival tools, emotions are often problematic in contemporary life. The secret is learning how to use emotional energy to bring out your best self and become an effective leader. IQ takes second place to feeling savvy in measuring [...]

This interactive session will introduce the "Integrative Approach" through the application of the Enneagram to make sense of individual, team and organizational dynamics. By scaling our understanding of the system from microto macro-levels, the Enneagram's relevance as a sense-making framework is expanded to encompass more than the intrapersonal domain. At each level of exploration, the session will present issue-centric [...]

The goals of spiritual psychotherapy are to identify with one's Higher Self rather than the ego, to accept 100% responsibility for yourself and your life and to practice non attachment. The Enneagram, a powerful and dynamic personality system offers clear suggestions that help us understand our emotional and thought patterns, our ego, that keep us from experiencing God and [...]

Sex and love--two topics that are rarely discussed yet rule lives when kept in the shadows. Join Dr. Deborah Ooten and Beth O'Hara in an exciting, transformative and multidimensional exploration of sex and love. Explore different conceptualizations of sex and love for the 9 types at the different levels of consciousness (Spiral Dynamics) that lead to greater conflict and [...]

Good communicators will often unconsciously match the verbal and nonverbal behavior of others, a practice called Pacing. Pacing was first observed in the behavior of effective therapists who use it to establish a quick working rapport with their clients. A skilled therapist will often mirror a new client in subtle ways; as the client talks, the therapist may adjust [...]

This session will provide a quick, efficient download of integral theory, the school of philosophy that seeks to integrate all of human wisdom into a radically inclusive worldview. Integral theory accommodates the gifts of all previous worldviews, including those which have been historically at odds: science and religion, East and West, as well as pre-history, traditionalism and modernity. Jeff [...]

Personal and professional growth and development need not be complicated. While the Enneagram is a map of the psyche with many facets, it is possible to present the Enneagram in a way that is easy to learn, memorable, and simple without losing its power and efficacy. Based on over 15 years of work with corporate executives and other leaders [...]

The experience of stepping into someone else's shoes is often the closest we get to finding out what it's like to be them. EnneaMotion is an experiential approach to learning the Enneagram. By experiencing the energy of the different types, we gain insight and increased compassion. And it's more than that. We actually can change the brain by creating [...]

Part of each human being's path and struggle is the need to overcome obstacles so we can move our work and life forward with deliberate action. If we are growing and expanding, it's likely that where we place attention, and the actions we're taking, are increasingly aligned with our virtues, and that which is more essential. What practices, systems [...]

We are at a critical shift point in human history. We hang in the balance, socially, economically, environmentally, spiritually, because we have disconnected from our personal and collective intelligence and guidance. We are currently on a path towards economic, social, and planetary unsustainability, violence, and inhospitability. A great imperative is upon us to act in a more collectively intelligent [...]

This presentation will explore the impact of instinctual energy, separate from type, on relationships. The three major instincts (selfpreservation, social, and sexual) and the subtypes which are formed by them have a powerful impact on our style of relating because they reflect our fundamental values. Since each instinct has very different interests, energy levels and needs, conflicts in relationships [...]

What would it mean to you if you were to realize that two different personality systems were independently developed in different languages, different times, in different cultures, and that these systems came to very similar archetypal insights? How might this act as a confirmation for both typologies, independently developed? Professor Friedemann Schulz von Thun (University Hamburg), the most important [...]

Opening to whom we truly are can require working through, not separating from, contractions from our true nature described by the Enneagram. Whether contractions arise in ongoing shadow and reactivity, trauma, disintegration or movement to integration, it is essential to have practices for transmuting them to energy for transformation to Presence and our highest qualities. ADIEWA is a profound [...]

A Conversation by Young People about the Meaning of Death will be a panel of young people, all under the age of 35, using "The Enneagram of Death" as a jumping off place to discuss their feelings, thoughts, and attitudes about death and dying. I'll ask them questions about their defenses, how they experience their grief and fear, and [...]

Each type has its own particular energy. Easy to say, not always so easy to feel! And yet, experimenting with the specific flavour of one's energy is a tremendous awakening experience that brings about great insight! As Gurdjieff used to say "The Enneagram, to be understood, must be thought as being in movement". And we know how important the [...]

Through this panel of ex-cons, you will hear former inmates' accounts of personal transformation thanks to the Enneagram.

With compelling self-disclosure, three men who have done hard time for drugs, robbery, [...]

While knowledge of the types has tended to be the central focus of the modern Enneagram, sincere students also learn that the Enneagram symbol has an incredibly rich and profound background. This session will focus on some of the broader and deeper frameworks of the Enneagram found in a number of ancient sources which all point to our consciousness [...]

The enneagram and Ken Wilber's Integral Operating System both offer powerful tools for transformational change. As part of the research for my new book, The Integral Enneagram, I noticed that most people tend to work with one system or the other, not both. Those who do work with both systems tend to focus more on one than the other. [...]

The Enneagram community will be shaped in the future by its members who are young adults today. This panel discussion brings together young leaders with new perspectives on Enneagram community building and scholarship. The discussion will focus on two areas: 1) Motivation-- what young adults are looking for when they discover and learn about the Enneagram, including answers to [...]

Adolescent girls are a special population in and of themselves, but when working with girls who are in foster care due to a history of abuse or neglect, there are even more issues that come to the surface. I have found that teaching the Enneagram to teenagers is especially effective when one can use clips from movies or television [...]

Participants in this session will gain a clear understanding of the strategic planning process by navigating through the Enneagram model and learn how the strengths of [...]

Much is written about evolution, but the heart of the matter lies in the inner experience of people whose lives are broken open by change. In these times, we are literally and metaphorically annihilating one another over changing views of God. In this session, Leslie takes us from an outside view of the Integral map into the lived experience [...]

Before describing the Pre-Conference Day session I'd like to share what I learned at Ken Wilber's 2013 Conference. The initial impression was seeing over 400 international participants get themselves up a very cold mountain in mid-winter. The second was hearing how committed they are to the Integral map of consciousness. The third realization was that my Enneagram keynote was [...]

How is the Enneagram an integral gift in the hope of eliminating violence in society? What does the Enneagram teach us about the greatest force that every person is challenged to create internally to ensure that peace and harmony will overcome violence in our lives? Why is understanding the difference between intellect and intelligence key to both personal and [...]

Ideally suited to fans of rock, pop, and emo, this musical odyssey through Ichazo's nine Passions invites you to make friends with your favorite "sin"-- instead of acting out or resisting it. During a brief audio/visual presentation, you will learn about the Passions through the core issues of each Center. Each Passion is "fleshed-out" with music, graphics, and text [...]

Herb will share ideas that [...]

Just as Homer's Odyssey tells a parallel story of homecoming that is found within Enneagram teachings, Dante's epic poem, The Divine Comedy, offers a great deal of insight into the path of personal growth encoded in the Enneagram symbol. Both in the larger vision of waking up out of the "dark wood" of unconsciousness to work toward higher consciousness [...]

Like it or not, 2011 ushered in the advent of "senior citizenship" for the first wave of "Baby Boomers" (born 1946-1964). Thus it seems appropriate to offer a workshop that provides an extensive overview of the emerging field of Transpersonal Gerontology--a recent and powerful integration of transpersonal psychology and social gerontology (the study of aging). Harry Moody has said [...]

In this session, you will have the opportunity to explore all aspects of your health (including physical, emotional, mental and spiritual) using two aspects of Ken Wilber's Integral Model, Levels and Type.
