[NO RECORDING] Khristian Paterhan proposes to the international Enneagram community what he calls "Enneagram mapping", allowing each person to discover the traces / main types in each Center - Physical, Emotional and Intellectual - and also work with those traces that seem somewhat secondary or less important in his / her personality. Based on Gurdjieffs philosophy, Khristian proposes that [...]

[NO RECORDING] The presentation looks at nine of the works of Paulo Cuelho, author of "The Alchemist," through the lens of the Enneagram and discovers lessons for each Enneatype. Judith MacBrine is a 28-year veteran of California State Government where she earned a reputation as a master meeting facilitator. Judith began her personal awakening after she and her first [...]

[NO RECORDING] Is the Enneagram just another psychological model, or is there reason to claim that it is scientifically more fundamental than other models? We make a case that the Enneagram is based on a fundamental ordering rather than a multidimensional map. We suggest that the Enneagram model can be regarded as a periodic circle -- a fundamental systematic [...]

[NO RECORDING] The symbolic and archetypal language that is characteristic of each type guides us toward transcending the ego and becoming more conscious of ourselves in everyday experiences. Life is "the Art of Relationship." Human beings are not made of matter but of interactions, an energy web that manifests in a state of sensitive reciprocity. In the same manner, [...]

[NO RECORDING] The use of the Enneagram will be presented as a personality profile by learning to effectively use the interdynamics of all nine types in addition to reading the instincts from the same profile. The personality results will then be shown in usable ways for assessing the culture of business companies as well as hiring and conducting final [...]

[NO RECORDING] To have an energetic fun -filled life we need to identify where our energy is being drained. We all want to achieve balance in life, but each Enneagram type has different roadblocks, particularly in the areas of work, relationships, emotional and physical health, money, personal growth, fun, spirituality and contribution to others. This session will include exercises [...]

[NO RECORDING] Breathing is the first and last thing we do in life. Therefore it supports the connection of consciousness / essence / spirit to the body. This Breathwork session is offered so participants can access non-ordinary states of consciousness to more clearly hear and integrate the presence, intelligence and love that is arising from their bodies, hearts, minds [...]

[NO RECORDING] Learn how the nine different Enneagram styles interact in the work setting by participating in a work-based simulation, then analyzing how the styles relate to each other at their best and when the dynamic is less productive. The session's emphasis will be on making ourselves easier to work with, understanding the dynamics that occur between the Enneagram [...]

[NO RECORDING] The Enneagram describes three types of intelligence: Cognitive Intelligence (IQ), Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and Instinctual Intelligence (CQ). As a result of a general lack of understanding of these three equally valid ways of knowing, basic pedagogical practice has been based on a flawed and incomplete understanding of human intelligence and has resulted in a significant misallocation of [...]

[NO RECORDING] What gets in your way of being happy and at one with your true nature?

Explore how our Enneagram fixations block us from experiencing happiness and the Holy Idea of our type. On a more interesting and [...]

[NO RECORDING] Understanding and accepting cultural differences is essential if you want to work around the world and experience working life in different countries.

[NO RECORDING] Using experiential learning techniques from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, we will explore practices for cultivating and enriching our awareness of the here and now, using each of our three centers of intelligence -- head, heart and body. We will also explore ways to see past our own filters and blind spots by comparing our self- [...]

[NO RECORDING] We absorb our basic structures about reality from our parents and society as belief. We interpret reality through those early childhood beliefs. The more unexamined beliefs or structures we hold about reality, the more we are asleep, acting in an automatic, robotic way, living in the levels of subjectivity of the lower ego. Our psychic energy exists [...]

[NO RECORDING] The appropriate and effective use of power is critical to leadership success in organizations and many other areas of life, but few people handle power well. Many leaders tend to overuse or underuse power, both of which can lead to ineffective leadership. Leadership theorist David McClelland developed a theory of motivation that stated that leaders tend to [...]

[NO RECORDING] Understanding that a single individual owns a great part of the responsibility for a team's wellbeing, team-members - and especially the team leader - can create together a 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, and [...]

[NO RECORDING] Lissa Friedman will talk about freedom beyond fixation. Since we cannot be released from the hold of the fixation by working on the level of the fixation, we must find a way to get beyond it. There is a core belief that lives at the deepest level of our psyche, a belief that is usually missed because [...]

[NO RECORDING] Kerena will talk about Claudio Naranjo, a Gestalt therapist, who brought the Enneagram to the United States.

[NO RECORDING] Andrea Isaacs will talk about Increasing Emotional Intelligence with Mudras and Mantras for the Nine Types. Living a conscious life requires emotional flexibility so we can to respond to life in whatever way best serves the moment.

[NO RECORDING] Tom will work together with an audience member who wants to change an Enneagramrelated problem, using Ericksonian methods customized to their specific Enneagram style. Such demonstrations are usually vivid, entertaining and intense. Most produce a visible before-and-after difference in the client, as they shift from their Enneagram "fixation" to greater freedom and choice. Thomas Condon has taught [...]

[NO RECORDING] This panel of experts will examine different business practices that might be usefully improved through the use of the Enneagram. Business activities such as communication in meetings, decision-making, and executive coaching can all benefit from the integration of knowledge from the Enneagram. Through short presentations and then a moderated group discussion, this panel will address how the [...]

[NO RECORDING] What tickles your funny bone? Laughter is universal, yet the type of comedy that triggers this gut reaction in each of us has clear connections to the things we habitually pay close attention to. At previous IEA Conferences Judith has discussed the relations between various story genres (e.g. fantasy, melodrama, the thriller, the western) and specific Enneagram [...]

[NO RECORDING] This presentation will illustrate two experiences of social work case studies utilizing the Enneagram.

The quantitative research is a survey of the members of the AEC who have undergone a clinical assessment with verification by sitting on the [...]

[NO RECORDING] This year's Pre-conference offers new research on key questions that have never found a satisfying answer: Where does the Diagram come from? Why just nine? Why the peculiar star with a hole at the bottom? Why that specific order of passions around the star? Does the matrix of lines, arrows, triads and wings actually map the structure [...]

[NO RECORDING] The Enneagram comes alive when it is between two people. None of the types exist by themselves. At its core, the Enneagram is a tool to focus and frame contrasting positions, so it is a natural approach for mediators, therapists and consultants immersed in the resolution of conflict. In this session, we'll explore how the Enneagram's built-in [...]

[NO RECORDING] With case studies, practical examples and new approaches, this presentation aims to answer the following questions: How can the Enneagram be used in organizations as a tool that goes beyond the more usual applications? What is "conscious business" in terms of the Enneagram and growth work? How is the dimension of individual transformation included in business transformation [...]

[NO RECORDING] The deeper truths about relationship dynamics and the ways people resolve real problems are most apparent in a couple's upsets, fears, and fights. Coates will present actual cases from her clinical practice and offer workshop participants an opportunity to discuss and debate the best approaches to these typical human dilemmas. The group will explore possible therapeutic solutions [...]

[NO RECORDING] Many of us in the Enneagram community have been studying the Enneagram instinctual subtypes for years. In 2004, Claudio Naranjo presented an updated description of the 27 subtypes. Through lecture, group discussion and exemplars, we will discuss this version of the instinctual subtypes, with the goal of getting a deeper and more thorough understanding each of the [...]

[NO RECORDING] The Meta Model is a powerful language model that has many intersections with the Enneagram. The Model helps you recognize and respond to the language patterns of different Enneagram styles and offers linguistic distinctions that will help you communicate better with each one. If knowing someone's Enneagram style helps you speak his / her language, the Meta [...]

[NO RECORDING] In this workshop, we will explore how each type has characteristic ways of perceiving stress as either crisis or opportunity. We will examine the core essential qualities of the types as resources for optimally flowing with the challenges our lives present, thus transforming them into opportunities for growth and real development. This highly experiential workshop will journey [...]

[NO RECORDING] Transformational Coaching with the Enneagram helps clients change behavior and reach goals, but it doesn't stop there.
