Ready to take a deeper dive into the transformational, life-giving power of a contemplative, compassion-based approach to the Enneagram?

Man was composed of two natures, the animal or lower self and the spiritual or higher self, and this is because the former is necessary to the development of the latter.
–The Zohar

About

Our instinctual drivers are often seen as primitive and as driving our basic survival needs. However, we will explore our instincts as foundations for our thriving–our shared flourishing–our ability to embody our divine potential. By learning what instinctual priorities we default to, we can begin to free ourselves from their sense of urgency and make freer, more conscious choices that support our desire for spiritual connection and communion with Ultimate Reality. 

• Learn about our instinctual drives–their aims and energies–and the instinctual needs they are trying to get met. Discover the alchemy that occurs between our instinctual drives and the passions and mental fixations of our Enneagram personality types.
• Gain an overview of some of the main yet differing views in circulation today on the role of the instincts in Enneagram inner development.
• Explore how instinctual priorities (sometimes called our instinctual stack, sequence, or patterns-of-expression) can impact our relationship to our spirituality, including our relationship to the Divine, and how we relate to spiritual community, companionship, and our contemplative and other spiritual practices.
