Most profoundly, the Enneagram is a map of wholeness. It describes not just nine types, but nine gradations within each type to provide a multidimensional matrix for consciousness. The Levels of Development (as a measure of identification and consciousness for each type) reveal how each of the nine facets of the psyche operates in us. The presentation emphasizes the Enneagram as a way of growth by moving beyond simply categorizing people to providing a more direct experience of the qualities of Living Presence that moves in all of us. The session will focus on various supports for “waking up” from our typical entrancement.
