Emotional intelligence (EQ) is having the ability to respond appropriately and effectively, no matter what. Often this means expanding our comfort zone. EnneaMotion, an experiential approach to the Enneagram, guides you in finding mantras and mudras (Sanskrit for a word or sound with the intention to bring on a particular inner state) for accessing the best attributes of all nine styles, of all humanity. This increases our emotional flexibility, our emotional capacity, and our EQ. Somatic Focusing, a unique process that guides people to finding antidotes to recurring disturbing emotions and fast-tracking emotional change, will be used when relevant.

Andrea Isaacs has been an emotional and spiritual guide for 30 years. She created EnneaMotion because of her interest in using a body-based practice for transformation. Since 1994, she’s been traveling the world teaching EnneaMotion workshops, coaching individuals in designing their own physical antidotes, and conducting the EnneaMotion training program. She’s been on the faculty of the Riso-Hudson Part II Training Program since it launched in 1995, was co-founding editor/publisher of the Enneagram Monthly and was a board member of the IEA for six years.
