What is the origin of your Personality type? Did it have a purpose in the history of human evolution? Have we discovered the biological mechanisms that might explain our differences? To what extent are we "nature" or "nurture"? What are the implications of these issues to our own possibility to change and develop as human beings?
This presentation will invite you to explore the connections between the Enneagram and some of the most recent discoveries in the fields of Neuroscience, Behavioural Genetics and Evolutionary Psychology. You will be introduced to some of the most likely biological foundations of our personality types, and how they might have emerged in our evolutionary history, through an interaction between the genetic heritage of our species and the changing demands of our environment.
You will explore your type as an "adaptive strategy" from an evolutionary perspective and what this means in terms of your own coping strategies today. You will discover the possibilities that "neuroplasticity" brings to your own evolution as an individual. You will participate in a discussion about the implications of these findings for ourselves and our self-development. And above all, you will be surprised by a totally new perspective on the Enneagram model.
