THE
ENNEAGRAM
There are
nine styles of trance
Nine ways in which we lose contact with Essence
Nine paths along which we Awaken

The Enneagram exists at the intersection of secular and spiritual psychology. It has been used for centuries as a tool for self understanding and today is being used extensively in Hollywood, corporate America, and in counseling.
Each human is born with a unique gift to offer, but as we react defensively to the pain of human experience, this gift becomes obscured. The defensive styles we adopt are a reflection of the gift, but are actually a protective mask, a false self. Another way to say it is we are all living in trance. The trance resides in an inner habit of what our attention is drawn to, and what story we tell ourselves about our experience.
The Enneagram is an exquisite tool for self understanding and working with self and others. The Enneagram describes in detail 9 portraits of how we fall away from Essence and how each type wakes up from the dream. For each of us, one of these types predominates. Our perception, thinking and feeling will be influenced by the “filters” of this style. Enneagram styles are like nationalities - we are all unique but belong to a larger group.
Our purpose in studying the Enneagram is to bring conscious awareness to unconscious structures in order to free enough energy to take a leap to the next level of Self Awareness. When we identify our core style, puzzling aspects of behavior make sense. We recognize more clearly why we think and act the way we do. We begin to see reality without the distortion of our inner movie. Deeper levels of reality that are not part of our style’s drama can reveal themselves, bringing us more in touch with what lies beyond and is more fundamental than the filter of ego.
This multi-media class will give you a thorough understanding of each of the types and how to use it with yourself and others.
