THE ENNEAGRAM goes
beyond type–
it’s A GROWTH MAP.
JOIN the experiential enneagram
June 4-8, 2024 (TUESDAY- SATURDAY) | 9 AM TO 6 PM EACH DAY | California
This retreat offers an in-depth intensive experience of the three core instincts, the six instinctual sequences (the six possible ways in which the instincts can be “ordered”), and the twenty-seven subtype personalities. Through both group and individual work, video clips, and the latest teachings on the instincts and subtypes, we will learn about this important dimension of the Enneagram model. Within the context of a rich group setting, we will support each other in understanding how our dominant, secondary, and repressed instincts drive our behavior. We will also gain insight into how our instincts combine with our passions and our type patterns to structure our experience.
The exploration of the ways our personalities act out our instinctual biases and emotional and cognitive patterns will culminate in participants identifying specific growth challenges, working with them in-depth in real-time, and developing a plan for continuing inner work beyond the retreat.
This narrative-based retreat will support and encourage you in doing powerful Enneagram-based inner work by providing the information, the experiences, the support, and the path to be able to intentionally rise above the habitual automatic reactivity of your personality.
UNCOVER THE UNCONSCIOUS
Learn to identify how defensive behavior driven by your passion and instinctual drives operate through your personality type and subtype patterns. Learn how to intercept instinct-driven behavior by becoming more conscious of the unconscious.
SEE THE UNIFIED SYSTEM
Learn how your personality’s components operate a unified system— including how your passion combines with your instinctual needs to shape unconscious behavior and the ways in which the instinctual sequences and subtypes manifest.
DEVELOP COMPASSIONATE SUPPORT
Through the process of becoming more aware, learn to compassionately support yourself in doing the work of seeing your animal nature and addressing and breaking free from self-limiting patterns.
GET AN EXPERIENTIAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE ENNEAGRAM AS A MAP FOR GROWTH.
“[The Experiential Enneagram] was the most profound experience I've had with a group, and as an individual. The work I was able to do thanks to the mastery and professionalism of Beatrice and Uranio and team, was beyond my expectations. I truly feel I received a gift to live further. I feel that I wouldn't trust anyone else in the world at this moment with such work.”
