The Way of the Arrows
Using the Inner Dynamism of the Enneagram Symbol as a Path for Growth
A two-day course in Stockholm, Sweden
Learn about
enneagram mat work
Today, Enneagram teachers everywhere are using the Enneagram mat. But Uranio Paes started the trend many years earlier. Learn about the somatic and energetic work that he does, using the Enneagram mat as a powerful tool in this in-depth interview.
This is a call for your inner revolution.
A question that usually arises after people identify their Enneagram type is “Now what?” Once you know your type, what do you do next to create positive change? The first step towards self-development is to observe the ways your personality plays a role in all aspects of your life. It’s only through deep self-observation that you can begin to disidentify from your personality. And to experience deeper transformation, you can use the Enneagram to follow the path along the arrows to actively work to achieve change.
The Enneagram’s arrows point in the direction of each type’s specific path of psychological and spiritual growth. These connection points help us to see how we can aim to embody the higher aspects of these two specific points. As the work with the wings is an evolution, the work with the arrows is a revolution path through the symbol of the Enneagram, and this workshop is a call for your very inner revolution.
This event will guide students in using the arrow points for their personal development. This journey will be in a collaborative environment guided by Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes, two Enneagram teachers who are committed to their own inner work. This workshop will include meaningful experiences that will help to understand cutting-edge Enneagram arrow theory for each of the nine types.
MAY 30-31, 9:00 am - 05:30 pm CENTRAL EUROPEAN TIME
TUITION $475
The event is an in-person experience only, and will not be streamed or recorded. Limited spots.
the work is to loosen the grip of our type structure
…to move into a fuller, freer life. This starts with getting out of our fixated habits of attention. One of the ways to do that is to take advantage of our connections to other points on the Enneagram through the “arrow lines.” You can see the high side of arrow-line points of your type as “antidotes” for the habitual tendencies of your main type.
For instance, Ones who experience the “energizing” move to Seven can access a lighter, more playful way of being. This can expand their capacity for relaxation, which can fortify their inner resources for the resolution “move” to Four, where they can find inspiration for greater creativity and depth of feeling. Twos may learn to get in touch with needs and feelings at Four and access more inner power and strength at Eight.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The format of this interactive, 2-day workshop is a combination of lecture, demonstrations, type groups, meditation and exercises. It provides information about and an experience of the use of arrow-line points for self-development. The relationship with wings will also be discussed. We will explore how these elements have been viewed in the past, how they are described by important Enneagram-related teachings from Gürdjieff, the Sufis, and others, and how we might usefully experience them in our own personal work.
To physically and graphically demonstrate the movement, a floor diagram of the Enneagram will provide some volunteers of each type with an opportunity to experience the movements from their own type to their “energizing” point, the point against the arrow, and their “resolution” point, the point with the arrow while the rest of the group will experience this as witnesses and participants in the group experience.
What’s in it for me?
In this workshop you will learn:
The developmental function of the wings and arrow line movements as mapped by the Enneagram symbol.
The history behind the different elements of Enneagram symbol as a model of personal evolution—and revolution.
How we can unconsciously slide to the low side of our arrow line points and become inspired by the high side of those same points.
How to consciously stretch or expand beyond your type’s focus of attention by using your main type’s wing points and arrow-line connected points.
How to achieve more balance in life by more regularly embodying the gifts and strengths of our wings and arrow-line connected points.
