Living The Enneagram: A 10-Month Somatic Immersion

A deep dive for therapists, educators, and seekers to nourish their personal practice and professional presence.

This 10-month immersion is designed for those who wish to move beyond the intellectual categories of the Enneagram and into the living reality of the body. This is not a training to teach the system, but a dedicated container to integrate it, supporting the work you already do by deepening the presence you bring to it.

Over ten months, we will travel the Enneagram as a dynamic inner ecology. We will explore how our enneagram-type is a sophisticated somatic strategy, a specific way our bodies have learned to navigate the world. For those in the helping professions, this course offers a profound clinical resonance, helping you sense the subtle archetypal patterns in your clients and students by first recognizing them deeply within yourself.

How This Supports Your Work:

  • For Professionals (Therapists, Coaches, Educators): This immersion provides a map to help you work with the subtle dynamics of each ennea-type. You will learn to recognize Type-based tensions and defensive grips as they arise, allowing for a more nuanced, embodied approach to your existing practice.

  • For Seekers: This is a journey of un-masking. You will learn to identify the habitual patterns of your personality, opening a doorway to respond to life with more curiosity, courage, and care.

  • Ecopsychological Integration: We will bridge the Enneagram with imaginative ways of knowing, exploring how our inner landscape mirrors the rhythms of the natural world.

The goal of this ten-month journey is integration over information. You will emerge not with a script to follow, but with a refined embodied understanding of this profound psycho-spiritual map. By doing this deep work yourself, you naturally enhance your capacity to hold space for others with greater clarity, resilience, and somatic wisdom.
