Are you interested in exploring the Enneagram more deeply within a like-hearted, supportive community?
The study of the Vice, Virtues, and Fixations of the Enneagram offers us a rich landscape to explore as it unearths our heart’s deepest suffering and exposes our strategy that keeps us from experiencing our hearts deepest longing. This group will also explore how our mind does it's best to protect us but keeps the suffering going through it's type particular fixation. The virtues describe nine qualities of the heart that arise as we become present and have welcomed home our “orphaned parts” within us. The virtues are not behaviors we try and “mimic.” They are a quality of presence and the “fruit” of our integrative inner work.
This group is designed as a co-creative, learning experience online. We will use Sandra Maitri’s book, “The Enneagram of Passions and Virtues,” working through what the material brings up within us as well as teachings on the fixations each week. In addition, we’ll do body, heart, and mind practices to explore these patterns and create space within that over time begins to "re-wire" our habits transforming them into new ways of being.
While this group is beneficial to both new and seasoned students of the Enneagram, we will not focus on individual type discovery. Instead, you will come away with greater understanding and compassion for core human struggles as described by the 9 types and our great capacity to love. From this more alive and present space we can be more attuned and engaged in our outer service and purpose in our community.
This course is intended to be a small group format (8-10 people) to create an intimate space for connection and sharing.
