THE ENNEAGRAM AND RELATIONSHIPS
WORKSHOP

Relationships are one of the most rewarding as well as the most
frustrating aspects of our existence. Whether in intimate or work
settings, the quality of our relationships has an enormous impact on
the quality of our lives, on our self-esteem, and on our careers. Yet,
we often find the behavior of others baffling—even if we have known
them intimately for many years. Often, the very things that we do not
understand in others are the greatest sources of problems and
conflicts in our relationships. Clearly, the better we know ourselves
and the people in our lives, the more harmonious and satisfying our
relationships will be. The Enneagram, with its remarkable wisdom,
sheds a powerful light on all of these dimensions.
This workshop will help people understand their Enneagram type’s
emotional triggers, mental distortions when under stress, the ways in
which they abandon themselves and their relationships, and will
provide clarity on how to stay present to self and others. This
creates a bridge to intimacy and loving connection. Individuals will
experience deeper compassion for the psychological and emotional
mechanisms that challenge each of types, and understanding for the
ways in which they defend themselves from hurt, and what assists them
in coming forth with their genuine heart. The Wake-up Call of each
type will be addressed, along with the core fear patterns of each
type, and what each type needs to feel loved, seen, and held. The
importance of our Instinctual bias will also shed light on the natural
survival strategies that each type employs when afraid or
insecure. In addition, the object relations patterns of each type
will be illuminated, pointing to powerful unconscious patterns that
underlie much of what unwittingly frustrates or derails our
relationships.
Participants will be guided to use the Enneagram as a profound and
immensely practical way to understand their relationships with others,
both intimate and professional. We will feature exercises as well as
music, meditations, and practices that will help bring greater
Presence to our inquiry.
