The Enneagram is an ancient system for understanding the basic patterns that distort human expression The misunderstanding of the nature of these patterns causes fear, anger, sadness, confusion, self hatred, pride,  judgement, etc. These patterns run deeper than the personality. This specific method to working with The Enneagram  provides approaches for recognizing the distorted patterns and releasing them. When we are free of these knots our lives are free of suffering.

The Enneagram was first understood by mathematicians as a numerical system for understanding the framework of the universe. This geometric pattern can be seen imprinted on buildings throughout the east. George Gurdgieff, a Russian mystic brought the Enneagram to the west at the beginning of the 20 th century. Oscar Ichazo developed the first modern interpretation applying the Enneagram to the psychology of the human being.  Eli Jaxon-Bear has taken this work even further. These workshops are based largely on Jaxon-Bear’s work.

This workshop is an evolving system. Currently, it is being presented in three stages on three separate days with time between to assimilate and explore.

In the first Stage the information on all the patterns will be presented.  This will include a discussion on how to determine which patterns fit each person; followed by ways to untie the knots.

The second stage will be scheduled at least two weeks after the first workshop. It will involve deeper explorations of the patterns, the movement between patterns, and approaches for releasing them.

The third stage will provide opportunities for each person to process what they've learned in their personal exploration. This workshop will include the integration of all the patterns.
