  • An experiential process that will provide you with the awareness skills to implement immediate positive change. 


Key discussions and Insights:


A deepening somatic experience of vice to virtue reveals what it feels like when we are stuck in the coping strategies of our type. Helping us to recognise and move to the gifts and essential qualities of each enneagram point.


Explore the impact of our instincts. Using the body-based centre of intelligence, the enneagram instincts; learn how this instinctual knowledge can be used to reveal the blind spots in client interactions.


Discover a trauma informed approach to the 9 predictable ways our enneagram shadow will play out in the coaching / therapy room. We will explore the trauma-based defense strategies for coach / therapist / client.


Why object relations are a vital piece of the relationship puzzle. Explore the impact of early childhood relationship dynamics to uncover what is happening in present day problems, difficulty and conflict.
