Why is it Important to do Enneagram work Gathered with Other People?

When we first learn about the enneagram and how it can open us up to who we truly are, our desire is to move quickly and figure it all out. This is just another side effect of living in our fast paced world. Everything in our culture is about getting it done quickly. 

We carry the Internet around in our hip pocket and very often use it to validate a point in a conversation or confirm our suspicions. The internet is an awesome tool, but when it comes to the nuances of our humanity. It does not have all the answers.

The answers we seek about our true wholeness cannot be realized by simple head knowledge, Internet or otherwise. As we have learned by working with the enneagram, we have three brains, not just the one in our head. We also have a Heart brain as well as our Body brain. All must be engaged to live a full life.

This is why it is so important to gather with people to do our work. When we are immerced in a circle of like-minded people, we can truly engage our three centres. We receive the knowledge that feeds our eager minds. We relate our experiences and receive other sharings with our hearts. And we also experience the physical presence of those gathered. We are witnessed and we are held in all our effort. Our bodies sense our work.

Joanie and I are very excited to announce our second annual enneagram retreat again in this spiritually magical village, Troncones, Mexico. This year we will be accompanying twelve individuals on their own personal journeys to realize a new kind of inner wholeness through: 

  • Expanding our understanding of Enneagram Typology

  • Opening our awareness to move beyond Identification

  • Unlocking the hold of the Instinctual subtypes’ anxieties through the Breath

  • Observing and incorporating daily practices that unlock our inner knowing 

  • Integrating the best of who we really are through the Virtues of each space
