From Type to Awareness: Learn Transformational Steps for All Types

Annual community Brunch & Program

Chelsea Witbrook will guide us in a fun exploration of Typing by showing movies clips to help you “see” and “feel” each Type. She will do a brief teaching to help discern the Triadics (Social Stance, Harmonics, and Dominant Center) which will help us find the Type of each movie character. We will also use this as an opportunity to help people "see" and "feel" the Essence of each Type that lies beneath the personality (that is present even beneath very neurotic behaviors). Instead of using the Enneagram for quick stereotyping, we’ll feel into the energy of the Type and Essence while training ourselves to see with eyes of Understanding and Compassion. This presentation will include breakout discussions at each table, and interactive sharing in the large group, all while sharing a delicious brunch together.

The Many Pathways to Presence: Coming Home to Ourselves and Each Other

What if growth isn't about changing ourselves, but deepening our capacity to be with ourselves and each other just as we are?

This January begins our 2​027 Series, which explores the three centers of intelligence (Belly, Heart, and Head) as doorways “home” to presence.

These doorways drop us below the habitual surface of our lives into our direct knowing and experience, awakening greater vitality and creative flow. Each month focuses on a different pathway to presence. The series culminates in an exploration of the Law of Three and the power of all three centers working together.

• Practice befriending our experience (Belly, Heart, and Head) as doorways to presence and our true essence.
• Explore John Harper’s Stages of Development as a guide for loosening our habitual patterns and finding our way home.

Self-compassion isn’t just a nice idea, it’s a crucial component of personal growth work. Join us for an interactive, experiential workshop designed to help you integrate self-compassion into your inner work. We’ll explore why self-compassion is an essential ingredient for personal growth, identify the unique barriers that keep each type from self kindness, and provide practical tools to engage your head, heart, and body. Come prepared to uncover your type’s core wounding and leave with practical tools for practicing self-kindness.

Coming Home to Ourselves Through the Wisdom of the Head, Heart, and Body. We can spend years learning about our Enneagram patterns, but how do we move from an intellectual understanding of ourselves to truly experiencing how our patterns live within us? Through a somatic approach that engages the wisdom of all three Enneagram Centers—Head, Heart, and Body—we'll explore new possibilities for inner work. Guided practices, reflection, and group discussion will create space to slow down, deepen awareness, and reconnect with ourselves in ways that understanding alone cannot offer.

What does it mean to truly see ourselves? Our Enneagram type gives us the first hint - we begin where we are. And we bring self-compassion as we say yes to the invitation to dive a bit deeper. Maybe you are familiar with the terms - self observation and self remembering - they get thrown around often in Enneagram education - but what does it really mean to adopt these practices for inner work? Drawing on the teachings of Gurdjieff and Red Hawk, we will explore self-observation and self-remembering as essential practices of inner work. We will learn to recognize our habitual patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving—not to judge or fix ourselves, but to bring greater awareness to the unconscious patterns that often run our lives.
