See all- Enneagram in the Wild: 9 Ways of BeingAvalon Permaculture Gardens, Glastonbury
A workshop to inspire and resource you, whether you’re new to The Enneagram or already know it well. With the immediacy of a small group space deep in nature it’s an opportunity to experience the symbol in refreshingly different ways.
Come and enjoy the Enneagram for yourself in a hands-on, down-to earth way. We’ll work with a powerful Enneagram mat, so you have an embodied, first-hand experience of the essential qualities contained and flowing within the symbol. Weather permitting, we’ll do outdoor energy work in the beautiful natural surroundings of Avalon Permaculture Gardens.
The Enneagram is an ancient symbol found in sacred geometry. An ever-moving map of movement, connection, flow and change. The philosopher Gurdjieff said it could give insight into anything we might hope to understand. Today, The Enneagram is best-known as an astonishingly accurate map of human experience: personality, identity and relationship.
The Enneagram symbol shows nine ways of being, nine essential qualities that shape our feelings, thoughts and actions. Each point has a positive spiritual quality that drives our greatest longing and our keenest disappointment. It’s where we may shine in the world and in relationship. It is also often personally unseen yet seen by others. So the symbol shows nine ways we lose sight of who we really are and how we may get back on track. How to connect more truly with who we are, with people, place, spirit and life’s full potential.
In this workshop, if you’re new to the Enneagram you may discover your ‘home base’ point. If you’ve already found it, you’’ll be able to re-assess and take your learning deeper. An opportunity to:
- Feel more vibrant and alive by sensing your life force and your strongest positive qualities
- Improve relationships using The Enneagram to better understand yourself and those around you
- Sense into your life purpose and spiritual path with The Enneagram as a personal compass
- Find resources and reassurance amidst vast global challenges to climate, economy, society and home life
- Discover or reaffirm your 'home base point' appreciating how it shapes you, past and present
- Nurture yourself with good company and the healing energy of Avalon Permaculture Gardens

- Loving Life with The EnneagramThe Ammerdown Conference & Retreat Centre, Somerset
Meet the Enneagram and its life-affirming resources. This weekend workshop provides a strong foundation in The Enneagram. It’s perfect as an introduction, or if you’ve met the Enneagram already and would like to build on that.
The workshop offers a chance to see yourself, your life and your relationships more clearly. It’s about getting to know yourself in new ways, with The Enneagram as guide. You may discover a blueprint for what you do repeatedly and WHY you do it. New ways to support yourself in whatever life challenges and potential is calling you right now.
Practical help and spiritual inspiration? You’ll also be getting to know the Enneagram and the resources it offers as a symbol pulsing with life, movement and flow, along with the spiritual gifts that resonate at each of the 9 points.
We’ll explore The Enneagram in a hands-on, down-to earth way, working with a potent Enneagram mat, so you have an embodied, first-hand experience. Weather permitting, we’ll work outside in Ammerdown's beautiful gardens.
Carl Jung famously said that symbols cannot be understood by study alone, through cognitive knowing ‘about’. They have to be experienced, felt and sensed from within. This is certainly true of The Enneagram. It means that if you’ve learned about The Enneagram in books or through online sources – or encountered it in other settings - this workshop will take your knowledge and appreciation to a different place. And however much or little you already know, it’s always great to be part of a small group, seeing and hearing each point come alive through the unique personal stories of the people you’re with (in the “narrative tradition”). It brings the ‘aha’ moments that make sense of so much, about the Enneagram and about life, our own and others, individually and collectively.
