Enneagram Essentials
An inviting, in-person workshop offering a gentle yet powerful way to meet the Enneagram - or to re-connect and deepen understanding - for newcomers and returners alike.
Newcomer track: Discover The Enneagram! Meet the Enneagram and explore your place within it, finding personal insight and resources for life.
Returner track: Revisit the Enneagram. This practice helps us “stay awake” (in Gurdjieff’s terms), stay conscious and deepen our understanding. As we come afresh to the material, so new insights and possibilities arise.Enneagram Essentials is a twin-track workshop designed to help bring light and movement into your life supported by Enneagram wisdom.
Residential and non-residential options available.READ MORE or BOOK through the AMMERDOWN CENTRE
"It has been on my to-do list all week to write and thank you both for that excellent, I would say life changing (in my case) week end! Thank you 😊 thank you 🙏! I find myself keenly thinking, reading and sharing about The Enneagram and remembering all sorts of details and fragments from the course."
"Dear Helen, This workshop was such a happy and productive time for me – I really hope to come again!"
"Hi both 👋🏻 Thanks for a brilliant w/end! Yes, thank you Helen for your perception & experience with Enneagram. Invaluable. Wow! When something is this illuminating and brilliant it just spreads – permeates everything. Thank you so much!"
Is this workshop for you?
Newcomer track: Discover The Enneagram. It shows us 9 different ways of being in the world, nine ways we shine, nine ways we limit ourselves from being in good connection with ourselves, with others and with Spirit. With Enneagram map in hand we have an extraordinary resource for navigating life. In personality, in relationship, with soul and spirit, The Enneagram seems simple but touches many layers.
Returner track: Revisit the Enneagram. This is a practice that continues to help us “stay awake” (in Gurdjieff’s terms), stay conscious and deepen our understanding. We change, the world is changing. As we come afresh to the material – after a few days, weeks, months or years – so new insights arise. We’ll be providing focused support to help you with your individual, on-going inquiry.
For Everyone: Your inquiry may be practical: seeking change or movement in a relationship, or another aspect of your life that’s calling for change. Or you may be looking for personal or spiritual growth, seeking changes at a deeper level and with stronger connection to Spirit. Gurdjieff famously taught that we meet the Enneagram where we’re at and offers the response we’re able to hear. Our experience is that it’s possible to open a space for exactly this.
The presence of two facilitators means we can offer this twin-track approach and support rich learning for returners and newcomers, while benefitting from mutual learning across the group as a whole. You’ll be able to bring the issues, hopes, dreams – whatever you are meeting personally - and work with it, supported by the sacred circle of Enneagram work and a well-held group process.
We’ll learn together in conversation, small group work and mini-lectures combined with the dynamic and embodied experience of using an Enneagram mat. Relaxing into shared stories, laughter and music will also play its part.
You'll be able to tap into vital resources for life and your personal spiritual journey in what are, personally and collectively, extraordinarily challenging times. More is being demanded of us – more is called for. Whatever our individual path, in the Enneagram we have a uniquely personal and dynamic route-map to help us on our way.
