Three Essential Forces in a Well-Lived Life

This is a fee-based event, offered by Sophia Carmien. CYWY is sharing this opportunity for you. Registration is elsewhere, so rsvps on Meetup do not reflect actual numbers.

What helps us feel grounded and supported? What creates a sense of belonging and connection? What brings passion, vitality, and aliveness to our lives?

The instincts are among the most powerful and least understood dimensions of the Enneagram. In this experiential workshop, we'll explore the three instincts as fundamental forces that are active in every person. The self-preservation instinct supports well-being, sustainability, and our relationship with resources. The social instinct supports connection, belonging, participation, and contribution. The passion instinct supports energetic attraction, intimacy, intensity, creation, and aliveness.

Together, we will:

• Explore how these instincts show up in everyday life
• Learn to recognize them through embodied experience
• Examine the ways they influence our life
• Choose new ways to engage with them

Along the way, we'll clarify common misconceptions and develop a richer, more nuanced understanding of what the instincts are and how they operate.

Rather than focusing solely on identifying a dominant instinct or subtype, this workshop invites you to explore your relationship with all three instincts and consider how to engage with each for a more balanced, meaningful, and fully-lived life.

Whether you're new to the Enneagram or have studied it for years, you'll gain practical insight into the instincts and discover ways to work with them more consciously in support of personal growth, spiritual development, and the expression of your soul's unique purpose.

Cost: This is a paid workshop. Registration fee is $65.
