level 2 year-long Certification

This program is recommended for healing professionals, educators, and facilitators looking to add this system to their professional modalities.

It is also recommended for personal growth and PsychoSpiritual awakening. The enneagram is a powerful tool for transforming painful patterns, becoming free from the contracted sense of self, and embodying the open and expanded qualities of our patterns.

We plan to begin the next program late fall 2017.

Participants are encouraged to engage in a private on-going virtual discussion group created for each cohort

Cohorts are kept small 8-10 people to provide an intense learning experience. Participants tend to bond closely and form connections that last beyond the program. The inter-cohort dynamics enhance both formal and informal learning components of the training.

We schedule all the meetings together in advance at the beginning of the year. When participants are unable to attend a class for extenuating circumstances, they are still obligated to pay for the class due at the date of the class and set up a private meeting with the instructors to cover missed material.

The first step is a weekend intensive to build a foundation of connection and trust so that we all move into the program receptive and ready to embrace the psycho-spiritual depth of this work. 

After the initial weekend intensive, each monthly class focuses on either a triad or Enneagram type. The triad or type is described and demonstrated by a panel. Program participants are strongly encouraged to invite friends and family they believe have the type of the month to sit on the panels. Panel volunteers are interviewed with respect and compassion to make their experience as comfortable as possible.

Each class is split in two parts. The first half of the day is an audio recorded panel teaching. Participants receive a recording from each meeting, the cost is part of the tuition. During the second half of the day we meet to process the panel, discuss reactions from our own fixations, learn how to embody the pattern, and work at releasing and transforming patterns.

The final step is a weekend intensive, which provides the final supportive structure needed to move out into the world as an enneagram teacher, facilitator, and consultant in the Embodiment Tradition.

Curriculum

Participants learn how to facilitate using the Enneagram including how to describe and demonstrate the types, subtypes, movement, and pattern transformation. Participants will learn how to describe and differentiate the hierarchy of subtypes, wings, movement and a second stage of pattern release.

Participants learn how to share with others the idea that we are born with a pattern – a way of seeing, understanding, and responding that is not personal, unique or individual. They learn how to share how to use the Enneagram as a tool for liberation and freedom. They learn that recognizing and accepting these patterns is the first step in a much bigger journey to liberation.

Participants learn how to introduce others to the Enneagram in a way that represents its psycho-spiritual power and original purpose. If this is done well and the teaching resonates, people often go on to delve deeper into their healing process. If it is not done well, people may find the information interesting but not understand its deep importance and power. When the Enneagram teaching is clear and deep it is a path to freedom from a contracted heart, mind, and body.

Facilitating the Enneagram can be dynamic and demonstrative. The energetic expression of each pattern can be acted out so that participants can see and feel the difference between each pattern. When the Enneagram is taught only descriptively it can be confusing because we all share so many behaviors, tendencies, and emotions. When the energetic dynamic is embodied and acted out, people get a feel for what is deeper than the personality or behavior. The underlying motivations influencing each type are presented in body language, talking style, and general demeanor. A skilled teacher has processed and transcended enough of their own Enneagram pattern to cleanly embody each of the other patterns.
