Relationships are one of the most rewarding — as well as the most frustrating — aspects of our existence. Whether in intimate or work settings, the quality of our relationships has an enormous impact on the quality of our lives, our livelihood, our self-esteem, and even our health.
We often find the behavior of others baffling—even if we have known them intimately for many years. Often, the attitudes and behaviors that we do not understand in others are the greatest sources of problems and conflicts in our relationships. Clearly, the better we understand our own psycho-dynamics and those of the people in our lives, the more harmonious and satisfying our relationships will be.
The Enneagram can help us tremendously in understanding and attuning to our relationships. This remarkable system sheds light on the most important psychological dynamics in our personality, as well as on the deeper spiritual yearnings of our soul. Each type has its own set of strengths, vulnerabilities, priorities, and perceptions of the world. The Enneagram can help us to realize who we are and what our greatest potentials might be, as well as to make sense of the behavior of others and the tensions, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise between us. Participants will be guided to use the Enneagram as a profound and practical way of understanding their relationships with others.
This program will explore the significant dynamics between the different types, introduce effective methods for communicating with each type, and show how our relationships are affected by the Centers of Intelligence (Head, Heart, Belly), The Levels of Development, The Harmonics (How We Approach Conflict), Object Relations, and The Instinctual Drives and Variants (Subtypes).
Using The Insight Approach® we will employ interactive exercises, centering meditations, panels of exemplars, music, and other techniques to help participants recognize their personal strengths and biases and uncover the blind spots we bring to our relationships. If you want to improve your relationship with a spouse, child, friend, business associate, or family member, this Workshop will be invaluable.
