This stand-alone workshop is also part of our Enneagram Narrative Core Program.
The format includes short presentations, panel interviews guided practices and discussion.

Working with the Enneagram’s instinctual subtypes (self-preservation, one-to-one and social)
is a vital part of inner work and returning to our essential self. The 27 subtypes also illuminate the important variations among people of the same personality type. In key relationships, understanding subtypes brings these primary areas of focus to each person’s awareness and provides a language to describe similarities and differences. 

•   Connect to a greater sense of security, well-being and purpose
•   Gain a better understanding of why people think, feel and act differently
•   Improve communication, reduce conflict and build new bridges with loved ones
•   Learn to meet each others’ needs for security, identity, contact and withdrawal
