There is so much good material and method in the study of Enneagram subtypes that makes it worthwhile to spend a day exploring our personal work and relationships in this context. In a small study group format we will discuss the best use of all three instincts - self preservation, one-to-one and social - and how to guide our subtype activity in ways that serve our true purpose rather than our automatic patterns of behavior.
The format will be a combination of presentation, inner practice and discussion, with some side trips into object relations psychology. You should have a basic understanding of subtypes prior to the workshop since we will be focusing on application and practice rather than descriptions.
Topics include:
- How can we best manage our subtype "projects"
- How can we take the emotional habit of our type out of our subtype activity
- How do we apportion our time and energy in each instinctual territory; how much is enough; what activities do we like and what do we avoid
- Effective practices for developing each instinct
- How to get along with other subtypes
We'll meet at Peter & Pat's home in the Richmond hills, near I-80. Please register early to assure a space.
