The Three Instincts of the Enneagram: A Practical Exploration
LIVE In-Person 5-Day Workshop in Big Sur, California at Esalen Institute
October 18-23, 2026
In this workshop, we will clarify and deepen our understanding of the Instincts, seeing them at work in our personal experiences. Through experiential exercises, movement, and meditation, we will observe how the instincts show up in real time — how they support, limit, and shape our awareness — and practice engaging them with curiosity rather than resistance. Open to both newcomers and longtime students of the Enneagram, this is an accessible and grounded approach to understanding how our most basic drives can become allies in living with greater awareness and authenticity.
