SUMMARY:The Transformational Enneagram: Mindfulness\, Insight and Experience
DESCRIPTION:October 20–25\, 2024\n\n			\n				Register Now\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				More and more\, people are discovering the Enneagram as an accurate and profound map of personality. In this workshop\, we’ll explore the full scope of its power to illuminate our greatest wisdom\, become our truest selves\, and face life’s challenges with fortitude and grace. \nThe nine Enneagram types are based on the three primary centers of intelligence: thinking\, emotion\, and instinct. However\, in almost all human beings\, distortions or blockages in these centers lead to a loss of connection with our essential nature and arising ego structures to compensate for this loss. Thus\, while our Enneagram type\, our true nature\, is usually obscured with a characteristic web of defenses\, discovering ourselves through the Enneagram can serve as an opening to the deeper reality of spirit. \nThis workshop will recognize the ways the nine Enneagram types play out in our own personalities. We’ll combine psychological insight into the inner workings of the different personality types with meditation practices and exercises designed for a more direct experience of the qualities of essence\, such as presence\, clarity\, compassion\, and joy. Conversational instruction will be added along with group meditations\, small-group work\, physical movements\, and music to help us fully integrate the richness of the Enneagram material into our daily work and relationships. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Workshop Schedule: \n\nSunday‍5:00 pm – 5:45 pm *How to Drop into Esalen*7:15 pm – 9:30 pm‍Monday‍10:00 am – 12:00 pm4:00 pm – 6:00 pm8:00 pm – 10:00 pm‍Tuesday‍10:00 am – 12:00 pm4:00 pm – 6:00 pm8:00 pm – 10:00 pm‍Wednesday‍10:00 am – 12:00 pm4:00 pm – 6:00 pm‍Thursday‍10:00 am – 12:00 pm4:00 pm – 6:00 pm8:00 pm – 10:00 pm‍Friday‍9:30 am – 12:30 pm \n\n\nMore activities can be found on our open class schedule. \nSee general schedule information including arrival\, departure\, and meal times. \n\n\nWe offer scholarship funds for those with financial need. \n\n			\n				Register Now

SUMMARY:Shock Point: Using the Wisdom of Enneagram to Live and Create Pivotal Change
DESCRIPTION:Register Here\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Dates & Times : Friday\, November 3rd (10:00 AM – 6:30 PM) & Saturday\, November 4th\, 2023 (9:30 AM – 5:00 PM)Teacher: Russ Hudson (with translation between English and Japanese)Venue: Rengo-Kaikan\, Ochanomizu\, TokyoParticipation Fee: 56\,000 yen (Tax included)Accommodation: For those who need accommodation in Tokyo\, we will provide a list of nearby hotels. Please make the reservation yourself. Early reservation is recommended. \nThere can be little doubt that we are living into a time of great changes and transformations in our world. Many old and familiar structures are no longer working adequately\, and we face challenges on many fronts: the aftermath of the pandemic\, wars and conflict\, our climate\, our economy\, global politics\, and so on. \nSo it is not at all strange that these major shifts and events can create fear and uncertainty in us. This is where true self knowledge and practice can be enormous help. \nAt this point\, we may see that simply knowing the descriptions of the nine personality types of the Enneagram is a good beginning\, but does not go far enough in helping us live the kind of lives that we are seeking. We need to understand the deeper background of the Enneagram and we need to learn practices we can use in our daily lives to support us when there are challenges and when we have the opportunity to be of help to others. \nOne of the ideas that Gurdjieff brought about the original purpose of the Enneagram was the concept of “shock points.” Shock points are events in life that challenge our usual way of being—that disrupt “business as usual.” In such moments\, we may fall into more reactive and damaging beliefs and behaviors\, or we may rise to the occasion with an expanded sense of our capacities and our ability to respond intelligently. \nBut shock points do not allow us to stay the same. Life brings big shock points and little ones\, but knowing how to navigate them so that we respond with the best part of ourselves is one of the most important elements of wisdom we can have. \nThe fixated personality is focused on comfort—on maintaining what is familiar. While this is a normal thing for humans to do\, comfort is not the same as wellbeing\, and wellbeing includes the dedication to development. Anything that helps us develop is usually not comfortable—whether we are starting a new program of exercise or meditation\, or learning a new language or skill\, it is generally not comfortable. \nGrowth and development much depends on having shock points in our lives and learning to use them well. In this way we free ourselves from the traps of “comfort” and begin to live a life more of wellbeing and development. And in this way\, we become more able to respond to the challenges of the world with more courage and grace. \nAll of us have areas of ourselves we have denied\, hidden\, or been afraid of. The great psychologist Carl Jung called these areas our shadow. Most real Enneagram work is working with our shadow material\, and learning to meet our shadow brings us in touch with parts of ourselves we actually need. Further\, turning toward our shadow rather than away from it\, creates a shock point\, and opens up a new potential portal to growth. \nIn this new workshop\, Russ Hudson will invite us to explore the different kinds of shock points\, and particularly those that are connected with our Enneagram type. We will also learn how to create shocks for ourselves—to engage in new ways of thinking and behaving that will keep us opening up to new growth possibilities and new inner resources. We will learn ways to use our own Enneagram type and the types connected to us by the inner lines of the symbol to recognize the shock points in our lives\, and to learn to create new opportunities for ourselves to grow. \nThe workshop will include meditation\, music\, and exercises to help us customize the material we are learning\, and to see how it applies to the realities of our lives. We will learn to recognize some of our shadow issues\, but more importantly\, to have an experience of the strengths and gifts that those shadow issues can hide. Hopefully\, we will all emerge from the weekend with more energy and confidence to respond to the changing forces and trends in our world\, and to be a force for good in our lives. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Recommended Reading \nWe recommend that you read “The Wisdom of the Enneagram” by Don Riso and Russ Hudson for better understanding of the workshop. \nRuss Hudson Profile \nRuss Hudson is one of the principal scholars and innovative thinkers in the Enneagram world today.
