The Enneagram is a spiritual system that is used in modern psychology to understand who we are, what holds us back, and how we can meet our highest potential. The Enneagram refers to the nine different personality types, each of which represents a lens that resonates with the way people think, feel, and act in relation to themselves, to others, and to the world.  

The teachings of the Enneagram go beyond the nine personality profiles, and when used correctly, helps us come back into presence. The Enneagram offers us insights into the core motivations embedded in our behaviors and can reveal what hinders a more natural and appropriate response to what arises in our lives. As our awareness of our patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving grows, we can start unraveling the habits that keep us stuck. By seeing how our habitual actions and behaviors undermine our true nature and desires, we can begin to create a clear path forward, stepping into an expanded sense of our potential.  

In this workshop, Enneagram expert and life coach Lara Heller facilitates a day-long exploration of the Enneagram highlighting how it can be used as a tool for personal growth, awareness, and transformation. Learn about the motivations, fears, and gifts of all nine personality types, and how this knowledge can lead to a deeper connection with ourselves and others. Discover how the Enneagram can provide a doorway to being more present in your life and more connected to who you really are.  
 
Lara guides you in deepening your understanding of each type by learning three communication styles seen through the lens of the Enneagram. Understanding these communication styles can help you shift how you relate to others, enable you to connect in a deeper more meaningful way, and enhance your relationships. 
 
Join Lara for an exploration of the Enneagram and discover how to use it to transform your life and illuminate what is truly possible for you and your relationships.
