Hillscourt Conference Centre, Rednal, Birmingham
Description
Enneagram Alive is delighted to bring Marion Gilbert and the transformative Somatic Enneagram Training to the UK in 2023. Marion will run the first three modules of the Somatic Enneagram Certification programme at Hillscourt Conference Centre in Birmingham, UK.
Modules 1-3 deepen your understanding and appreciation of your own somatic processes; Modules 4 and 5 and the certification process practise the skills to enable you to use the process with others. Modules 1-3 can be taken without committing to certification or can lead on to Modules 4-5. Read more …
What is the Somatic Enneagram?
As we start to use the Enneagram to understand ourselves better, we want to have more options for how we respond to life (rather than being “on automatic” in our type patterns). Our past history has hard-wired us to stick with what we know, our type patterns, because they keep us safe…. But they also keep us small, unable to open to our full self.
So how do we increase our capacity for received spiritual experience? How do we increase our ability to stay present in the moment and grounded in our being with a compassionate heart and a receptive, clear mind? The Enneagram suggests a three-centred approach – intellectual, emotional, and physical/somatic. The Somatic Enneagram enables us to notice where we hold our type patterns in our body and teaches strategies to help us include (rather than resist) our old patterns as we reclaim who we truly are. Through these practices we can soften the compulsion of our type – not with the aim of getting rid of our patterns, but to free ourselves from being addicted to them. Read more ....

Prerequisites To Participate in the Somatic Enneagram Training and Certification Programme
- This is a sequential program, from Module 1–5, and it is not a beginner’s programme. Good self-awareness and sufficient knowledge of your own correct type is necessary.
- A sufficient, basic understanding of all nine types of the Enneagram system is advisable.
- This program is for those who want to dive more personally and deeply into their own growth and learning, as well as for those who want to pursue certification for their own professional or personal application.
- The program calls for a commitment to personal and professional growth and the desire to deepen understandings of the obstacles to self-observation, automatic patterns of behaviour, somatic defence system, and the reactivity associated with your own type.
- This program calls for a commitment to an Inner Practice and its significance for creating the capacity to relax type structure.
- Participants are willing to take full responsibility for their psychological health and physical well-being and have the wisdom to seek professional support as needed. Participants also know when to send their clients to seek support from additional coaches, consultants, and/or counsellors.
- For those who want to certify, previous Enneagram certification by an accredited Enneagram school is recommended.
If your knowledge of the Enneagram does not match these criteria and you would like to attend, please contact Heather Brown at Enneagram Alive to discuss how you can reach the required level by May 2023.
