THE EMBODIEDENNEAGRAM: Body, Breath, Emotion & Personality Type

with Peter O'Hanrahan

The Enneagram is a holistic system which describes how personality and character structure are formed in three centers of intelligence -mind, heart, and body. The Embodied Enneagram Workshop is an
opportunity to work with all three centers, combining mindfulness with a body-based approach to healing and relationship. When we understand the specific issues and defenses of each personality
type we can apply the best methods of psychology and body therapy in a way that is attuned to the individual.

Many of our physical and emotional patterns were formed early in childhood, before the intellect
was fully developed. A body-based approach enables us to contact and work with these patterns
which are at the root of our type structure. We will use the breath to develop sensory awareness,
to relax and open the body, and to contact our emotions. We'll explore patterns of body armor and
resistance, and find new internal resources that can help us in the healing journey.

The true self is based in body sensation, instinct, and emotion. Yet in modern culture, emotions
and the body are often neglected in favor of the intellect. The path of embodiment brings us
closer to true selves and it opens up our capacity for more empathy and skill in relationship.

  • Nine patterns of neurobiology that are the basis of the personality types.
  • The nine somatic profiles including patterns of body energy, breathing and body armor.
  • Practical techniques for working with your body, breath, and emotions.
  • How to manage experiences of stress, overwhelm, and the fight/flight/freeze response.
  • How to bring embodied presence to your relationships and personal or professional practice.

This workshop combines presentation and discussion with experiential work, about 50/50. The
goal is to create a safe space for embodiment practice and healing - each participant will be
encouraged to go at their own pace. Our practices will include simple breathing and stretching
exercises, shoulder and neck massage, and guided breathwork sessions.

  • Anyone who wants to experience the integration of mind, heart and body using the map of the
  • enneagram. Prior enneagram work is not required, although it’s helpful if you know your
  • enneagram type.
  • Students and teachers of the enneagram will expand their knowledge of the nine types, deepen
  • their personal work and learn body-based practices for healing and growth.
  • Therapists and health professionals will learn embodied practices which will empower their
  • work with clients and support integration in three centers.
