| In this all-day program, Don Riso and Russ Hudson,
two of the leading teachers and developers of the
Enneagram system in the world today, will present
their ground-breaking material on The Nine Domains and
The Nine Journeys.
During the morning session, Don and Russ will
be presenting their landmark new work on The
Nine Domains. Over the years, Don and Russ have
developed this concept as a holistic and systemic way of
understanding the Enneagram. (Note: This conceptual
work is not related to or derived from the “Nine
Domains” teachings of Oscar Ichazo.)
Instead of being simply a system of nine personality types,
the Enneagram can be seen as a way of understanding
and working with any complex, living system. The
Nine Domains show us the “necessary and sufficient”
components of any system from a conceptually higher
point of view. This way of working with the Enneagram
is, paradoxically, both practical and archetypal and leads
to many new surprising applications.
During the afternoon session, Russ and Don will reframe
the nine personality types as “The Nine Journeys.” Beyond
being a typology, the Enneagram is more profoundly
a map of nine core themes that each individual must
contend with on the way to true psychological and
spiritual maturity.
Each “type” can be seen as a metaphor for important
life realizations, challenges, and opportunities, as well
as an opening into real aspects of the totality of human
consciousness. Each voyager is facilitated immeasurably
by regarding his or her own inner landscape with insight,
“right understanding,” and compassion.
Russ and Don will discuss these nine themes while
employing meditation, music, and short exercises to
convey the sense of these journeys. This will not be an
introduction to the nine types, but will be useful for
anyone who is seriously engaged in inner work that is
based in presence and the clarification of consciousness. |
