The great gift of the Enneagram is that it exquisitely describes who you are not. It shows the veiling of true consciousness by habits of egoic identification. When these habits of mind are revealed, there is a clear choice to end the false identification and realize your true nature. ~ Eli.

This 5 day Self Realization with the Enneagram Retreat, offers participants the opportunity to discover in a deep and supportive way the use of the enneagram for insight and self-inquiry in the service of Self-Realization. The Enneagram reveals how we have falsely identified ourselves as the physical, emotional and mental bodies. The core identification is the unexamined belief that, 'I am somebody.'  Once this thought arises, the ego becomes crystallized in the mind and consciousness experiences itself as limited. In our time together we uncover the nine variations of the basic belief that one is a limited and separate body.

Each fixation will be recognized both externally and internally. We will use video, personal exemplars and exercise to facilitate a deep understanding and experience of each one. Once these patters of subconscious identification are brought to light, they can be discarded in the search for your true self. In Self Realization with the Enneagram we will uncover the traps and subconscious tendencies of mind that pull one back into misidentification, so that the eternal silent truth of oneself can be revealed. In this way, enlightenment or self-realization is possible.
