Program Details

he Enneagram is a map that emerged from old traditions that studies, with precision, the human personality. A rudimentary form was introduced in the West during the early 20th century, but it was not deeply elaborated upon until Claudio Naranjo, with his extensive experience in personality assessment, made it a valuable tool for personal change. For several decades he has intertwined the Enneagram with modern psychology, thus presenting a new methodology for individual and spiritual evolution. In this special training program, Dr. Naranjo will, in addition to giving an Introduction to the Psychology of the Enneagram with its nine ennea-types, transmit knowledge of the 27 sub-types, which are still not well known.

By drawing parallels between the Enneagram, philosophy, music and film, Claudio Naranjo will bring the phe­nomenology of the different characters into a tangible experience. From a methodological point of view, he will give lectures and instructions, and together with an experienced team of group leaders will guide exercises for self-investigation as well as small group experiences.

Through mindful body work and movement, subtle observation of one's own character structures and resources will be taught, by which an understanding of the Enneagram can be reached beyond exclusively intellectual knowledge. Moreover, guided meditations will open the mind to the discovery and integration of aspects of the Self beyond one's usual forms.

In detail, the training will include the following elements:

  Wu-wei, Shamata and the investigation of the nature of the mind
  A practical introduction to the psychology of Ennea-types
  Psychological exercises in small groups
  Cultivating the mind in movement
  A discussion of the 27 Enneagram types through film excerpts

he concept of this special advanced training is based on Dr. Naranjo´s research and developmental work ac-complished over many decades in the fields of humanistic and transpersonal psychotherapy and pedagogy, as well as cultural, philosophical and spiritual traditions of the West and East.  

This event will apply the very promising results that rose out of the Symposium for the Investigation of the Enneagram Subtypes (Sevilla, December 2008) with more than 500 participants. These results are essential ingredients for the realisation of personal change that is needed in order to be able to deal with current social crises and upheavals.

This training is offered for the first time in Central Europe. It will be of interest for persons already experienced with the Enneagram, and for those who would like to learn about this knowledge. The large spectrum of methods, the increased of awareness of one's own character structures and those of others, as well as the impetus for indi-vidual development processes, will enable sustainable evolvement of personal and professional competency in the lives of the participants.
