Advanced Inward Turn Level 1
Awakening to Radical Inclusion: A Journey from Self-Forgetting to Self-Remembering
April 14–19, 2027 | Leamington Spa, England
Led by Somatic Enneagram Founder Marion Gilbert
Throughout our lives, we develop ways of protecting ourselves, navigating uncertainty, and adapting to the world around us. These patterns help us survive, but they can also lead us away from a fuller experience of who we are. Over time, parts of our experience become forgotten, defended, or pushed beyond our conscious awareness. We may find ourselves living from familiar strategies without recognizing how much of ourselves remains outside our awareness.
Advanced Inward Turn Level 1 invites us into a deeper exploration of this process through the Somatic Enneagram. Guided by Marion Gilbert, we will explore the journey of self-forgetting and the possibility of self-remembering—not simply as ideas to understand, but as experiences we can encounter through the intelligence of the body.
Drawing upon the movement around the Enneagram symbol, this retreat explores how we gradually contract and adapt as we learn to survive an uncertain world. Through the counterclockwise movement of self-forgetting, we recognize the ways our patterns become organized around protection. Then, through the conscious clockwise movement of the Enneagram of Renewal, we explore the possibility of returning toward greater presence, integration, and wholeness.
At the heart of this experience is the practice of radical inclusion: learning to remain present with more of ourselves, including the parts we have learned to resist, avoid, or disconnect from. Rather than attempting to overcome our defenses, we develop the capacity to meet them with awareness and compassion, creating space for deeper reconciliation and a renewed connection with our essential nature.

What You Will Experience
Across six immersive days, Marion will guide participants through advanced Somatic Enneagram teaching, facilitated inquiry, embodied awareness practices, personal reflection, and shared exploration within a supportive community.
Building upon the foundational Modules, this retreat invites you to explore the movement from self-forgetting toward self-remembering, recognizing how the protective strategies of personality have shaped your experience and how these patterns can begin to soften through conscious presence.
Through the framework of the Enneagram of Renewal, you will explore the movement around the Enneagram symbol as a pathway toward greater integration. Somatic practices will help you recognize defended or forgotten aspects of yourself, develop the capacity to remain present with difficult experiences, and practice including more of your inner experience without judgment or resistance.
What You Will Gain
Through Advanced Inward Turn Level 1, you will deepen your capacity to recognize the patterns of self-forgetting and explore what becomes possible when you meet them with greater awareness, compassion, and presence.
You will develop a more experiential understanding of radical inclusion, learning to remain connected to aspects of yourself that may have become defended, rejected, or forgotten.
You will also explore the Enneagram of Renewal as a pathway toward self-remembering, strengthening your capacity to recognize habitual survival strategies while creating more space for integration, reconciliation, and choice.
Ultimately, this work invites a deeper relationship with your essential nature—not by becoming someone different, but by learning to welcome more of who you already are
About Your Guide(s)
Marion Gilbert
Marion Gilbert is the founder of the Somatic Enneagram and an internationally recognized Enneagram teacher whose work has helped bring embodied awareness into the heart of Enneagram practice.
Drawing from decades of experience in somatic awareness, trauma-informed practice, and the Enneagram, Marion developed the Somatic Enneagram as a way of working directly with the patterns of type as they are experienced through sensation, attention, reactivity, and the intelligence of the body.
Her teaching invites participants beyond simply understanding personality and toward experiencing their patterns as they arise in the present moment. Through compassionate inquiry and embodied practice, Marion helps participants cultivate greater presence, choice, resilience, and freedom while reconnecting with the deeper qualities of Essence.
