In-person Modules 1-3
From Understanding Your Type
to Experiencing Your Essential Nature
April 21–27, 2027 | Birmingham, England
Led by Marion Gilbert & Heather Brown
The Enneagram offers a powerful framework for understanding the patterns of personality, but recognizing our type is only the beginning. Real transformation invites us to move beyond what we know about ourselves and begin experiencing how our patterns operate in the present moment—through sensation, emotion, attention, energy, and the intelligence of the body.
Somatic Enneagram Modules 1–3 offers an immersive, seven-day journey into the foundational practices of the Somatic Enneagram Method. Guided by Marion Gilbert and Heather Brown, participants will explore how the patterns of Enneagram type become organized within the body, how our natural defense systems respond to perceived threats, and how deeper survival strategies shape our experience of ourselves and the world.
Through experiential teaching, somatic awareness practices, compassionate inquiry, and learning in community, you'll develop the capacity to recognize these patterns as they arise rather than simply reflecting on them afterward. Moving through all three Modules together creates an opportunity for each stage of the work to build upon the last, supporting a deeper understanding of your inner experience and a growing capacity for presence, integration, and choice.
Whether you're beginning your Somatic Enneagram journey or seeking to deepen your existing Enneagram knowledge through embodied practice, this training offers a foundation for ongoing personal growth and further exploration of the Somatic Enneagram Method.

What You Will Experience
Across seven immersive days, you'll move through the three foundational Somatic Enneagram Modules through teaching, experiential exercises, somatic inquiry, reflection, type exploration, and learning in community.
Beginning with body intelligence and embodied awareness, you'll develop the Inner Observer, Grounded Presence, and greater awareness of where you place your attention. Through felt sense, resourcing, and integration practices, you'll learn to recognize the patterns of your Enneagram type as they arise in real time.
From there, you'll explore the body's natural defense system, including fight, flight, and freeze, and begin recognizing how your system responds when you feel challenged, threatened, or overwhelmed. Rather than trying to eliminate these protective responses, you'll practice meeting them with curiosity and compassion.
Finally, you'll move into a deeper exploration of the survival strategies of Enneagram type, discovering how habitual patterns of thinking, feeling, and instinct shape your experience.Â
The in-person format offers extended time for practice, personal reflection, and shared learning, allowing the work of each Module to deepen and build upon the next.

What You Will Gain
Through Modules 1–3, you'll develop a practical foundation for experiencing the Enneagram through the intelligence of the body—not simply understanding your type intellectually.
You'll strengthen your capacity for grounded presence, embodied awareness, and compassionate self-observation, learning to recognize patterns of sensation, attention, emotion, contraction, and impulse as they arise.
You'll also develop a deeper understanding of your defense system and survival strategies, discovering how protective responses and habitual patterns shape your relationships, choices, and experience of yourself.
Ultimately, this work helps create more space between reaction and response, supporting greater freedom, integration, and connection with the essential qualities that exist beneath the patterns of personality.

Through compassionate inquiry and embodied practice, Marion helps participants cultivate greater presence, choice, resilience, and freedom while reconnecting with the deeper qualities of Essence.
