Module 1 Online

What You Will Experience

Throughout Module 1, Heather will guide you through a combination of teaching, experiential practice, reflection, and embodied inquiry designed to help you experience the Enneagram from within rather than simply learn more information about your type.

You will be introduced to foundational Somatic Enneagram practices that help you slow down and notice what is happening beneath familiar thoughts and behaviors. By turning toward sensation, attention, emotion, and the felt experience of the body, you can begin recognizing your type structure as it emerges in real time.

Together, we will explore the intelligence of the body and its relationship with the Head, Heart, and Body Centers, developing practices that support greater grounding, presence, and capacity to remain with your experience without immediately falling into habitual reactions.

Because this experience takes place online, you can participate from your own environment while still engaging in a live, experiential learning community.

What You Will Gain

Module 1 will give you essential tools for working with your type structure from the inside out. Rather than trying to eliminate your patterns, you will begin developing the capacity to recognize them, stay present with them, and allow greater possibility to emerge.

You will learn practices that can help you:

Relax the automatic patterns of type.
Begin recognizing how type structure appears through sensation and embodied response, creating more space between reactivity and choice.

Develop greater resilience.
Strengthen your capacity to remain present with challenging experiences without immediately being overtaken by habitual defenses.

Integrate a body-centered approach.
Develop practical ways of bringing somatic awareness into your personal Enneagram work and, for practitioners, into the way you accompany clients and students.

Deepen your capacity for transformation.
Move beyond insight alone and begin working with patterns at the level where they are actually being experienced.

Guide yourself and others with greater awareness.
Develop a deeper understanding of how embodied presence can support meaningful and lasting change.

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, reactivity, and the intelligence of the body.

Her teaching invites students beyond simply understanding personality and toward the direct experience of their patterns in the present moment. Through compassionate inquiry and embodied presence, Marion helps participants develop greater capacity for choice, resilience, freedom, and access to the deeper qualities of Essence.
