Somatic Enneagram Module 3:
How Our Essence is the Key to Our Defensive Reflexes
Online Module on January 9-11, 2026
Led By Marion Gilbert
 Every one of us carries a spark of essence—the truest part of who we are. Yet too often, that essence is hidden beneath the survival strategies we’ve built to protect ourselves. In this module, you’ll learn how to distinguish between the deeper truth of your being and the conditioned patterns that keep you stuck in cycles of anxiety, stress, and avoidance.
With a focus on the interconnectedness of thought, feeling, and instinct, this training will guide you in navigating life’s most tender and challenging moments—loss, trauma, pressure, and uncertainty—with greater clarity and compassion.
Through experiential learning, you’ll uncover how somatic awareness is not just an insight, but a living practice that can reshape both your personal journey and the healing work you offer to others.
