Somatic Enneagram UK

What's happening at Somatic Enneagram UK?

We run Somatic Enneagram online and in-person workshops, plus Inward Turn Retreats, across the UK and Ireland. These are facilitated by Marion Gilbert and/or Heather Brown. Our community stretches across Europe and beyond — people who want to deepen their somatic journey by coming to the British Isles and doing this work together, in English.

4-Week Online Introduction to the Somatic Enneagram with Heather Brown

• November 2026: 4, 11, 18, 25 — 7.30am GMT / 6.30pm AEST / 8.30pm NZST
• January 2027: 6, 13, 20, 27 — 7.30pm GMT / 6.30am AEST / 8.30am NZST (7, 14, 21, 28 January)

Discover why the Somatic Enneagram is the missing piece in your inner journey — and how your defence system, while essential for survival, can also quietly hold you back from becoming who you were created to be. You'll leave with real practices to deepen your own somatic work, and a live taste of the method itself.

This course is also great preparation for Somatic Enneagram Modules 1–3 (details below), running face-to-face in the UK in 2027.

2027 UK and Ireland Somatic Enneagram Events

Inward Turn Advanced Retreat 1 with Marion — Leamington Spa, UK, 14–19 April Open to those who've completed SE Modules 1–5. Awakening to Radical Inclusion — a journey from self-forgetting back to self-remembering. We trace how we develop as human beings — and how we forget ourselves — through the counter-clockwise movement around the Enneagram circle, contracting a little more at each stage as we learn to survive an uncertain world. Then, at point 9, something shifts: a conscious turn into the clockwise direction, and the beginning of the Enneagram of Renewal — our ascent back to self-remembering. 

Somatic Enneagram Modules 1–3 with Marion and Heather — Birmingham, UK, 21–27 April - A deep dive into the core principles of the Somatic Enneagram method. We get into the body's natural defense mechanisms and give you practical tools to recognise, understand, and work with them — engaging mind, body, and emotion together. You'll explore the difference between your true essence and your conditioned personality, with somatic tools for navigating loss, anxiety, and trauma with more awareness, presence, and room to heal. 

Somatic Enneagram Modules 4–5 with Marion and Heather — Birmingham, UK, 19–25 October  - Module 4 is an in-depth training in recognising and releasing your type's reactive patterns through somatic awareness, so you can respond with more attunement — and support real transformation in yourself and others. Module 5 takes you through a dynamic, three-centres exploration of the Enneagram symbol itself, uncovering how your type structure was formed and helping you transform the patterns that shape your life. Open to those who've completed Modules 1–3.

Inward Turn Beginning Retreat with Marion and Heather  — Leamington Spa, UK, 27–31 October Introduction to Experiencing Wholeness — through grounding, resourcing, and reconciliation. We build automatic, conditioned reactions to the world based on our survival strategies. Using Somatic Enneagram practices, you'll learn how to interrupt those automatic responses, feel your patterns start to relax, and experience the deep calm that comes from giving equal attention to both what feels open and what feels closed and defended. As the excess energy held in the pattern discharges safely, you open more naturally to your essential nature.
