Exploration of the Self to the Self with the Enneagram
“We don’t see things as they are…we see things as we are.”
Anais Nin
The Enneagram is about people — how we are the same, how we are different, what makes us tick.
It presents a system of psychology that describes nine core personality styles reflecting our inner motivations, thought patterns and behaviours.
This 3-hour workshop is an ecxploration to
- Uncover our own core personality structure.
- Discover how others see us through their lens of personality.
- Explore using the map of the Enneagram how to recognise our default patterns and how and when to access the strengths of the other personalities structures.
- Share through small group discussion how to become more aware and understanding of others.
- Grow and develop tools to step out of self-limiting beliefs.
This workshop is both a great introduction to this beautiful and insightful system, as well as a deeper dive for those with some understanding already.
What past participants are saying:
“This workshop was like a key to the door of myself… Observing rather than just going into old patterns.”
“I loved the small group sharing; it was so revealing into how others see and respond to the same situation.”
“This workshop went so much deeper than other personality systems I’ve looked at”.
“I learnt so much about myself and am eager to explore more about the Enneagram to understand those I sometimes struggle to understand.”
Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a cushion or rug to sit/lie upon.
Chairs are also provided.

Brain Science Yoga Healthy Ageing
I’m thrilled to be co facilitating this engaging and informative half-day workshop with ‘Healthy Brain and Healthy Aging Coach’, Lyn Haffenden of The Wise Wellness Coach
After navigating through the stages of perimenopause and menopause, I was left wondering ‘What now?’
I met Lyn at a Yoga and Neuroscience workshop, and we quickly realised we were on the same path. When I heard her story and discovered her background in brain health for healthy ageing, I was interested. Combining Lyn’s expertise and my knowledge and experience in offering yoga for healthy ageing and trauma informed practices for mental health, this workshop was created.
During this half day workshop, you will discover, learn and experience what you can do as a woman to be well, stay well and live a life you love in your 50’s and beyond.
