Embodiment Program for Practitioners

Six Weeks of Somatic Enneagram Healing November 2025

You speak the Enneagram, now learn to feel it—in fascia, breath, and nervous-system tone—so you can help clients shift deeper than talk alone ever allows

  • Map each type’s survival tilt (fight · flight · freeze · fawn)

  • Reclaim the missing medicine: the felt sense of every type’s essence.

  • Blend polyvagal science, Somatic Experiencing, and contemplative practice without drowning in theory.

  • Leave with somatic tools you can weave into sessions tomorrow morning.

Who This Is For

  • Therapists, coaches, bodyworkers, spiritual directors, and facilitators who know the Enneagram intellectually and want an embodied, clinical, and practical approach.

  • Practitioners ready to integrate nervous-system literacy and essence work into sessions—without turning every insight into another head-heavy concept.

Testimonials

  • The Essence tradition brings clarity that rejuvenates the Enneagram and can provide the liberating reminder that we are fully alive.

    —Andrew Florence, Director of Experiential Learning

  • Provides tangible steps on how to reawaken, embrace, and embody our core essence as well as the good medicine of all nine essences. What a gift it is to be told that those qualities exist within each of us, that they never left, and that we can find our way back to them.

    —Ann Crews, Holistic Psychotherapist

  • You will learn to recognize each type readily, and be able to decipher the why behind the behavior in others. The guided meditations and reflections are both luxurious and relaxing. I didn’t want them to end! Indulge yourself – you won’t be sorry!

    —Jean Shrimp, Enneagram Enthusiast

  • As you become more attuned to what the essence feels like, you can call it up more frequently when you find yourself falling back into unhelpful patterns. Essence feels grounded, empowering, and vibrant. It's good for our emotional health as well as our physical health and relationships. It can be relaxing and fun and I highly recommend it.

    —Lynn Niederlitz, Educational Consultant

  • It stands out as a unique and uplifting guide, shedding light on the timeless wisdom of this mysterious, ancient tool in a way that is both enriching and transformative.
