A 7-Week Course with Marion Gilbert on The Shift Network
WHEN: TUESDAYS, MAR 18–APR 29 2025
TIME: 1:00PM PDT
The 9 NeuroPathways of Your Enneagram Type
How can we learn to thrive — not just cope and manage — in extremely challenging times where so many internal and external structures are drastically changing?
My new Somatic Enneagram course, The 9 Neuropathways of Your Enneagram Type, begins tomorrow, Tuesday, March 18, at 1:00pm Pacific, is an invitation for you to learn how to use these difficult times for transformation, discover your essential qualities, and remember who you were created to be and what your deeper purpose is in the life that you live.
There is another invitation in how we can become more present and stay grounded in times of change — learning how to recognize the hidden defensive patterns that keep us locked in looking at the world from a smaller point of view.
I’ll teach you how you can begin to work with these automatic defensive reactions through a deeper understanding of your Enneagram type so you can make a free choice in how you want to respond with wisdom and clarity…
… and how you can build capacity in your neuropathways to rewire the brain and relax the unconscious reactions. Watch this video to get a sneak peak.
As we learn to stay grounded and present, we can prepare ourselves to witness life from a greater view. This practice will be a life changer that will last and transform how you see yourself, others, and the world around you.
In my life, I’ve noticed that doing these practices builds capacity so that we stay awake and receptive to reality as it is…
… don’t feel overwhelmed by all the changes, and are able to stay in the eye of the hurricane and observe how the world is spinning around. Through the Somatic Enneagram, you can experience:
- The freedom of placing your attention where you want — anywhere at any time
- Greater capacity to stay balanced and grounded and alleviate suffering with a feeling of resilience and flexibility that instills peace and gratitude for being alive
- Deeper intuition, emotional and somatic intelligence, and openness to receiving spiritual guidance
Are you ready for lasting change?
JOIN MARION starting TUES MARCH 18 as she begins to create a coherent, collective field supporting a deeper learning in the Enneagram with the Somatic Awareness method for real transformation.
From The Shift Network Team…
You’ll receive these bonus teachings just for enrolling in Somatic Enneagram™ creator Marion Gilbert’s new course, The 9 Neuropathways of Your Enneagram Type.
Inner Observer Guided Meditation
Audio Meditation by Marion Gilbert to “Receive Knowing”
Marion leads you through the practice of cultivating the Inner Observer, a heightened state of awareness that allows for “received knowing” beyond intellectual knowledge. By relaxing the mind and disengaging from the habitual lenses of perception — thoughts, emotions, and sensations — begin disidentifying with automatic survival reactions and enter a deeper, more grounded state of presence. This practice helps you objectively observe your experience and attune to subtle states of being, opening the door to spiritual awareness and intuitive insight. As the noise of ordinary consciousness recedes, connect with a profound sense of presence and spiritual nature, fostering a deeper connection to life itself.
Resilience in Challenging Times: Understanding the Somatic Lens of the Enneagram
Video Interview With Marion Gilbert
Resilience is a state of optimal wellbeing with the capacity to adapt, learn, heal, and recover from challenging and often overwhelming situations. In nine different ways, we have aptitudes and obstacles to access resilience. In this session from the Enneagram Global Summit, learn how to stay present in challenging times and be receptive to all aspects of the world and people in it. Discover how to turn attention to your reactivity, and use somatic intelligence to relax it at the root of its arising.

THE POWERFUL BENEFITS OF IN-PERSON LEARNING
We are very excited to be offering our first three foundational modules, Modules 1, 2, and 3 IN-PERSON! Led by Marion Gilbert and supported by newly certified Somatic Enneagram Facilitators, in-person modules are something that just can’t be duplicated online, on ZOOM. While we do our very best to provide optimal learning experiences while online, there is nothing that compares to the energetic support and camaraderie of group learning, side by side, across a handful of days. Opportunities for discussion, sharing, and processing with others cannot be underestimated.
These three modules, each spanning two days, will include a multitude of experiences and teachings:
- Didactic learnings of the Somatic Enneagram’s Modules 1, 2, and 3.
- Inner Practices to cultivate the Inner Observer, Grounded Presence, and Placement of Attention.
- Interactive exercises for developing received knowing, feeling, and sensing.
- Breakout groups for sharing conversation and experience.
- Didactic Somatic Enneagram: understanding type structure and our defense system.
- Integration practices and movement.
- Includes guided meditations, guided inner practices.
- Includes labyrinth walks intending to highlight something that may be hidden in our shadow in order to receive new understanding and insight.

This very special retreat features guided and personalized Somatic Enneagram practices to deepen our inner witnessing capacity and experience our true essential nature.
We will live in community at the Dromgarriff’s Silver Birch House—one of the stunning houses on this estate in South West Ireland, with spectacular views of Bantry Bay.
Sessions facilitated by Marion Gilbert will deepen our understanding and increase our capacity to experience three-centered awareness. We will work to develop the different levels of Inner Observing. We will learn to consciously work with the defense system, which contains the convertible energy for transformation.
Gurdjieff said, “Self-remembering requires conscious work and voluntary suffering.”
Experiential activities include inner practices and somatic activities to connect with body intelligence, integrating all three centers energetically. We will walk the Enneagram symbol with music and movement to sense deeply into our whole being.
The grounds are ideal for walking and introspection, journaling and reflection. Additional activities can include enjoying the sauna, swimming in the ocean, or strolling in Glengarriff Village, only minutes away.
Everyone will be guided through their own inner process, meeting you where you are, facilitated by Marion Gilbert R.P.T. Participation is limited to 19 individuals.
“Join us as we descend from the head to the heart and into the belly to witness the integration of our three centers of intelligence. As we experience that everything belongs equally in the field of awareness, we can witness the reconciling force within us and experience a transformative, more expanded view of ourselves and life.” — Marion Gilbert

What is the Somatic Enneagram Foundation Program?
it is an in depth, experiential grounding in Somatic Enneagram practice. The Foundation Program also provides the fundamentals for professional certification for those of you who want to study further and develop greater competencies.
MODULE 1: Basic Introduction to Somatic Awareness Practice (2 days)
Learn how to use our body’s intelligence to relax type structure and cultivate inner resources, enabling us to experience a more open way to meet ourselves and the world at large.
MODULE 2: A Somatic Enneagram Approach to the Defense System (2 days)
Learn how to recognize the defense mechanisms somatically —at the point of arising—so that we can begin to free ourselves from on-automatic reactions to life and its challenges.
MODULE 3: Experiencing Essence and the Survival Strategies of Type (2 days)
Learn how to distinguish the experience of essence from the strategies of Enneagram type, enabling access and a deeper connection to the qualities of our essential self.
Come and join us as we deepen our awareness of how and why we react as we do and where this is experienced in the body. By listening to the body, we can access our highly conditioned patterns at their roots, and free ourselves from automatically following these impulses. We gain greater resilience and a balanced, grounded platform of receptivity where we can experience our lives from present moment awareness.” — Marion Gilbert

WHEN: NOV 7-10, 2025
WHERE: Denmark | Rødvig Kro og Badehotel: www.roedvigkro.dk
PRESENTERS: Karina Dahlmann and Marion Gilbert
This is a special four-days, intensive program featuring a selected group of leaders that can explore together, share experiences, have support, and grow together. As a leader in today’s world, one needs an honest, emotionally supportive place and community to safely explore doubts and fears, challenges and visions, and to find refuge in reflection and contemplation in order to be the best leader one can be.
Using the Enneagram System as a foundational base, discover your essential strengths, unknown blind spots, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your capacities, and your leadership style.
Leaders often find themselves alone at the top, faced with many challenges that are unique to their position, in roles that others greatly depend on. Leaders comes in all shapes and sizes, but they require a type of stamina, resilience, and intrapersonal resolve that can both bear the burden of immense responsibility and the talent for inspiring others.
Building unique communities where leaders can come together to fortify their skills and talents is part of this initiative. A leadership community where openness, confidentiality, and support for one another can be trusted and leaned into builds the communities of tomorrow and the corporations of the next generations.
Register today! Become a part of global network initiatives to build and nurture conscious leaders!

What is Our Capacity?
The “Capacity” for staying present to what is determines how integration can occur. Capacity is developed through witnessing the enactment of the third force of creation: The reconciling force.
The receptive force of creation (the first force), and reactive force of creation (the second force), are balanced and intrinsically connected by a third force of creation called the reconciling force.
