Somatic Enneagram Training and Certification Program
by Marion Gilbert, R.P.T.
The Somatic Enneagram Training and Certification Program is an in-depth, five modules program coupled with coaching and mentorship that trains individuals how to work comprehensively and transformatively with the nine personality structures of the Enneagram system and one’s own and others’ particular somatic reactivity, sensate awareness, and felt-sense intelligence. Studying the Enneagram system theoretically is where we all begin. Uncovering essence though requires recognition and deconstruction of the obscurations created by our identification with only a partial view of reality. The root of our patterns arises from our somatic type structure, which is in charge of our survival and well-being. The arising creates cognitive, emotional, and somatic distress whenever danger is present or perceived. However, with an inward turn of attention, we can metabolize our type’s reactivity at the root of the arising of our patterns, giving us the freedom to choose a conscious response and become receptive to a greater reality.The Somatic Enneagram is the missing piece to traditional Enneagram study and the crucible for deep personal transformation.
Specific competencies attained across the training program and the follow-on mentoring program will be evaluated in order to receive certification as a Somatic Enneagram Certified Facilitator.“To be with the triggers of our type without becoming reactive is the promise of this work.” — Marion Gilbert
