GROWING OURSELVES IN HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS | MARCH 16-17, 2012 | NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA | For many of us understanding why relationships work or don’t work is a mystery. We find ourselves repeating patterns that limit our full relational potential. The emotional maturity necessary for our primary relationships is cultivated by our willingness to be aware, honest, and intimate with ourselves. Being available and present to self allows our heart to open. Healthy relationships emerge when we can be present with what is in ourselves and in the other. We can choose to be receptive not reactive, and offer curiosity rather than judgment.

During this workshop, we’ll explore the ways that the Enneagram system can be applied to heal and to strengthen our primary relationships. The Enneagram will guide us as we learn:
• our focus of attention and its effect in relationships
• personal reactivity and ways we overprotect our hearts
• key issues and vulnerabilities
• gifts of our personality for developing healthy relations

Through practical exercises, discussion, presentation, and panels in the Narrative Tradition, where you'll witness the Enneagram types speaking for themselves, participants will consider the question, “What is my path in developing receptivity to this other as I relate from the gold of who I am?”

This workshop will offer a safe and receptive community that honors diversity in relationships. A working knowledge of the Enneagram will be useful in participating in this workshops.
