The Somatic Enneagram is an approach for working with our type structure as it shows up in the body. Rather than being continuously triggered by the “no-go” areas that our type structure fears, we can learn techniques to gently come alongside parts of ourselves we have long avoided.
Through this, we can begin to free ourselves from automatically re-enacting our type patterns — over and over again.
The methodology was developed by Marion Gilbert, who brings together 40 years of experience as a physical therapist with her studies of Gurdjieff, Vajrayana Buddhism,
We think about our Type. We recognise our patterns intellectually. We understand the map — in theory.
But type structure does not live in the mind alone. It lives in the body — in held tensions, automatic reactions, and the physical signatures of our adaptive strategies.
The Somatic Enneagram, developed by Marion Gilbert, offers a way of working with Type as it actually shows up: somatically, relationally, and experientially.
The workshop will be experiential and interactive. You will encounter the theories that underpin the Somatic Enneagram approach, and experience practices you can take home for yourself and use with your clients.
• An introduction to the Somatic Enneagram — the theory, the methodology, and the framework developed by Marion Gilbert
• Experiential practices you can use personally and take into your client work
• An understanding of how type structure shows up in the body — in sensation, posture, breath, and emotional tone
• A trauma-informed approach to working with type patterns — gently, without shame, and with genuine compassion
• Connection with a community of practitioners who take this work seriously
This event is open to all — Enneagram enthusiasts, therapists, coaches, and anyone with a serious interest in this work. Whether you are new to the Enneagram or have worked with it for years, this is a rare opportunity to encounter it in a new register.
Places are limited. Express your interest now and we will be in touch with registration details.
