Maura Amelia Bonanno

Dear Maura, I really want to thank you for the process of evolution or rather of awareness that has moved in me since I began to seriously delve into the study of the Enneagram which I now consider a precious guide for reading my own and other people's mechanisms. I discovered myself much more understanding and truly compassionate when observing the automatic reactions that I have and that the people I relate have, due both to type but very much to the dominant and neglected instincts. Understanding that we are all equally on the same boat with our typical neuroses made me stay in the group without judgment and with full acceptance, enjoying the openness and generosity of others. I also had a lot of fun.

The Enneagram is for me a continuous revelation and discovery at the same time. During the course I found the answers to the many doubts I had after my self-studying it. It was fascinating to discover that there is much more than what can be found on the internet or in the many books designed only to give superficial descriptions of the Types. In this course I found method, knowledge and above all the certainty that with the Enneagram map I will be a better Coach.

I approached the world of the Enneagram because I often heard about it here and there, sometimes with enthusiasm, other times with skepticism. I signed up for one of the many Facebook groups, but right from the start the impression was that of "they're crazy here!". By chance I found a post in which Maura presented her workshop on the Enneagram fundamentals and I signed up. I immediately understood that there was a different air, a different approach, and I liked it straight away. Continuing, I had confirmation of how Maura is the bearer of an important and necessary underlying message when approaching models of human exploration, which will impact our way of seeing ourselves and others and of relating to each other. Maura guides towards great attention and profound respect for others, she possesses such preparation as to give the tools to move by sight in this fascinating and complex model that attempts to reveal a bit of the human mystery. She leads the group with tact and experience, she is prepared, I have already signed up for another module and at the moment she is the only person I want to continue my journey of knowledge.

Second workshop completed, we explored the topic of typing in depth. The more I continue, the more I realize how complex this model is, but thanks to Maura and her approach I am not scared, on the contrary, I am more and more fascinated by it. Each time one more piece of this moving mosaic, a veil that falls, a step towards knowledge, and with Maura I feel safe because he leads with patience, competence, love for what he does.

Following the course on Instinctive Variatants was an opportunity for a further turning point in my personal and professional journey. Maura Amelia Bonanno has an approach that knows how to go in depth and offers views from multiple perspectives. Precisely for this reason it helps to broaden ideas, connections and stimuli to observe and observe ourselves. Very useful on both a personal and professional level. Thank you for your generosity and competence.

I had a very good time, and I especially admired the way in which the interventions were managed: each participant had their own space, their own time in which to be listened to, the possibility of receiving a clarification, or even a discussion, a debate, an exchange of different ideas, which were welcomed and respected even though they had not always been shared. The language was sometime complex, technical, perhaps difficult at times, but always clear, precise and profound. Not the entire topic has been unraveled, but I welcome the invitation to delve deeper on our own, quantity does not make quality and the demonstration of this are those few seeds that have been planted which have been fruitful to say the least.

I met for the first time Maura speaking at an Enneagram presentation and I was immediately amazed by her cultural background, therefore, despite knowing nothing about the topic and urged by my wife, I decided to participate in a day entirely focused on the Enneagram. It was a fantastic experience. I am at the beginning of the journey regarding personal growth and therefore I am always amazed when I find answers to existential questions that I ask myself and that we have all always asked ourselves. In one day I received so many answers, it's a very important job to learn and to relate to ourselves and others. Thank you Maura for being able to open my mind and give me the opportunity to enrich it. The day left me full of positive energy and the desire to learn new things, but above all I learned to look at myself with different eyes.

I have attended an introductory course on the Enneagram with Maura in June 2022. It was a wonderful day, led by the very knowledgeable Maura, who has a huge wealth of knowledge on the Enneagram and much more. I went deep inside myself to discover my personality, and in just one day I learned a lot and managed to shed light, through the work done, on my strengths and weaknesses. I find this path fascinating and useful for my constant search for balance and to understand how to manifest my best life. Thank you Maura for accompanying me on this journey, you managed to make us work on our identity without ever making us forget that we were a group. At the end of the course I was happy and I wished the day would never end. I believe that this map and method are useful for my personal growth, thank you very much for introducing me into the Enneagram.

I encountered the Enneagram a few years ago, read some books and participated in interesting seminars. However, I had been stuck on this front for a long time. I couldn't see - my limitation - a possibility of growth in the Enneagram, or the map to be really useful. It seemed to me that all the work was reduced to finding confirmation that I had put myself in the right box. Too uninteresting for me. It seemed to me that the types were simple masks, although with some possible variations on the theme, with which to passionately identify, almost like a fan base. Of course I knew this couldn't be the case and yet I had temporarily put the matter aside. Even reading Maura Amelia's book wasn't enough to get me out of this stagnation. In the course on the Defensive System which I attended with Maura Amelia, I felt the added value and stimulation of a group whose members, evidently accustomed to working on themselves and observing their own dynamics, brought invaluable contributions. Thanks then to her in-depth knowledge, her approach, her aptitude for entering into details and expanding them, thanks to the fact that for her no word goes unnoticed, her ability to open worlds of understanding even starting from reading our descriptions of simple behaviors, I was finally able to understand and appreciate the dynamism and three-dimensionality of the Enneagram with the evolutionary potential it brings. In terms of Defence System and its components for example, I now have a lot of material to work with.
Nel corso sul Sistema Difensivo cui ho partecipato con Maura Amelia ho sentito tanto il valore aggiunto e lo stimolo di un gruppo i cui componenti, evidentemente abituati al lavoro su di sé e all’osservazione delle proprie dinamiche, hanno portato preziosissimi contributi.
Grazie poi alla sua conoscenza approfondita, al suo approccio, alla sua attitudine a entrare nei dettagli ed espanderli, grazie al fatto che per lei nessuna parola passa inosservata, alla sua capacità di aprire mondi di comprensione anche partendo dalla lettura delle nostre descrizioni di “semplici” comportamenti, ho potuto finalmente capire e apprezzare la dinamicità e la tridimensionalità dell’Enneagramma con il potenziale evolutivo che porta. Nel merito dei meccanismi di difesa e delle sue componenti per esempio, adesso ho tanto materiale su cui lavorare.

Thank you Amelia for the intriguing, profoundly inspiring journey into the Enneagram. I begin to glimpse not only the individual aspects, but the structure that supports them. I am grateful for the ability you have to let everything that happens inside us take place. I'm even hungrier. In the meantime, I let the work done sit comfortably inside me.

I have been studying the Enneagram for over 15 years. Maura is the most competent person I have ever met, certainly unique in Italy. She knows this subject deeply and has the rare ability to make it very clear without losing its depth and to make it usable in everyday life. The Riso-Hudson approach is an added value that gives to the map the value of being a tool that can be used much more as an evolutionary map rather than being almost exclusively a cognitive map. This is also why I found it extraordinarily useful in my journey of inner research. The "Nine Paths of Liberation" course has also added a lot of depth, intelligence and flexibility to my way of working with the Enneagram. I hope to have more experiences like this with her.
L’approccio di Riso-Hudson è un valore aggiunto che dà al suo metodo valenza di strumento molto più utilizzabile come mappa evolutiva piuttosto che appiattirsi quasi esclusivamente a mappa conoscitiva.
Anche per questo la ho trovata straordinariamente utile nel mio percorso di ricerca interiore.
Il corso “Nove sentieri di liberazione” ha aggiunto anche tanto spessore, intelligenza e flessibilità al mio modo di lavorare con l’ Enneagramma.
Spero di poter fare altre esperienze del genere con lei.

Thank you Maura Amelia for this course in which you generously shared your profound knowledge of the Enneagram. In these meetings you allowed us to acquire, through practice and example, greater awareness on the journey towards the paths of liberation. See you soon.

To follow your workshops is always an adventure full of stimuli, food for thought and opportunities for space. This in particular one nourished me with hope of freedom. I thank you and I am grateful for having met you. You are always intense, clear, lucid in your taking us to territories that every time add knowledge and soul to everyone's path. Thanks again.

I attended the online course "Growing with the Enneagram - The Nine Paths" to deepen my knowledge of this splendid vision of the nuances of personality. The course is structured in a very free way, there is space for very important sharing from which very interesting ideas can be drawn regarding how the different types taken into consideration act, think and get emotional. Despite the distance, a beautiful group harmony is created, we get to know each other and we learn something from everyone. On a personal level, this course allowed me to get to know myself better, to understand all the games and automatisms operated by my Type and begin to understand others much better. The thing I liked most is that we saw both the most beautiful qualities and the worst sides of all Types, through fears, passions and fixations, which helped us understand that there are no better or worse ones but just differences. I decided to delve deeper into this topic because even just after this course, I feel much richer. Thanks Maura.
Il corso è strutturato in modo molto libero, c’è spazio per delle importantissime condivisioni da cui si traggono degli spunti molto interessanti rispetto a come agiscono, pensano e si emozionano i diversi tipi presi in considerazione. Nonostante la lontananza, si crea una bellissima armonia di gruppo, ci si conosce e da tutti si impara qualcosa.
A livello personale, questo corso mi ha permesso di conoscermi meglio, di capire tutti i “giochetti” e gli automatismi azionati dal mio Tipo e ho iniziato a comprendere molto meglio gli altri. La cosa che mi è piaciuta di più è che di tutti i Tipi abbiamo visto sia le qualità più belle che i lati peggiori, passando per le paure, le passioni e le fissazioni, il che ha aiutato a capire che non esistono tipi migliori o peggiori ma solamente tipi diversi.
Ho deciso di approfondire questo argomento perché anche solo dopo questo corso, mi sento molto più ricca. Grazie Maura.

I want to thank you very much for the workshop. It allowed me, through group work structured over a period of 11 weeks, to observe all the points I live with through a real internal laboratory and appreciate their expression also in the members of the group. This was possible thanks to a gradual sedimentation of concepts and points of view. I got rid of the rigidities I had and I resolved some confusions by understanding the Levels of Development. I believe that the course was linear and capable of maintaining high attention and interest in every phase. With pleasure I am preparing to finish your fantastic book, which only lacks not containing all the material provided in the course handout.

I followed with great interest the course "Growing with the Enneagram, the Nine Paths" led by Maura Amelia Bonanno. I was very involved in the style of the course based on dialogue, on mutual listening and on the gradual deepening of the Enneagram. The themes are very engaging. With Maura I truly understood what it means to not stop at stereotypes but above all I had the opportunity to look inside myself and begin a positive path of personal growth and knowledge of myself and others.

I signed up for the course on Defensive Systems instinctively and this allowed me to participate in this well-structured mini-course to learn and understand on my own, with direct experiences, not at all theoretical. Very useful to me as I'm a mental person. Thanks to Maura for her effectiveness and delicacy.

The courses with Maura were for me a universal approach to knowing this fabulous map that is the Enneagram. In addition to the profound knowledge given with great presence, generosity and sharing in the teaching part, I really appreciated the tools in the workshops which, even if online, helped me a lot to understand some very obscure aspects of myself and start a path of acceptance and awareness . With gratitude.

By chance I heard about the Enneagram, about Maura Amelia Bonanno and her training course and I like to think that nothing happens by chance. I have always thought of something more to discover, to understand, to feel. I have always thought that we are more than we are, I have always thought. In these appointments I found listening, individual and shared space, I gave voice to my thoughts and I was able to see that they are not that anomalous after all. The contents covered were presented clearly and responded coherently and completely to the set objectives. I have always seen life as a journey and I think no other words are needed to say how much value this course may have generated in me given that one definition of the Enneagram is precisely that of a map.
Ho sempre visto la vita come un viaggio e credo non occorrano altre parole per dire quanto valore possa aver generato in me questo corso visto che una definizione di Enneagramma è proprio quella di mappa.

I signed up for this Enneagram course without knowing much about this approach to self-knowledge. I found in Maura an attentive, prepared and capable guide. I received numerous ideas to work on myself and increase my awareness. For me, being able to work in a group amplified and made the information more meaningful. Thank you Maura.

In addition to having a very in-depth knowledge of the Enneagram, Maura Amelia in her workshops manages to interpret it and propose the right nuance to each of the participants. Even more than a workshop, the beginning of a journey. I feel like thanking her.

When taking lessons with Maura Amelia you really feel that she is a teacher who knows her subject thoroughly and is up to date on the latest developments. To this vast experience she adds linguistic and expository clarity skills which make her courses pleasant to follow as well as useful.

Un approche originale qui met en évidence la fluidité de l’Enneagramme sans confusion ni syncrétisme. Un approche qui laisse la place au doute comme un espace ou on peut avancer.

Un approche originale qui met en évidence la fluidité de l’Enneagramme sans confusion ni syncrétisme. Un approche qui laisse la place au doute comme un espace ou on peut avancer. An original approach that highlights the fluidity of the Enneagram without confusion or syncretism. An approach that leaves room for doubt as a space in which to advance.

Maura is an expert guide in adventurous exploration of the Enneagram.

Finally a workshop on the Enneagram that values the uniqueness and not the standardization of types.

I took the workshop "Enneagram-The Fundamentals" with Maura and I was particularly impressed by the richness of the contents and her way of introducing the subject. It was all very clear to me and aroused great curiosity in me to continue learning more. In particular, I appreciated Maura's integrated approach, as she also has other backgrounds and is able to teach in a very clear way, creating multiple connections. Despite being an expert teacher, she does not return her knowledge as absolute truth, but rather insists on the importance of training the listening, relating and non-judgment for those who use this tool. A great stimulus to growth. I highly recommend it!

I found the workshop very interesting and stimulating, because I was finally provided with concrete and pragmatic answers and indications for the interpretation of the Enneagram as a tool for growth and transformation. As far as I'm concerned, without the contents of this course, knowledge of the Enneagram risked remaining limited to a tool for understanding myself and the people I deal with, without that breakthrough which at a certain moment becomes urgent in order to follow up on the knowledge acquired. Now I feel like I know a very clear and concrete path for my growth and to support those who are interested in an evolutionary path.

A few weeks have passed since the "Ennagram and Relationships" workshop andas the day goes by I realize that I find myself recovering phrases or concepts from what Maura so clearly described to us. I happen to think about types, more lightly than in search of what the type is. I'm also hooked on how types fit together with instincts. And how and how high the Level of Development is. And finally how all this goes together with the energy that each of us possesses and then uses - two very different things!. I believe that the strength of the workshop is this impact on my daily life! Then if they are roses... they will bloom!
Mi capita di pensare ai tipi, più con leggerezza che non alla ricerca di quale sia il ‘tipo’. Sono agganciata anche da come i tipi si incastrano con gli istinti. E da come e quanto sia alto il livello di consapevolezza. Ed infine da come tutto questo si sposi con l’energia che ciascuno di noi possiede e poi usa (due cose molto diverse!). Credo che la forza del corso sia questa ricaduta nella mia quotidianità! Poi se son rose…fioriranno!

I attended the "Enneagram and relationships" workshop on the advice of a counselor friend, who knew my family relationship difficulties at that time. I accepted the suggestion out of curiosity, albeit with a slight fear of a drift towards new age themes, and I must say that the workshop exceeded my best expectations. The tool is not for everyone, as in my opinion it is necessary to have already participated to personal development paths, but it is very powerful and personally it was much more useful to me than the psychotherapy sessions used this year. Maura Amelia Bonanno conducts the work in an extremely effective and serious way, with a great ability to listen empathically but never to merge, always maintaining high professionalism in managing dynamics that are so difficult to deal with. I absolutely intend to attend the subsequent workshops because the added value brought to awareness towards myself and those close to me was remarkable.
Maura Amelia Bonanno conduce i lavori in modo estremamente efficace e serio, con una grande capacità di ascolto empatico ma mai di fusione, mantenendo sempre un’alta professionalità nella conduzioni di dinamiche così difficili da affrontare. Ho assoluta intenzione di frequentare anche i corsi successivi perché il valore aggiunto portato alla consapevolezza nei riguardi di me stessa e di chi mi sta vicino é stato notevole.

The ''Instinctive Variants'' course turned out to be a pleasant surprise for its ability to show an entry point to the Ennegram tool that was new and intense for me. Working on the instincts has allowed important understandings of myself to emerge and to touch very deeply on automatisms and ways of seeing the world that I took for granted.
It is a work that I recommend both to those who do not yet have experience of Ennegram, because it is extraordinarily effective and important even when done by itself, and to those, like me, who already have experience of Ennegram, because it has allowed me to see the tool in a new, surprisingly profound, helping to free me in part from preconceptions and caricaturizations of types and instincts, the trap into which individual and theoretical study risks making me fall and into which group work and the teaching method of the course have proved invaluable .

The "Instinctive Variants" workshop was a unique and engaging experience for the enrichment of my knowledge of the Enneagram and for the real and immediate impact it had on my life. From the cognitive point of view of the Enneagram tool, it made a valuable contribution due to Maura's expertise on the topic and teaching style, which integrates and completes the program with the wealth of his knowledge. From a personal point of view, her intuitions and the support of the group did the rest. I really appreciate the way in which Maura does not impose his opinion, but accompanies you throughout the time spent together, both in the classroom and during breaks, leading you to discover the parts of yourself that are still hidden, with patience and without judgement.
A positive experience that I highly recommend to anyone who wishes to make the Enneagram, as well as a subject of study, a tool for real personal growth.

The online course with Maura was informative, very enjoyable and intriguing. Maura has a knack for explaining simply, directly and clearly and the hours together went by quickly. The group was very loose and Maura was able to support everyone and make us feel comfortable. Thank you so much Maura.

Intrigued by the power that intuitions have had in my life so far, I approached the course as a neophyte. I'm thrilled about it. Thanks to Maura's professionalism, this short course offered numerous ideas for inner research and improvement of my perceptive potential. The themes are treated with fluidity and effectiveness of language, accessible to everyone, each at their own level of awareness. Interaction with the group is fun and constructive. I recommend it to all the curious, the calm, the restless, the shy and the extroverted, and above all to those who want to deepen their self-knowledge, the Enneagram is truly a complete and powerful tool.

The experience of this workshop was very enriching, because:
- the knowledge of the Levels of development is important, but it is not easy to find sources or trained speakers, therefore I dare to say that the proposal is unique;
- the method, both theoretical and based on interpersonal and group work, is effective;
- the location promotes the peace necessary for listening and interaction between people.
Thanks again.

Personally, I found this recently completed path particularly interesting as it allowed me to experience the Enneagram from the inside and not from the outside. This was possible because in the journey regarding the Levels of Development the Enneagram is experienced as if it were in 3D. How to enter in their ladder you can move up and down but also sideways, passing, within the Levels and the Enneagram, between one type and another depending on which strengths and which weaknesses are and have been present and have been taking place in life.
This experimentation allows - and I would say guarantees - to observe the Enneagram not as an excessive search, sometimes neurotic for some, of oneself and of one's place in one's life.
This thanks, I'm sure, to Maura's value and knowledge of the topic and how it is therefore proposed and taught.

Through the workshopI had the opportunity to increase my knowledge and above all to re-know parts of myself and mechanisms of how I function through practice. In particular, I experienced for the first time that I am able to feel and think at the same time and when this happens I feel very good. This is my personal thank you to you.

The relationship workshop opened new windows and put new pieces to a puzzle that represents me and that I have been trying to get to know better for some time through the Enneagram with the lively hope of moving increasingly towards a direction of growth. It was a significant experience of meeting, listening, reflecting accompanied by Maura's accuracy and careful preparation. The presence of other people, as always, enriches through the exchange of content, emotions and sharing. Looking inside is not an easy experience, as it is confronting with one's own limits and above all with what conditions our dear, precious and often very painful relationships. The Enneagram offers us rich and significant interpretations and it is in this direction that I wish to continue walking to feel better about myself and others.

The thing I feel like saying about my two days is certainly this feeling of serenity and non-judgment. It is certainly intrinsic to the work on the Enneagram to understand that each person starts from a particular distortion of reality and for this very reason that we are all in the same boat, but I also believe that the person who has the reins in groups like these must work with non-judgment so as not to interfere with the growth of each participant. So I thank Maura for being a guide among us.

The last workshop on Instincts was the most beautiful and I hope, because a lot depends on me, the most productive of those I have followed so far. I admired your mastery in explaining the role of instincts in a very clear, very structured way. It was very enlightening for me as well as a very new approach. But what was most notable was the feeling of participation I had. Usually there is always a distance between me and others, between me and a group and even between me and myself, instead the homogeneity of the group really welcomed me. Thank you.

The last weekend I experienced the discovery of the Enneagram under your enlightened, clear, firm and loving guidance as a great gift.. The impact was very intense, at times I felt almost overwhelmed by the amount of knowledge but at the same time fascinated by the coherence and logic of the system. By now I clearly need to enrich and deepen my knowledge and it will be a joy to progress on this new path. From the first day of returning to normal life I perceived very small changes: I expressed myself spontaneously and freely with ease without the restraint and prudence I usually have. The good thing is that I didn't cause any tension or displeasure around me but I felt the satisfaction of having slightly corrected my traditionally too restrained attitude. For another person these would be insignificant details but for me it is an achievement and I am infinitely grateful to you for having opened up this perspective to me which is undoubtedly destined to bring about many other changes. Surely, to the extent possible, I will participate in other seminars to find support and stimulation on my growth path and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you have given me and will give me again.

I followed your course with great interest and the very different approach was enriching for me. Certainly not simple, due to my extremely theoretical and didactic approach, which I recognize is my limitation.
The possibility of looking at the Enneagram at 360° and therefore finding my behaviours, actions, fears and passions in each of the 9 types rather than only in those strictly correlated and connected to my type, has allowed and allows me to answer many questions so far remained dissatisfied. It is definitely another approach, another way of dressing the Enneagram, of looking into myself. I'm grateful to you. Precisely because it generates more or less marked conflicts, I like to interpret this holistic vision as a sort of message. Looking inside myself, knowing that part of me that is not only and purely rational. Therefore you will see me soon at other Enneagram courses.
I don't know if what I wrote is worth sharing, as I only expressed a personal thought on what your teaching, your person and the topic aroused in me. Thanks again

I really appreciated the way in which the theory was exposed: clear and rich. For me, however, the body's responses are always of great importance. And even in this workshop there was no shortage of proposals for making the body speak. I believe that emotions are connected to character defenses and therefore can represent a significant signal. This work stimulated me to reflect on how my way of following instincts has changed over the course of my life. How they were repressed. It's curious to note that the first one I gave, with difficulty, freedom to, was sexual/attraction. And it is pleasant for me to discover that with the progressive liberation of this one the other two have also taken courage. I used the word freedom because in fact what gave me strength to loosen the grip of repression was the question "why not?" that from time to time, when an experience that intrigued me was proposed, I would almost challenge myself. For me, working on instincts was not so much about discovering the neglected one as it was about shedding light on what holds them back. Yes, because I realize that there is a little voice that pulls in the opposite direction for all three, telling them different things to each one as if it knows what their weaknesses are. I have to say that every time I feel an unpleasant sensation when faced with a choice, there is the hand of this voice that tries to direct my actions by bringing up my passion. What passion suggests is damned easy to put into practice.

Yes, I was very happy with the experience! As I mentioned to everyone in the group, for me experiential knowledge is my favorite both for the easier understanding itself and because it opens me up to unexpected and unpredictable paths. It introduced me to a new way of looking at my relationship and who I love. I really like how you explain the Enneagram because after all I'm self-taught but I'm always looking for masters in the specific field and I find your workshop very useful. In the last two days I have had the experience with two patients that having the right words in my mouth make it easier to open important doors. Here I am, at that level of need and I find this very clear in you without it becoming schematic and reductive. The second aspect that is very useful to me, more on a personal level, is body work. I really need and like to feel in the body, it's a path that facilitates my understanding.

I returned home with a great inner peace never found before. I kept it for a long time and now I know where I want to go. It's a beginning.
I returned home with a great inner peace never found before. I kept it for a long time and now I know where I want to go. It's a beginning. I found the training to be of great quality and great listening from Maura. Very great kindness too. She was not giving training, she was with us in the training. The difference is enormous. The workshop was very varied which greatly helps with attention. The choice of music and the dancing really added a lot. This allowed us a bodily understanding of the different types. And feel ourselves (our type) too.
My vision of the Enneagram has changed. It is more positive. Thank you Maura for this openness to the world and to human beings.

For several years I have been wrong about my type. This workshop allowed me to see things more clearly and to finally recognize myself as the right type. It was during a physical exercise that I was able to feel that there was something to see. Then I was able to understand thanks to this subtle and evolving reading of the Enneagram that is the Riso-Hudson approach and that Maura communicated to me during these four days, putting all her presence, her depth and her willingness. Many things are becoming clearer to me.
Maura, I really thank you, you gave me a very beautiful gift!

I was really touched by these 4 days we spent together. Doors opened within me. I feel inhabited by what we experienced, what you transmitted to us, both on the level of knowledge and on the physical level. I became aware of how much my body was imbued with my experiences and my feelings.
I barely knew the Enneagram before the training and I am really happy to have been able to enter it through this approach linked on the one hand to bodily movements and on the other hand to levels of consciousness. I feel like I was very lucky to have received training of this dimension from the outset!
I am grateful to you for leading me to contact the childlike soul within me. It was an intense moment.
It seems to me that the Enneagram is a part of me now. I often observe myself and break down the mechanisms that have been moving me for so long. I am really eager to know more and am starting to read books that I understand now that I have followed your training.
I really appreciated your respectful approach, your knowledge, and the sharing of your experiences. I continue on my way, step by step.

The workshop "The Nine Types" has been enlightening for me. A new light not so much on the world but in the very eyes of those who look at it. It's a bit as if he changed the shade of the lenses through which I see. It allowed me to understand how the Enneagram can be a tool as precise as it is universally applicable for a profound understanding of oneself and others.
A true revelation was then discovering through exercises, music and dance, that this understanding is not only in the mind, but also in the body and the heart. Feeling what I gradually learned during these four days of workshop was an epiphany that rooted this precious experience deeply.
The workshop "The arrows" allowed me not only to deepen the knowledge of myself and others, but also to understand how to use this precious tool for my personal and spiritual growth. Often we know, or foresee, what we need to work on, but we rarely know how to do it and from where to start. This workshop put the game back in my hands. Now it's up to me to play.

For me, the work with the body was very important to experience what the word presence means. It is a state to which you have led us through various ways. I consider having experienced it - even if not continuously, but in flashes - a fundamental contribution to understanding what we are talking about, the fundamental starting point for reaching a state of awareness.
