The Enneagram—Essence and Mask
For millennia, a mysterious nine-pointed symbol has fascinated people. A symbol that allows us to look beyond the visible patterns of life:
The Enneagram—a circle with nine points representing fundamental human character types, connected by lines that follow an astonishing mathematical order and bridge philosophical and spiritual wisdom traditions.
It helps you better recognize which inner patterns drive you, which strengths you naturally possess, and which automatic reactions come into play especially under pressure. The connecting lines show you possible paths of development: how you can break free from burdensome habits, tap into new ways of acting, and discover new aspects of your potential.
Why is it sometimes so difficult for us to recognize our own patterns and those of others?
Because what shapes us most deeply is usually invisible to us. Our familiar ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving occur so automatically that we consider them “normal.” The Enneagram makes these invisible inner programs understandable. It shows you why, in certain situations, you might react in a particularly performance-oriented, critical, conformist, reserved, controlling, or conflict-averse way—and why other people act completely differently from you.
This not only deepens your understanding of yourself but also enhances your ability to understand relationships and human dynamics more clearly.
Suddenly, behaviors that previously frustrated you, held you back, or drained your energy become understandable. Why does a colleague react so sensitively to criticism? Why does my partner suddenly pull away just when I’m longing for closeness and a clarifying conversation? Why do I say “yes” even though I’m actually exhausted and need a clear “no”?
Get to know yourself beyond your fixed patterns and discover the freedom and vitality that can emerge within yourself and in your relationships.
💛 What if you could recognize the unconscious patterns that continue to shape your thoughts, feelings, and actions to this day?
💛 What if you could understand why you react in similar ways time and again in certain situations—even though you actually want to act differently?
💛 What if you could let go of old roles, defense mechanisms, and inner drivers, and relate to yourself with greater clarity, compassion, and freedom?
💛 What if a deeper understanding of yourself and others could lead to more fulfilling relationships?
In this seminar, you’ll discover which early experiences and influences have shaped your personal patterns. You’ll recognize the inner patterns behind your behavior: those automatic strategies you use to seek recognition, achieve success, maintain harmony, gain control, or protect yourself from vulnerability.
In a mindful, vibrant, and profound space, you’ll have the opportunity to break free from these patterns.
The Glögglhof is a charming castle at the foot of the Eisenerz Alps, nestled in the middle of a one-hectare garden with mature trees. From here, you’ll take home new experiences and tried-and-true exercises that will help you find a new sense of stability in your daily life.
We look forward to spending some wonderful days with you!
Warm regards, Sonja and Nishkam
