Ego to Essence

Deepening Connection with your Divine Essence through the Enneagram

In this two day event you discover yourself in a whole new way. First you will uncover the limiting core beliefs, hidden emotional triggers, and blind spots that are holding you back. Then you will do your inner healing and transformational work so you shift your behavior in the real world.

See this video for an example of how a Type Three on the Enneagram changed through her inner work…


We will explore the nine wildly different personality types found on the Enneagram in depth.

You will:

  • Hear about the pain, the pleasures, and the crazy self protection mechanisms for each Enneagram type.
  • Unravel your stories through self exploration in small groups.
  • Shed your false self and set your authentic expression free!

On day one Ben Saltzman, your facilitator, will fully embody each type as he shares with you, from inside their worldview, how life unfolds.

On day two you get to explore all the hidden ego personas (or parts of self) you have that are restricting your emotional healing and spiritual transformation. We use a process called Big Mind developed by Zen Master Genpo Roshi. People say you get insights through an hour with this process that you reach after 10 years of meditation.

The process allows you to explore aspects of your ego (or Shadow) and embody aspects of your Divine Nature (your Light). After we embody and integrate some of your limiting personas we will help you shift into Expanded Consciousness where you experience Oneness, and Limitless Loving Divine Presence. Stepping into this space is profound, deeply healing work.

You will find yourself emotionally opening as we create a safe space for healing. Warning: the emotional release usually sneaks up on people!

This seminar is for both advanced and beginning students who are ready to take their self-exploration deeper. Don’t come to this event thinking you will get a data dump. Come ready to to shift, experience change in live time, and spiritually evolve!

Ben Saltzman, a world class facilitator, will take you into and through this exploration.

Testimonials

“Before understanding my own Enneagram type I would interrupt, overpower and push my clients into submission (This was not good for repeat business!). Now, I’m not as unconscious of my old behaviors.I work collaboratively with clients, listen and empower them to create positive changes they want in their work and home lives.”

- Hina Pendle, Coach and Type Eight
“I am a type nine on the Enneagram. Living with indecision and a numb senselessness regarding my own needs had become a way of life for me until I started looking at myself through the Enneagram. The Enneagram finally gave me a frame of reference that made sense to me and helped me understand my experience in a more enlightened way.Once I understood what was happening, I was able to get in touch with my own needs and feelings.I found that cultivating anger was a very powerful channel for this work. As I developed the ability to get in touch with my anger, I was able to recognize my needs and desires. The anger gave me focus and a growing sense of self that I never before experienced.This was a powerful starting point for me. From there I was finally able to figure out a path in my life – a career that I truly enjoy. And as I work with my needs I learn more about myself and feel more satisfied with my life each day.

- James Phelps, Deputy Sheriff
“It was unbelievably eye opening for me to see how much my type energy influences my thinking, feeling, decision-making, interactions with others– so very many areas of my life! I felt both blessed and overwhelmed to experience the depth of my type structure, AND to start separating my type from my true Self.The other thing I loved about this workshop was the reverence and love that the instructors held for the soul of everyone there: each participant, panel member, staff assistant, etc.Ive participated in many forums in which Ive witnessed the course facilitators expound their brand of self-awareness during the class, but then practice a completely different set of values in real life. Ben and Donna are living what theyre helping us to learn, and I deeply respect and appreciate them for that.

- Adele Cox, MA CMT, Body Therapist
“I feel so loved and supported in the group. It helps me to pull out of my self-pity when I see other people work on their tough issues. I feel myself more open, more understanding and more self-assured.

- Yong Bai, R&D/QA Manager
“I am a Type One on the Enneagram. I used to make over a million dollars in sales each year. I would eat in the finest restaurants, fly first class and always sit in seat One-A beside the front, left hand window of the plane so I had elbow room. If I didn’t get that seat I would be openly hostile and chastise the stewardess until they made the other customer move to another seat. A little personal slight or imperfection in service would make me seethe and stew for hours. If we arrived at a hotel and they had messed up my reservations my friends would wait in the lobby as I ranted and tore into employees until we got the penthouse suite. I had no empathy or understanding for whoever made the error.After studying the Enneagram and working with my point I have changed dramatically. Now I’ll sit in row Two-B and feel ok. I don’t make a scene and can move with the flow of life. I let go of my concerns and anger at being slighted, mishandled, or “dissed.” I give others the right to make errors. I have learned to walk in their shoes and release them, and myself, from the resentment I used to feel so constantly.”

- Richard Robinson
