, experiential practices with the exquisite guidance of the Enneagram.

During The Enneagram of Essence, you’ll receive never-before-shared insights, techniques and processes designed to activate your depth awakening and build a truly sacred life.

You’ll learn about about, and practice, the nine pathways to realization and embodied Essence, working in particular ways with characteristic blockages of the types.

Each weekly, LIVE session will build harmoniously upon the next, so that you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools and principles you’ll need to embody and sustain this profound awakening.

Note: Sessions begin March 23 and run through November 2 and dates are subject to change occasionally. There are breaks built into the schedule where you will occasionally have a week off to absorb the material you are discovering.

Module 1: The Builder, Materials & Architecture of a Sacred Life
(2 Sessions)

module1.jpg

Life is sacred, that is to say, it is the supreme value, to which all other values are subordinate.
— Albert Einstein

Who is the builder of a sacred life? Is it ourselves doing the deep inner work that transmutes the fixated ego into presence and the flowered gifts of our soul? Is it Essence itself, and we just need to relax and surrender? What is the intersection between effort and surrender, between personal development and egolessness?

And what are the materials needed for a sacred life? Is it the prima materia, a genuine numinosum, a holy, psychic/spiritual substance which allows us to consciously experience both the light and dark sides of Essence/God within ourselves?

And what architecture can be revealed that can guide us that we can consciously partner with? From Newtonian to Quantum, from Cartesian to timelessness… What dynamics, principles, guideposts, processes and practices can we discover — within and without — to which we can consciously awaken and align? And how can we consciously partner with them to build power and capacity, without becoming attached to any one design that might limit the experience of the unique “burning bush” that each of us is in our direct contact with Love, Infinity, Essence, the Divine?

The first module will lay the foundations for this new approach to depth awakening. Embodying a sacred life requires stabilizing our attention to, our love for and our embodiment of the meeting point of essence and the present moment. Your awakened journey is then generated through each breath you take.

Over two sessions, Jessica Dibb will cover topics that provide a platform for contacting the builder, the prima materia, and the design and pathways for embodying Essence and experiencing a sacred life.

In Session 1 of the first module, you’ll discover and explore:

A depth interpretation of a core wound and how it creates suffering, reactive ego and shadow
How and why the core wound is differentiated in each Enneagram Type
Basic understandings and definitions of the personal developmental journey, Inner Work and ways you can “build” your Self
The Instincts — the higher or awakened somatic capacities
The Virtues — the higher or awakened heart
The Holy Ideas — the higher or awakened intellect
The Gift of each Enneagram Type
The great work which goes against one’s nature, Carl Jung’s opus contra naturam
Dynamism, the Missing Piece, the Transparent Veil and Essence of Enneagram Types

In Session 2 of the first module, you’ll explore:

Illuminating issues of self-care in Enneagram Types
Eros and sexuality in Enneagram Types
What the Enneagram teaches us about the relational field, relationships and relatedness
The 9 Aspects of Authentic Love — and how to work with all of the types as your initiation into unconditional love
Communication — speaking and listening with all types
How the Enneagram can support you in being present to increasing complexity and richness in yourself, your vocation, other people and the world
Understanding and contacting the 9 Aspects of the Divine — towards a boundless, creative spirituality

Module 2: Building, Nourishing & Developing the Vehicle for a Sacred Life The Instincts, the Virtues & the Holy Ideas (3 Sessions)

module2.jpg

The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased.
— Alexander Hamilton

Throughout the ages masters and teachers have talked about the potential of human beings to recognize and build a vehicle for higher consciousness within our body, heart and mind so that Essence can flow unimpeded through every aspect of our life, every breath.

The triadic intelligence of the Enneagram shows us how we can awaken, build and flower these dynamics by doing Inner Work with the higher instinctual drives (the awakened Instincts), higher emotional capacities (the Virtues), and higher intellect (the Holy Ideas). Module 2 will offer a full class on building each of these aspects.

In this session, you’ll discover:

The awakened self-preservation instinct — the path from the drive to survive to the commitments to self-care of ourselves and our lives as sacred

The awakened sexual instinct — the path from the drive to merge and assimilate to developing unimpeded attunement and dedication to what really matters and what generates emergence
Blind spots and resistance of the sexual instinct
The awakened social instinct — the path from the drive to be protected and belong to the developing stewardship and responsiveness to ALL
Blind spots and distortions of the social instinct
An emerging feminine and right brain perspective and orientation to the instincts that brings in new possibilities for the transformation
