Enneagram Typing Mistakes Block Your Deeper Self Understanding
Online Enneagram tests are often ineffective and don't touch your deep, unconscious patterns. Most people use this tool to get a better story about themselves, adding to ego identity. The trap is that you misuse the Enneagram, and now identify as a number or personality type.
The Enneagram as a Tool for Awakening: Natural Love and Compassion Flows from You
The Enneagram character fixations show you who you are not. The great power in this is your ability to wake up from the suffering of ego identity.
All of your relations can naturally improve as you open and understand yourself. Profound insights can arise. And you can become aware of who you are, deeper than fixation. This is Liberation and Fulfillment.
Unlock and Break Free from Harmful, Habitual Patterns
"I'm so much happier - in a way that I couldn't have imagined"
Ben shares how discovering the sacred tool of the Enneagram changed the way he interacts with others, circumstances, and his relationship with himself.
"I didn't realize so many of my life decisions up to that point were driven by fear. Now I have a choice - to notice if it's fixation or who I really am."
5-Day Enneagram Retreat: Deep Inquiry to Bring Your Subconscious Patterns to Light

Eli Jaxon-Bear's Years of Experience Passed On
Eli Jaxon-Bear is an American spiritual teacher and author of several ground-breaking books including, Wake Up and Roar, Sudden Awakening, and Fixation to Freedom: The Enneagram of Liberation. He lives in Ashland, Oregon, with his wife of fifty years, Gangaji, who is a world renowned spiritual teacher. Before he met his final teacher, Sri H.W.L. Poonja - Papaji, in 1990, he was best known for his new model of the Enneagram and Ego and synthesizing a radically new approach for training therapists during a decade of leading the certification program at Esalen Institute. Now he infuses his mastery and depth of experience with his teacher’s transmission of a silent mind and open heart, opening the possibility for final liberation through self-realization.
Eli has taught hundreds of retreats all over the world, working with thousands of people to discover their true nature. His mastery is reflected in his capacity to work with individuals directly during the retreats and courses, both to identify the correct ego fixation, and to assist the student to wake up from the trance of their personal identity.

"I just felt so totally welcome and compelled to pay attention. It was so healing to watch Eli and then to realize what he was actually saying - I could actually stop my mind and just even for a moment to see how that feels."
~ Leela School Student
"These retreats were so incredibly helpful (beyond words!) in understanding my and people's egos, in learning these methods to help myself and others to be free their suffering, and to deepen in realizing our True Self."
