- **Event Description**: Enneagram workshop to understand how instinctual drives shape your behavior and relationships, and how to bring them into balance.About this EventThe Three Instincts (subtypes) WorkshopAuthorized Enneagram Institute® WorkshopTaught by Anne GearyDates:Friday, April 17 - 6.00pm - 9:00pmSaturday, April 18 - 9:00am – 5:00pmSunday, April 19 - 9:00am – 4:00pmLocation:The Caswell210 South Caswell Road, Charlotte, NCOverviewOur instinctual nature is one of the most powerful forces in our decision-making, relationships, lifestyle choices, and orientation to daily reality — and yet it is rarely understood. In many spiritual traditions, instincts are overlooked or treated as a distortion to be eliminated. In truth, without a conscious relationship to this aspect of ourselves, it becomes extremely difficult to maintain a grounded and integrated spiritual path.The Enneagram addresses this dimension directly through the Three Instincts:Self-PreservationSocial (Adaptation)Sexual / AttractionThese instinctual drives shape how we allocate our life-energy, how we prioritize needs, and how our type pattern expresses itself. Many students discover that understanding their instinctual bias is as transformative as discovering their type itself.In this immersive workshop, we will clarify and deepen your understanding of the Instincts by exploring how they operate in real time within your personal experience. We will examine your particular instinctual “stack” — the habitual pattern that keeps your life organized around over-developed needs while neglecting others. This imbalance is one of the most powerful contributors to personality fixation.Recognizing how we give energy to certain needs while ignoring others brings balance and helps us integrate the deeper experiences of Essence and Being. Without this inner work, even profound experiences of Spirit and Oneness cannot take root in daily life.What You Will LearnHow the Three Instincts shape perception, attention, and behaviorHow your dominant instinct combines with your type to create your core personality structureHow your instinctual “stack” determines blind spots, strengths, and relational patternsHow instinctual imbalance keeps type fixation activeHow to recognize instinctual reactivity in real timePractical tools for balancing your instinctual drivesHow to cultivate presence as a stabilizing force across all three instinctsThe Insight Approach®This workshop uses the Insight Approach®, the experiential method developed by Don Riso and Russ Hudson over more than two decades. It emphasizes:Guided meditationsSensing and presence-based awareness practicesExperiential dyads and triadsMovement and somatic workMusic and imageryPanels and lived experienceA relaxed, conversational, grounded teaching styleThe Insight Approach helps participants see instinctual patterns in real time and learn how to relax them so new possibilities and deeper balance can emerge.About the InstructorAnne Geary is an authorized Enneagram Institute® workshop teacher and an IEA Accredited Professional.
