Enneagram Emersion

New Series beginning March 11, 2010!  Dates and Registration

Enneagram Emersion is an IEA accredited program, extending over a one and two year period.  The seminars assist participants in identifying roadblocks present in their lives and will help those involved realize their full potential in all areas of life - work, play and self care.

An Emersion occurs when an eclipsed body reappears, moving from the shadow of the eclipse into the light.  The Enneagram of Personality is used to deepen awareness and understanding of the self and the roadblocks of personality fixations in the first year of the program. The second year of the program expands the study of the Enneagram of Personality to our relationship with the world, levels of consciousness, and the Enneagram of Essence.

The program consists of quarterly seminars. The four weekend seminars each year extend from Friday evening until Sunday evening. Participants will schedule two coaching sessions monthly with Dr. Deborah Ooten, Ron Esposito, Beth O'Hara or adjunct faculty, by phone or in person. These sessions are required to enhance learning in the program and apply the teachings to one's life.

Upon completion of the second year of the program, graduates can sit for Enneagram Teacher/Trainer Certification.  Students are certified by Dr. Deborah Ooten, in the Narrative Tradition.  Dr. Ooten is certified in the Narrative Tradition through Helen Palmer and David Daniels, M.D.

Enneagram Emersion is a narrative tradition enneagram school - an experiential program of learning through applying the teachings to personal life and deeply listening to the experiences of others.  Through this method, the Enneagram is dynamic and transformative. 

The School of Conscious Living Enneagram Emersion program provides participants with:

• Opportunites to explore and learn two in-depth systems, the enneagram and levels of consciousness, both of which provide powerful resources to develop advanced consciousness and awareness, assisting individuals to create self-change as well as global change


• Opportunities to develop and deepen a meditation/mindfulness practice


• Opportunities to explore and develop intuitive abilities, tapping into the place of true wisdom which is available when the observing self is engaged and developed


• Opportunities to work closely and continually with other participants and Dr. Ooten, Ron Esposito and Beth O'Hara in a community that will support and enhance the journey


• Opportunities to explore issues of power, sex, money, control, relationships, and any roadblocks that stand in the way of fully participating in a conscious and joyous life

Upon completion of this program, you will receive:

• Certificate of Completion


• The ability to use the enneagram and levels of consciousness in work, relationships and in life.


• Certification as a Narrative Tradition Enneagram Teacher/Trainer (after second year and completion of enneagram typing exam).


• A centered understanding of the roadblocks that separate you from truly living a full life, filled with possibilities.
