INTRO

This workshop is an introduction into the Enneagram model, a profound tool and ancient wisdom to develop a deeper understanding of who you are, and who you are not, in order to regain your true sovereignty. In essence, the Enneagram is a tool for cultivating self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and a deeper connection to others, making it valuable not only for personal growth but also for enhancing relationships, teamwork, and leadership.


WHAT WE’RE GOING TO DO

You will learn about the Enneagram model, discover which type you are and practise how to navigate life with this new awareness.
The Enneagram is a powerful system of personality exploration and self-awareness that identifies nine distinct personality types, each with its own set of core motivations, fears, and patterns of behavior. At its heart, the Enneagram is not just a tool for categorizing people but a dynamic framework for understanding why we think, feel, and act the way we do. Each type represents a different way of perceiving and interacting with the world, shaped by deeply ingrained habits and coping mechanisms that develop over a lifetime.
The nine types are interconnected within a circular diagram, with lines indicating relationships between types, often referred to as “wings” and “stress/growth paths.” These connections highlight the fluid nature of the Enneagram and its emphasis on personal development, showing how individuals can shift toward healthier expressions of their type under positive conditions or adopt less productive patterns under stress.



WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE

At its core, the Enneagram invites us to go beyond our surface behaviors to uncover the unconscious motivations that drive them. This awareness allows for greater compassion—for ourselves and others—while offering pathways for growth and transformation.
By understanding your Enneagram type and the types of those around us, you can foster better communication, deepen relationships, and navigate challenges with greater clarity and purpose.
On a spiritual level, the Enneagram supports the journey toward authentic selfhood and alignment with the divine. Each type highlights both the challenges of ego fixation and the higher virtues that emerge as we grow. By recognizing and disidentifying from habitual reactions, you can move beyond the limits of personality and cultivate presence, mindfulness, and inner freedom.

– Cultivate self awareness

YOUR FACILITATOR
Kanika is the Co-Founder of DIMA MALLORCA, a Community run Retreat Centre and mystery school where, amongst many other places, she works as a Holistic Counsellor and Group Therapist. She is extremely passionate about discovering our human potential and thus uncovering the mechanisms within ourselves that stop us from living our essential nature. She has witnessed and experienced our innate capacity to heal and feels it is the most worthwhile endeavour to embark on, the journey of integration, and therefore individual and collective expansion. By intuitively combining a multifold of modalities she works specifically with each person’s individual “make up”, both one on one and in group settings, to hone one’s own and the collective, inherent wisdom for insight, healing and transformation. The Enneagram is one of the tools she uses and teaches with great enthusiasm and profound understanding, as she finds it to be a uniquely powerful key for self-reflection and transformation on the path of healing and awakening, far beyond the personality typing system it is commonly used as.
Her way of working is based and inspired on the Enneagram to Essence Work (Gurdjieff, Ichazo, Hudson, Chestnut & Paes, and others), Essence Work (Diamond Approach, A.H Almaas & Diamond Logos, Faisal Muqaddam ), Cellular Transformation (Jennifer Millar), Holistic Counselling (Rafia Morgan & Turiya Hanover), Somatic Experiencing (Trauma Work, Peter Levine), Gestalt Therapy (Fritz Perls), Constellation Work & Spiritual Coaching (Bert Hellinger & Klaus Horn), Meditation & Mindfulness Techniques (Osho Therapies & others).
