Newsletter November 2015 - by Dirk Cloete

We are almost at the end of a very impactful 2015, an extraordinary year for myself, Integrative and our community. We are now buzzing and orchestrating the symphony of events which will be unfolding in the next 12 months. This Newsletter will cover important announcements about our Global training events as well as our next big conference 2016, not to be missed. Weaved in between are our reflections of what happened over the past months since our last newsletter.

Reflections

IEA Conference in Copenhagen in September

Going to the European Enneagram Conferences are always inspiring. The atmosphere buzzed with friendly practitioners from all over the world. The focus was much more on the business and practical application with science and research at the forefront. It was lovely to see fellow South Africans Julia Kerr and Casper Oelofsen (presented on Mindfulness).

The best session I attended was Marika Borg (from Finland) on how to use humour to introduce the Enneagram to business people in a very short period. We laughed and we were entertained, but walked away with practical ideas on how to serve an Elephant in bite sizes. I found the high standard of the conference and bonding with the 180 participants to be inspiring.

My friend from San Francisco Karl Hebenstreit wrote an article about his session and his upcoming book on the Enneagram and OD read here

A big thank you to Susanne Povelsen, Claus and Birgitte Olsen for hosting me in their homes afterwards.
Claus helped me to fill my suitcase with the highly addictive Danish delicacy, chocolate covered liquorice balls.

SAT Training with Claudio Naranjo

I was privileged to participate in 3 training workshops by Claudio in the last 4 months. I'm still integrating and processing the deep impact it has made on my life and my relationships. The feedback I get is that I am more grounded, open and generous.

Claudio Naranjo & Dirk Cloete in Mont Pellier, France Oct 2015

SAT 2 in California was 9 days with 60 people and 8 facilitators on a mountain surrounded by a forest. The core work was the Enneagram and transforming our relationships with our Parents, Siblings, partners, children and ourselves. Integration happens on all levels of body, mind, emotions and spirit. They also used the Hoffman process + series of Zen meditation.
SAT 4 in Southern France was 5 days attended by 45 people and focussed on deep spiritual transformation of the 27 Subtypes + deep Buddhist meditations.
BALZAC Simposium 5 days with 80 people - Claudio gave us all the task of gathering the 27 subtype personality descriptions from the works of a French author who wrote over 100 books in the 1800s. In his books are very clear character descriptions and articulate behavioural expressions. We studied, dissected and performed these intrinsic patterns.

Claudio Naranjo is truly a remarkable man, a genius with an immensely compassionate heart.

Claudio is very interested in the IEQ and we are launching a massive research project soon. We will send out invitations to join long term interactive research in various fields.

Diane Ring - New Integrative Training Facilitator

I had the honour to give IEQ Accreditation Enneagram Training to a group of coaches in Golden Colorado with my new co-facilitator Diane Ring from Austin TX. She is a very dynamic, very integrated Ennea 4 and comes with years of experience in the Enneagram and the business coaching field. She is also trained in NeuroLeadership and Mindfullness. Thank you Diane for your professionalism, inspiration and elegance. (Also a big thank you to Mark and Lori Leyba for hosting the training near Denver)

Advanced Team Dynamics

I gave the Level 2 Enneagram and Team Dynamics training to 18 very experienced facilitators from all over the world in Cape Town last week. Liv Vadum and Anne Ravn Grønholt came all the way from Norway and Denmark to participate. Exploring deep Polarities was one of the highlights of the course.

We used the IEQ Team reports with the 3 subgroups and we experienced genuinely powerful expressions of group dynamics in realtime. We had an Ennea 2 team, an Ennea 8 team and an Ennea 5 team. Using constellations and basic Gestalt practices we experienced many shifts. We explored what the Enneagram types need to trust others in teams and how to overcome the fear of conflict. Well done to an amazing and dedicated group of people who want to transform teams in business.

2016 International Enneagram Conference

We first hosted an Enneagram conference in South Africa in 2014. 120 people from all over the world participated in a very stimulating event. Ginger Lapid-Bogda (Los Angeles) was our keynote speaker on Diversity and the Enneagram. Wendy Palmer was our conscious embodiment endnote speaker. We had 40 speakers from Europe, Australia, USA and South Africa.

We will use the Vineyard Hotel again for this event as they offer great service, amazing food and is surrounded by nature at the foot of Table Mountain.

Next year we are aiming for 250 participants. We already have interest from Russ Hudson, Ginger Lapid-Bogda, Andrea Isaacs, Claus Roager Olsen, Diana Redmond, Beatrice Chestnut, Catherine Fauvre, Karl Hebenstreit, Uranio Paes, Diane Ring, Susanne Povelsen.

The theme is Holism, which is bringing Body, Mind, Heart and Spirit together as a whole on a personal, group, societal and world level. We will have 4 streams which focus on practical application and development using the Enneagram. A very strong emphasis on sharing results of scientific research.

If you are interested in participating, presenting or want to know more, please complete our very short survey to get the ball rolling.
