Contemplation and the Intuitive Faculty
–Object Relationship
This session details a contemplative approach to the living interface between the "I – It" dualism of personal knowledge, and an intuitive faculty that knows by uniting with its objects of attention, instead of being separate from them. "I – It understanding" guides the horizontal reality of daily living, while intuition reflects the stages of spiritual evolution, by participating with them. The Asheville session will feature a mix of guided and silent practice, focused on what is commonly called the observer-object relationship in the world faith traditions.
Helen will also lead some of the morning meditations throughout the conference.

Somatic Awareness
How can we incorporate simple breathing and stretching exercises into our daily routine and into our teaching work with groups? What's important is bodywork which supports learning, vitality and embodiment in ways that people will remember. If it feels good - we're more likely to practice!
Peter has been combining the Enneagram with somatic work since 1978 with an emphasis on Reichian/Bioenergetic bodywork. He teaches the Embodied Enneagram workshop and writes about the somatic profiles of the nine character types.
