The workshop

A unique 6-module program to understand oneself, love oneself, love others, and journey towards one's inner self.

Finding our way back to our essence

A training that quickly confronts you with the essentials and brings out a personal potential that opens the path to the Soul.

From early childhood, our true nature has been thwarted, denied, or ignored. We have adapted in order to exist, even to survive. The Enneagram shows us how a certain fundamental fear has led us down the path of a passion that imprisons us. The Way of the Soul consists of rediscovering the path to our essence.

An experiential training combining the Enneagram, Médecine Symbolique and a multiplicity of support techniques: bodily, energetic, active, meditative, personal reflection and observation, mutual support, exchanges between participants.

What is the Enneagram ?

  • a tool for self-knowledge and understanding one's difficulties in personal, relational, romantic, family, social and professional life
  • a way to understand repetitive situations and behaviors and to recognize new resources within oneself
  • support for personal and spiritual development, an energetic reading of human functioning
  • a way to support others (helping relationship, coaching, care, therapies…)
  • a resource for disidentifying from the ego and journeying towards one's essence
