The knowledge of the Enneagram does us no good unless we are also Practicing Presence. This means developing a continuity of mindfulness and inner awareness throughout the day, so that we can catch ourselves "in the act" and learn to make different choices, moment to moment.
It is entirely possible to live without being motivated by our anger, shame and anxiety. Wishing these thoughts and feelings away won't help. Daily awareness practice will.
Join me as we explore many different ways to Practice Presence, both in formal meditation practices and in daily activities. If you've always wanted to develop a meditation practice but didn't know how to begin, this is a great place to start.
Anyone can do this. This is for everyone.
And if you're already familiar with mindfulness but want to recommit to your practice or find a new way of practicing, you are invited to join us to inject some life and motivation back into your practice!
This is about aligning our "Centers," and becoming fully alive, aware, and open in Body, Heart & Mind.
Tapping into Presence allows us to become fully human, and fully Free.
Zoom link will be sent out after registration.
We will have a 1-hour lunch break.
The format of this retreat will be varied, with time in front of the computer and away, teachings from Chelsea in the large group, guided meditations and movement, Q& A, small group discussions and practicing presence with a partner. (This is carefully curated to prevent Zoom fatigue!)
Enneagram students of all levels are welcome. Cost $40. Scholarships available.

“Journeying With the Enneagram” is a year-long experiential Enneagram course, for your personal transformation, supported by intentional community.
We will apply The Work of the Enneagram to our everyday lives: to the challenges that arise in our jobs, families, relationships, and even mundane practical matters. We need not be frustrated by these challenges arising. They do not get in the way of The Work. They are The Work. We don’t need to cut ourselves off from the world and join a monastery to gain deeper peace and freedom. With the proper guidance, community support, and ongoing practice of Compassion and Presence, we can become more whole and happy human beings right in the midst of our messy lives.
We will use the incredible book “The Wisdom of the Enneagram” by Don Riso and Russ Hudson as a map for our journey. The path they have laid out is, I believe, divinely inspired wisdom that takes the reader’s mind, heart, and body through immense transformation if the reader is willing to do The Work in community. The length of this course will allow us to digest this dense material in bite-sized pieces so that we can truly integrate this knowledge into our Being, instead of just zipping through and memorizing useless facts

A big part of healing the world is healing ourselves. Join me for a short online workshop to explore personal healing, alignment, and integration within the vibrant Enneagram community of the Twin Cities! Taught by Chelsea Forbrook, hosted by MN-IEA (Minnesota International Enneagram Association). FREE for first time MN-IEA guests, members, and people under age 25. $20 for everyone else. Registration required.
Our three “Centers” of body, heart, and head all contain a unique innate intelligence. We need all three of them to function in a stable, healthy manner. Unfortunately, depending on our Enneagram type, the proper functioning of these three centers gets “scrambled up” with each other in different ways, which diminishes our capacity for right action, emotional authenticity, and clear thinking. Join us for this exciting teaching within the Enneagram; one that is rarely discussed, and yet contains the power to unlock our true potential and find the stability we’ve been longing for.

Have you been wondering what the heck Enneagram Subtypes are? What about the Instincts? Are they the same or different? And how does this apply to me, my life, and my path of growth? Discovering our primary Instinct is just as illuminating and life changing as discovering our Enneagram type!
The Instincts are the three primal drives inherent in all of us that drive our programming. Self preservation, social, and sexual instincts are found in all animals, including humans, and they are the building blocks of our survival and our personality. (Yes, this is related to subtypes!) We’ll take a deep dive into how these drives are showing up in your habits and life decisions, which Instinct is dominant (compulsive) for you, and which one is in your “blindspot” (neglected). Understanding the beauty and power of all three instincts and balancing their energies in your life will lead to greater self knowledge, self respect, Presence and grounding, minimization of conflicts with others, effectiveness and capacity to become the person you have always wanted to be.
This workshop is for beginners and experienced Enneagram practitioners alike. You need not know your Enneagram type to attend. Understanding the Instincts lays a foundation for understanding the Enneagram typing system and helps avoid mistyping.
Join me for this 4 week online course, where you will:
-discover a deeper subconscious layer of your motivations, psyche and behavioral patterns
-understand how your primary instinctual drive clashes with others and creates conflict
-learn new practices to balance out your instinctual energies
-interrupt your patterns of destructive behavior through awareness, presence, and inner work
-bring compassion to your "blindspot," the area of life where you carry the most shame and insecurity
-connect with the support of a community that is doing healing work through the Enneagram
This online workshop will take place over the course of 4 Wednesdays.
Wednesday Evenings 7-8:45pm, May 13, 20, 27, & June 3.
We will meet online via Zoom, and class size is limited to 20 people. Please show up to all 4 sessions. If you need to miss one that is fine. It will be recorded and you will have access to the recording.
Cost is $95. (If your income has been affected by COVID-19 and you cannot afford this price, please message me privately).

In this workshop, you will :
-gain deeper self awareness
-discover new layers within your consciousness
-find hope and tools that can change your patterns and habits
-experience how this knowledge helps increase the compassion you can have for yourself and those you love

-learn about the 9 basic personality types and how they differ from your motivations and "lens of the world"
This workshop will take place in two parts to reduce the amount of screen time we are all experiencing, and to give you more time to integrate this knowledge. Both sessions will take place online via Zoom.
Session #1: May 14th, 7:00-8:45pm - Overview of the Enneagram, 9 types, a "break out of your box" exercise, Q &A
Session #2: May 21st, 7:00-8:45pm - Panel discussions to learn from others in the group about what it's like to be each type, Q & A

What is the Enneagram??
The Enneagram is a psychological- spiritual personality typing tool which serves as a map for transformation and growth. Unlike other personality typing systems, the wisdom of the Enneagram does not put you in a box with a label and leave you there. Instead, it shows you the particular box you've been trapped in (aka. your personality) so that you can get out and discover the freedom of your True Self. The Enneagram is dynamic, and points to each type's unique skills and virtues as well as each type's shadow side and habits that continuously get them into trouble. It is a fast-track to self awareness, self compassion, and transformation. I have found no other tool that can so elegantly help people see their patterns and get "un-stuck." Not only is it a tool for greater mental, spiritual, and emotional health, it also leads to greater compassion for others and shines a light on the root of difficulties in our relationships.

The Enneagram & Relationships - April 2020
The Enneagram is a comprehensive map of our ego structures, defenses, coping strategies, motivations, fears, and desires. Understanding ourselves and bringing awareness to our biases helps loosen our attachment to our patterned way of thinking, feeling and acting. The Enneagram offers us OPTIONS, FREEDOM, and COMPASSION for self and others.
There is perhaps no better tool than the Enneagram to explain why conflicts occur between people and why we annoy
each other.
In this 4-week online workshop, you will:
-see your own patterns clearly and understand why you keep making the same mistakes
-see others' patterns clearly and bring compassion to your relating
-learn strategies to relate with others with more ease, humor, and grace
-gain tools for working through conflict in more skillful ways
-deepen your understanding of the Enneagram system through learning about the Triadic Groups: The Centers of Intelligence (body, heart, head), Harmonic Groups (Coping Styles in Conflict), and Hornevian Groups (Energetic "Stances")
-practice centering exercises that bring you into Presence, so you can more fully inhabit your Essence and let go of Ego
***This could easily change the trajectory of a failing marriage, an estrangement with a family member, or decades of patterned bickering with your mother. Seriously. Information alone is not enough to heal us, but doing "The Work" with the knowledge of the Enneagram is life changing.***
This workshop will take place over the course of 4 Wednesdays:
-Wed Evenings 7-8:45pm (April 8, 15, 22, 29)
We will meet online via Zoom, and each class size is limited to 10 people. Please show up to all 4 sessions. If you need to miss one that is fine. It will be recorded and you will have access to the recording.
Cost is $85. (If your income has been affected by COVID-19 and you cannot afford this price, please message me privately).
Beginners to the Enneagram are welcome, but you need to know your own Enneagram type to participate in this workshop.
