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 5 week online course, where you will:
-discover a deeper subconscious layer of your motivations, psyche and compulsive behavioral patterns
-understand how your primary instinctual drive clashes with others and creates conflict
-learn new practices to balance out your instinctual energies and stop wasting energy or "leaking your life force"
-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 5 Wednesdays.
Wednesday Evenings 6:30-8pm CST, Oct 20- Nov 17 2021
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 $285. (Limited Scholarships available. Message me privately to inquire).

“Journeying With the Enneagram” is a year-long experiential Enneagram course, for your personal transformation, supported by intentional community.
Next cohort begins February 1, 2022.
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

Saturday, March 20th, 10am - 3pm (with 1-hour lunch break)
This workshop is about using the Enneagram to enhance and heal your relationships.
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. This workshop is for people who have already have a basic understanding of the personality types (i.e. you've been to an intro workshop or have read a book on the Enneagram).
In this interactive 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 practical 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 and working with 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.***
We will meet online via Zoom.
Cost is $60 for the Early Bird Price (before March 11th) , and $75 March 11th and after. (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 should have a good guess of your Enneagram type to participate in this workshop.

Wednesday, June 24th, 2020. 7-9pm. Location: Zoom
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.

In this two-part online workshop Chelsea will introduce the Enneagram, which is a map that helps us understand the motivation behind our thinking, feeling and behavior. You will learn about the nine different Enneagram personality types and begin to determine your own type.
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
-identify areas in your life where you are out of balance, and find guidance in how to re-balance
-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
***If you participate in this workshop, you will be eligible for a 1:1 typing session or coaching session with Chelsea at half price!***
Cost is $30 (which includes both sessions).

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.
