Description
They were honed for millions of years, and they still govern all life on Earth — including, to a large extent, human beings. The instinctual drives are as relevant to us today as they were to early humans, animals before humans, and even plants.
In this respect, the statement that we’re basically plants with complicated emotions isn’t too far off. Of course, we are not only our instinctual expression, but a lot of other things, too. But how do the instinctual impulses operate in us — and what, exactly, do they cover? That is what this live, interactive course explores.
The course is online, in 5 modules of 2 hrs each.
Tool: Zoom (download from https://zoom.us)
Start: August 30:th at 6 pm—8 pm CEST
Scope: 5 modules
Frequency: Every week
We will cover: The nature of the instinctual centre; the evolutionary purpose, nature and scope of each instinct; what basic and extended functions the drives fulfil for us today; the three zones of expression for each instinct. what happens when an instinct is neglected and how we can work and grow with and from our own instinctual expression and awareness. All modules will include guided meditation and practical exercises. All modules are also recorded for reviewing later, but cannot be downloaded and will only be accessible while the course is running. After the last module, participants get a 50 % discount on an Instinctual Preferences Sorting session for exploring their personal instinctual order of preference and their relationship to each of the three instincts. The discount expires after 30 days. As an optional (but by no means necessary) preparation, participants might familiarise themselves with the material by reading the book Aspects of you (also available in Spanish as Tus facetas and in Swedish as Navigera i ditt inre).

Enlightening, professional, and complete! It’s clear that knowing your instinct can provide you with valuable information that you cannot get by knowing your Enneatype alone. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to learn the origin of many of the everyday motivations, feelings and conducts.

Invigorating, fascinating, exploratory — I got more than I paid for! If you’re wondering what drives you and would like to explore how it operates in you and influences your personality, this is a great course. Cicci is a passionate about the material she covers and invested in building clearer understanding in this often misunderstood and neglected area of study within the Enneagram community. I learnt so much in this course and it has re-invigorated my spiritual growth journey.

Insightful, thought-provoking and interesting! The zones within each instincts were an important tool for me, and added greatly to my understanding of the topic, and the small group allowed for openness and trust to build, and sharing of own experiences. Cicci is a gifted teacher, who is able to cater her teaching style to different audiences and participants around the world. She demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of the subject matter, and was engaged in fruitful and respectful discussions with the participants. Thanks to Cicci, since completing the course, I have been able to understand at a much deeper level how the instincts play out within the context of The Enneagram.
