Thresholds

3 Centered Wisdom in the 2nd Half of Life

.

One cannot live the afternoon of life according to the program of life’s morning; for what was great in the morning will be of little importance in the evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening become a lie.             — C. G. Jung

.

For 25 years, I have been meeting with people who come to Enneagram work when they are standing at a threshold.

.

Thresholds are moments in your life that initially feel strange, unfamiliar and threatening to your identity. Yet, they set into motion the opportunity to discover  2nd half of life potentials lying dormant inside of you.
.
We warmly invite your whole being – mind, heart, and body – into a cycle of Learning, Practice and Integration. You choose how:  Thresholds Group Sessions, Enneagram Learning, Individual Sessions, Contemplative Practice.

In these frenetic and attention-bating times, Leslie offers a 3 Centered approach which includes attention to what is going on in my mind, heart and body.
.
Popular Enneagram work often falls short by focusing on personal identification with your type, but Leslie’s skilled practice centered approach, with the use of panels and contemplative practices, leaves a more lasting impact for transforming life and relationships. 
,
It’s been a privilege to facilitate with her, receive her coaching, and include her as a Core Faculty in our contemplative community.

We consistently hear The Centers Approach is unlike any other way of teaching the Enneagram because it doesn’t get stuck in the mental center

You can now access all Leslie’s Enneagram teaching online in our Enneagram Shop.

Letting go of your idealized Enneagram persona

Letting go of your idealized Enneagram persona

It may be stretch that we have to pray for a humiliation a day. It comes on its own unbidden. The question is, will we see it or will we work quickly to rationalize or defend against it? Will we make space for the emotions it elicits? Will we feel it in our bodies? ⁣⁣...

What is this time in your life asking of you?

What is this time in your life asking of you?

In the 2nd half of life, rather than unconsciously giving into cultural “anti-aging,” or the tendency to “other” those we are hurt by, we can turn inward and see the Enneagram patterns that live in us: When our idealized persona (3) cracked. When our shadow (6)...

Be careful of simplistic Enneagram prescriptions

Be careful of simplistic Enneagram prescriptions

We can’t write a prescription based on the arrows for each Enneagram type as in “Enneagram 6 goes to Enneagram 9 in order to be "healthy" or Enneagram 4 needs to "go to" Enneagram 1.” It’s not how it works. We're too different based on factors like culture,...
