Join Belinda Gore in a life-changing adventure as you explore the origins of the Soul Child, a somewhat mysterious structure that links us with Essence. In Sandra Maitri‘s words, “If our soul child is not part of our ongoing conscious life, we feel that part of us is missing…without this structure being integrated within our consciousness, we cannot really speak of true transformation.”

Sandra Martri’s book “The Spiritual Dimensions of the Enneagram”, and specifically Chapter 11, will be the textbook for the course. Belinda has been a student in Sandra’s International Retreat Group since 2006 and has her permission to teach this work.

Over seven weeks in this course, you will learn:

• A foundational understanding of the Inner Flow within the Enneagram circle – closely linked with the teachings about the Arrows, but with an important difference;
• The sequence of the Soul’s emergence into consciousness according to the teachings of A.H. Almaas;
• To identify the specific characteristics of the Soul Child for each of the nine Enneagram types;
• To link the Soul Child with Object Relations patterns in each of the Enneagram types;
• Tools for guiding others to recognize and embrace the Soul Child so the structure slowly diminishes, opening more direct access to Essence at its core.

Experiential exercises with fellow students, using virtual breakout rooms, give you the opportunity to have a direct experience of this rich material.

In this course you will develop skill in identifying the activity of the Soul Child and how to embrace its unique gifts. You will come away with an ability to identify Soul Child characteristics, implicit in the core of every Enneagram type, and be able to describe how the Soul Child creates obstacles in personality development as well as offering a portal to full maturation of the Soul.
