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 Mairtri’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;
• Tools for guiding others to recognize, embrace and help in relaxing the Soul Child structure to open the way for 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, as you engage with experiential exercises, you will develop skill in identifying the activity of the Soul Child and how to embrace it’s unique gifts. You will come away with an ability to identify the early indications of the Soul Child that is implicit in the core of every Enneagram type, describing how the Soul Child both creates obstacle in personality development while also offering a portal to full maturation of the Soul.
