A panel is where folks who lead with a certain type are asked to share more about their personal experience and observations regarding the pattern we are looking at.

This style of learning grants us the unique opportunity to learn more about how a specific pattern shows up in a real, living human being (beyond a written description). The result is often profound shifts in understanding for both the panelist and the rest of the group.

As the facilitator, I will offer an introduction to the topic and then invite panelists to share their personal experiences around the topic. This type of panel is less about explaining and more about exploring these experiences in real time.

This approach comes from my training as a Certified Narrative Enneagram Teacher through The Narrative Enneagram (TNE). Learn more about TNE and the panel method of teaching here.

Note: If you’ve listened to the mini panel episodes of the Enneagram Typecast, the panels in this group will be quite different. Together we will be forming a coherent field of presence to support the panelists to do a piece of inner work live in the group. We’ll talk more about this in Week 1!

Being on a panel is totally voluntary, and panelists can choose to discontinue their process at any time.

That said, because of my personal experiences sitting on and witnessing panels have been so illuminating and healing, I highly recommend taking advantage of this opportunity! Especially in a cohort like this where we will be getting to know each other before the panels start, it is an amazing way to do inner work while held in a field of presence among fellow seekers.

On Week 1, I’ll offer an overview of the teaching we’ll be diving into and you’ll be primed to begin observing your Habit of Attention in the week(s) leading up to your panel. We’ll be working with what is alive for you in real time, so there’s no need to prepare anything in advance. Just bring your curiosity and willingness to engage in honest exploration!

I highly recommend this style of learning to folks at any level of awareness! In our time together, we’ll be focusing on a small portion of Enneagram teachings, related to attention, fixation, & core beliefs. It is not a comprehensive overview, but rather a chance to experience the type in action and to learn together in community. That said, this group is best for those who have done some self-observation and who have sense of their dominant type.

If you’re called to join but not fully certain of your type, there are a few options:

a) Reach out for recommendations on who to work with to get clearer on your dominant type! (I don’t currently offer typing interviews but I have some wonderful colleagues who do!)

b) Sit on the panel of a type you are exploring to see how the material shows up for you

c) Join the cohort and work with the material without sitting on a panel

Practicing and learning in community brings a richness to the inner work. Every time a group gathers, a unique field is created and highlights pieces that are ready to be witnessed and worked with in real time.

When we earnestly observe what is alive in the present moment, there is always an opportunity for new insights to emerge. Additionally, I will be teaching and facilitating from the perspective of identifying the somatic roots of our patterns and working with a somatic approach that is different from many approaches to the Enneagram.

Live attendance is encouraged, especially during your type’s week so you can have the experience of sitting on a panel. (See the live session breakdown section for dates.)

Recordings of the teachings and practices made available to group participants. Panels will be also be recorded* for members who are unable to attend. Recordings will be viewable for one month following the final session.

*Panelists will have the option to request that their portion of the recording not be shared.

This is a beta run of this style of cohort and I can’t guarantee there will be another group exactly like this. However, I’ll be learning from this group and hope to offer something similar in the future, possibly on a different topic. If now is not the right time to join, you can get on this waitlist to be first to know when a future group is forming.

Payment is nonrefundable*. Please consider if this cohort is right for you, and reach out if you have any questions.

*In the case of extraordinary circumstances, payment may be applied toward 1:1 coaching.

The next step is to complete an application! Because space is limited by type, I’ll be granting entry to the group on a first-come-first-served basis.

If you have more questions or are not sure if this is a good fit for you, you can email me at hello@carynberley.com or schedule a time for us to chat.
