Tantrik Enneagram teaches you how to identify which of the 9 personality types you belong to, and how to transform the limited karma of personality and emotion into a "Wisdom Display" of enlightened virtues and actions.

HISTORY

Tantrik Enneagram originated in the steppes of Central Asia, the home of Non-Dual Tantra-Dharma. For thousands of years it was a highly guarded secret mostly preserved in esoteric Sufi communities, until popularized in the West by the great Greek-Armenian mystic named Gurdjief.

In modern times, the Catholic Church and Western Psychology have adopted the Enneagram teachings, but they lack the original Tantrik View and Methodology that makes the Tantrik Enneagram a powerful tool of not only psychological but also spiritual development. The most popular forms of Enneagram being taught today are heavily influenced by teachers from a specific stream of psychology that has distorted the understanding of how the subtle body (channels, cakras, etc.) and its energies play a pivotal role in the production and maintenance of a false sense of self that keeps us from full realization of our human potential.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

• In the Tantrik Enneagram you will discover your Enneagram personality type and the generalized “package” of karmic patterns that hold you in a state of relative ignorance of your true nature and the suffering that comes from this state of “non-remembrance”.

• You will also discover those specific karmic patterns or areas wherein you most easily “fall asleep” and lose connection to Essence.

• You will learn how these unique karmic patterns express as emotional reactivity, patterns of unconscious thought and behavior.

• You'll learn how to cultivate unshakeable Present Moment Awareness so that you can transform the ever-arising karmas of your limited personality/ego-structure into a radiant expression of innate virtues called the “Personality Display” as contrasted with the Limited Personality created as a means to buffer reality.

• You'll also learn the most important feature of Enneagram training – the mechanism by which your negative emotions that arise from karmic patterns, which cause your obstacles, actually hold the keys to your full realization and enjoyment of life.

This training is recommended to anyone on a spiritual path and/or involved in psychological work, as it provides profound opportunities for self-reflection, direction and true sustainable growth.

ABOUT THE TEACHER

Dharma Bodhi (Kol Martens) began practicing yoga at age seven, and in his teens moved into practices of Chan Buddhism and Daoism. He then went on to study non-dual Śaivite yoga and completed Ācārya training in 1996 under his non-dual Śaiva Guru with an emphasis in Kundalinī Hatha Yoga. Since that time he has been studying and practicing Tibetan Dzogchen meditation and yoga. Settled in Costa Rica, Dharma Bodhi and his wife Sukhalaya dedicate their time to raising their family, personal practice and teaching the Oral-Practice Tradition of the Mahāsiddhas to small groups of students.
