The Passions and Virtues Part II
Spirituality Track Suitable for all students
Continuing this three-hour workshop, we will explore the Enneagrams of Passions
and Virtues and find out what guidance they can offer for our personal growth and
spiritual transformation. As we will see, the Passions are the emotional
atmospheres and motivating drives that inform our consciousness when we are
identified with our personality or ego. While one particular Passion is most
characteristic of each of the nine ennea-types, we will see how they are each
stumbling blocks and forms of suffering common to us all. Through finding and
experientially understanding the Passions within ourselves, it is possible to open to
the Virtues, those attitudes and qualities of felt experience that are beyond the
personality. We will explore how the Virtues, like the Passions, are universal—not
limited to one ennea-type—and how they are not only characteristics of
enlightened consciousness, but also, and perhaps more importantly, function as
orientations to support our unfoldment. This workshop will include a presentation,
interpersonal exercises to be done with other participants, and a discussion period.

Forgiveness and the Nine Types
Track: Spirituality For All Students
We cannot live without suffering, but we cannot suffer
without hoping or healing. Many people are hurting and
getting sick because of their inability to forgive. Being
able to forgive is not so much a gift to others as to
ourselves. Ultimately, not forgiving is doing more damage to ourselves than to
others. More than a single act, forgiveness is a process that enables us to heal the
past, change the framework of the present and open to live more fully in the future.
One of the factors that may significantly influence the relationship with forgiveness
is one’s personality type.
This workshop will address: the different dimensions of forgiveness; the
relationship between one’s type and the challenge of forgiveness; the way the
three centers (mind, gut, heart) relate to hurting and forgiveness; the struggle with
some feelings that may block or interfere with the healing process; the results of
research conducted in Italy and Spain with over 500 people, aimed at exploring
what trends or recurring tendencies the 9 types manifest relative to issues dealing
with hurt and forgiveness.
This presentation will include an experiential component to work with the issues
addressed.
A. Pangrazzi has a doctoral degree in Pastoral Theology from the International
Institute for the Theology of Pastoral Health Care, Camillianum, in Rome. He has
traveled extensively teaching the Enneagram, group dynamics, pastoral care of the
sick, and issues related to death, dying and grief. He is the author of over a dozen
books translated into Spanish, Portuguese, and Hungarian. He has been teaching
the Enneagram since the early 90s and is the President of AIE (Associazione Italiana
di Enneagramma) that counts about 150 members. He is a member of the IEA
Board.

Psychodramatic Facilitation of Morphic
Resonance Through Enneagram Style in
Bert Hellinger’s Constellation Encounters
Track: Psychology and Personal Development
Intermediate/advanced
Bert Hellinger’s systemic family constellation therapy
often produces profound shifts in the minds and hearts of the client and the
audience after witnessing the representatives Bert selects to constellate the
reconciliation process. A psychodramatist’s awareness of the Enneagram type of
both the client and the persons chosen as representatives in constellation
perpetrator/victim dramas frequently increases the speed, intensifies the depth,
and produces the field within which painful issues are recreated, joined, imaged,
externalized, and made available for reframing and hence integrating
transformation. Shifts from the passions toward the virtues in the client and the
audience are often thereby facilitated in these victim/perpetrator encounters.
It is assumed that the audience understands the dynamics of the movement of the
arrows in the direction of integration as it is this movement that seems to often be
facilitated by the process.
The theme of the sociodrama actually given will emerge from the field
sociometrically at the time of the presentation. Thus the presentation is intensely
experiential for those representing, and somewhat experiential for the observing
others. Group limited to 30 persons. Most of the participants will observe.
Please note: No one will be admitted to the workshop after 10 minutes past
the start time.
Joseph Matthew Pirone is a Professor of Psychology and Mentor in the Honors
Program at SUNY Rockland. In his advanced personality and social behavior
courses, he integrates Enneagramatic and soiciodramatic approaches to
understanding optimal and destructive human behavior. An Enneagram educator
as well as psychodramatist, sociodramatist, and family therapist for several
decades, he has drawn from these techniques to create a unique teaching and
learning experience in the psychology of hating, conflict resolving, and forgiving.
Dr. Pirone’s areas of research include the phenomenology of the alteration of states
of consciousness in psychological and spiritual healing. He has trained with Bert
Hellinger in the study of family constellations, applying the Hellinger work to the
resolving of hatred between religious and ethnic groups. Currently he and his
students are exploring the process of creating Internet-based collaborative
communities in the service of Peace, using interactive teleconferencing applications
that facilitate awareness of human suffering between groups. He is the Founder
