Heart Work:
Defence Mechanisms of the Enneagram
In-Person and ONLINE with Dale Bially
3 Monday Evenings: June 15, 22, 29, 2026
Come and Reconnect to your Heart!
We all come in to this world with unique gifts and equally unique ways of uncovering them. The compulsions of my enneagram space helps me see where my patterned behaviour is, but what about my work on meeting my heart?
Defence mechanisms are shock absorbers or buffers, that protect us from the big reactions we meet as we live our lives. They are coping strategies that smooth out our experiences of anxiety, shame, anger, sadness, etc.
Over three 2.5-hour sessions we will shine a light on those times where our unique defence pattern helps us skip over our hearts and creates an inauthentic response to the people we love, cutting us off from opportunities to grow.
This event is offered through the Inscapes Centre for Enneagram Studies
The cost for this event is $150 + GST
Dale Bially has worked extensively with the enneagram in his professional and personal life since 1993. Under the guidance of my mentors Carol Ann Gotch and David Walsh (students of Bob Ochs), he completed the Enntrain: Inspirited and Embodied Enneagram training program in 2012 and began teaching workshops and study groups with Inscapes Centre for Enneagram Studies. In 2012 he began working with the leadership team of Prairie Jubilee, to train spiritual directors and help other seekers find the truth of whom they are and how to live differently making our world a better place.
