Freedom Workshop

The Enneagram and Integral Coaching, on:

The basics—orientation and first steps.

Many of us seek freedom and don’t have a clear path. In this new workshop Russ and James will draw on their decades of experience and generate fresh approaches, distinctions, observations, and practices. They are designing material and teaching they have never presented before.

Russ and James are donating their time to offer this unique event so that all proceeds go to benefitting the programs of Nested Integral Coaching Constellation. Join us for the Freedom Workshop, and enjoy an engaging workshop in a vibrant community, while supporting a good cause.

Freedom means bringing spontaneity, resourcefulness and creativity to each unique situation we encounter. It allows us to make our particular contribution and feel deep fulfillment and meaning. Freedom requires us to be quite present, unattached to our views and liberated from our habitual reactive patterns. It’s a quality and competence which generates joy, spaciousness and clarity.

Many of us seek freedom and don’t have a clear path. In this new workshop Russ and James will draw on their decades of experience and generate fresh approaches, distinctions, observations, and practices. They are designing material and teaching they have never presented before.

You will experience the vast possibilities freedom could open for you and see some ways you can begin cultivating it.

• You will be better able to recognize and support freedom when it appears in your life.
• You will have greater skill in noticing how you constrain freedom in your beliefs and actions.
• You will have greater understanding about first steps you can take in being more free.

One of the world’s top teachers and developers of the Enneagram personality typology, Russ Hudson has co-authored five best-selling books including the renowned The Wisdom of the Enneagram, and Personality Types. The Sounds True audiobook Nine Gateways to Presence is the most recent work.

In addition to 40 years of publishing, interviews, teaching and research, Russ developed a scientifically validated test instrument, the Riso-Hudson Type Indicator (RHETI), the leading standard test in the Enneagram field.

Russ is co-founder of the Enneagram Institute and President Emeritus, as well as a Founding Director and former Vice-President of the International Enneagram Association.

He initially encountered the Enneagram through the Gurdjieff Work and saw it as a map for personal development and awareness - more than merely a system for categorizing people.

Russ emphasizes the importance of cultivating presence and mindfulness as a foundation for authentic work with the Enneagram. The approach to aligning the study of the Enneagram with spiritual practice exponentially enhances the personal development process. It is Russ’ desire to bring these mutually compatible tools to greater public awareness.
Currently, Russ teaches mainly through his platform RussHudson.com, where you can find video on-demand classes, a free monthly practice newsletter, offerings, and upcoming events.

James Flaherty has more than 40 years of experience coaching top executives at

Fortune 500 companies, nonprofit organizations and government agencies. He is the author of Coaching: Evoking Excellence in Others, which is widely recognized as a seminal text in the field of coach education and is used internationally in universities and coach training institutions. His second book, Coaching Now, is being readied for publication.

James’s immense curiosity about people and life—and mostly about how to be useful to others—led him to develop the practical and customized methodology known as Integral Coaching®, a uniquely effective approach that integrates recent discoveries in biology, linguistics, developmental psychology, and twentieth-century philosophy. He founded New Ventures West, a premier coach training institute based in San Francisco that certifies coaches in this process, and the Integral Coaching methodology is now

also taught in London, Cape Town, Montréal, Geneva, Bogotá, and Singapore.

James is a Master Certified Coach through the International Coach Federation. He is a voracious reader and a longtime practitioner of Zen and qigong. He loves music, movies, and English Premier League football (aka soccer). He lives in San Francisco with his wife and business partner, Stacy, and has an adult daughter whom he adores.
