The Levels of Development (LOD), one of the most profound contemporary contributions to the Enneagram field and identified by Don Riso and Russ Hudson, explains the vertical dimension to the personality types.

The Levels help us track our movement along a continuum toward more freedom, consciousness, expansiveness, and Being in the higher Levels (or toward more reactivity and self-destructiveness in the lower ones). By introducing this "vertical axis" to the types, the Levels explain some of the most important things that we find in human nature — fluidity and change, resistance and conflict, freedom and compulsion — among many human qualities. Working with the Levels points us to where we are in our journey of growth, and guides us toward greater health and transformation.

In this workshop, you can expect to:

• Recognize the dynamics of the psychological and spiritual movement in your life that are explained through the Enneagram.
• Awaken to inner personal cues that guide you to higher levels of health.
• Experience a deep grounding in presence, through the teachings, exercises, music, and meditation.
• Work with the Enneagram in advanced ways that facilitate practical applications in your professional and personal life.

The Levels of Development bring extraordinary power to our inner journeys. The Riso-Hudson innovation is the only Enneagram work to be specifically endorsed by Ken Wilber, who has stated that only with this vertical dimension taken into account does the Enneagram system move toward being a complete psychology.
