Episode Synopsis
Podcast Series: The Enneagram Map to Your Deeper Self: A Book Club Series Host: Alicia Divers | Somatic Practitioner & Enneagram Teacher Guest Author: Sandra Smith 🎙️ In This Episode: We begin our six-week journey through Sandra Smith's The Enneagram Map to Your Deeper Self by slowing down and starting exactly where the book does—with presence. In this opening episode, Alicia reflects on what presence means somatically, spiritually, and personally. Through story, teaching, and a guided body-based practice, she explores why presence is the foundation for all meaningful change—and why the Enneagram is more than a personality typing system. You'll learn: Why presence matters more than insight What the passion of Type Eight (lust) feels like in the body How somatic work creates space between impulse and choice Why the pause is where transformation begins Whether you're new to the Enneagram or already know your number, this episode invites you to return to the moment—and to yourself. Reflection Question: What does presence feel like in your body—and what helps you return to it?
