Achieve a deeper and richer craft by knowing yourself better.9-night residential training with accommodation in North Wales using the Enneagram to enhance your creative practice.
Whether you are an actor, a writer, or a maker of any kind, your work depends on you as a person. This retreat empowers you to understand yourself with generosity and bring that understanding to your craft.
The Enneagram is a model of the human psyche that will teach you to understand your creative practice and loosen the parts of you that are stuck. Interested? Speak with Steph if you have any questions. Booking information can be found here: link.
You are a writer.
Your ability to question and be critical is key to your practice. Without the critical voice in your head, you would not be able to hone the words that make action happen. Similarly, without doubt and uncertainty, you would not be able to dive into the exploration that writing demands. All of these are vital. But, the questioning and your critical voice can, however, swing too far the other way. Your creative brain suddenly has you getting in your own way. Maybe you know the feeling? It might look like:
Your constant doubt may be getting in the way of your process of discovery. Rather than exploring, you're second-guessing your choices. You fear failure so never truly dive into your full potential. Most writers struggle with some, or all, of these barriers. It's normal to start here. But you don't have to be stuck there. My dear writer, it's time to get out of your own way. You're a (theatre)maker.
You take a blank page or an empty room and make something exist that didn't exist before. Not only do you have the massive satisfaction of creating something, you are also the who plots the journey for other people, including actors, producers, directors, and designers. You make it happen. With that comes a great deal of responsibility and dealing with the constraints of funding, having to deliver and produce to a deadline, and living up to the standards of others. What if you were given a space to engage with your craft without constraints?

What's the Enneagram?The Enneagram is a powerful and profound model for understanding archetypal patterns in human nature. It is sometimes described as
“a map of the human soul”. The Enneagram itself is a synthesis of wisdom and insights from diverse spiritual traditions combined with the clarity and precision of modern psychology. It describes 9 basic personality types and their variations and interrelationships. It offers practical insights for deepening our self-awareness and helping us to be more effective and fulfilled in our day-to-day lives. The Enneagram also offers us a deep invitation to explore the mystery of who we really are, beyond the personality we have taken ourselves to be for so many years. Vertical Divider

Henrie works as an innovative coach and trainer and her passion is helping people to discover their innate depth and potential in a way that enriches their lives at work and beyond.
She began her career as a successful research scientist, and became fascinated by how people learn, work together and evolve. Having changed fields, she now has more than 20 years experience delivering powerful self-awareness, and personal development programmes to professionals within widely differing contexts. In 2000 she sought out the renowned Enneagram teachers Don Riso and Russ Hudson, and began her training with them in 2001. Finding the Enneagram to be the most profound doorway to self awareness, personal evolution and fulfilment, she later committed to the rigorous trainer accreditation programme and was delighted to be awarded her Accredited Enneagram Trainer status, with Honours in 2013. (A certification she values even more highly than her Ph.D.) |
She is also an mBIT Master Coach and Trainer, and loves introducing people to the neuroscience behind their gut feelings and intuitive knowing, so that they can rediscover and trust their embodied intelligences.
She has also been teaching and innovating in the field of Neurolinguistic Programming since 1999. In 2004 she qualified as one of only a handful of INLPTA NLP Master Trainers in the UK. She has co-trained with Dr Wyatt Woodsmall (the founder of INLPTA) on more than 14 International NLP Trainer Trainings. She has also researched the efficacy of NLP in health care (palliative care/MRI Radiography), and in mental health.
Her coaching and training are supported by the ongoing study and personal practice of the cognitive, emotional and somatic tools she teaches. She has been a student in the Ridhwan School since 2010, is happily married, lives in West Yorkshire, dabbles in stained glass, and is owned by a cat.

Stephanie Morgan
INLPTA NLP Practitioner, mBIT Master Coach & Meisner Specialist
|
I am mum of two small humans, a theatre director, acting coach, INLPTA certified Neuro Linguistic Programming Practitioner and mBIT (Multiple Brain Integration Techniques) Master Coach and have worked and coached all over the UK and across the seas.
I run Both Feet Actor Training and am a specialist in The Meisner Technique which is a training technique designed to guide actors out of their heads and into the present moment so they can be fearless, impulsive, instinctual and honest. A stranger once asked me “how do you teach actors how to act?” A question I’d never asked myself. I thought for a few minutes and then I said to him that I don’t train actors to “act”, really what I do is help them notice and strip back their programmed responses so they can be truly open, truthful and available to do their job. Every element of what I do on a day to day basis directly influences and infuses the rest so there’s no clear line between my work with actors, my personal coaching work and even my job as a human, a wife, a friend and a mum. |
So much of what I do isn’t just acting related, it’s human related which is why I began to extend my work out beyond actors. We all need to know how to look after ourselves, how to listen to ourselves (and others!), how to be ok with everything we’re full of so it can all move the way it was born to. And we all need those tools to help get us through the highs and lows of life.
Henrie introduced & trained Steph in NLP, mBIT & Enneagram so you can be sure they're on the same page.
