San Francisco, CA, September 05, 2007 --(

The Integral Enneagram Institute opened it doors in San
Francisco this month. Its courses are designed by Founding
Director Ian J. Blei, and are based on the culmination of
decades of exploration, study and practical application. The
Institute’s purpose is the development and delivery of practical
curricula designed to increase awareness and consciousness.
Inspired by the premise that greed, aggression, and violence are
functions of under-developed consciousness, not widespread
psychological pathologies, the Integral Enneagram Institute will
be dedicated to exploring, developing, and providing
methodologies for accelerating this development of consciousness
in people everywhere.
Starting in the 1970’s while
still in high school, Mr. Blei developed the beginnings of the
Integral Enneagram Model, using a vision of consciousness as the
interaction and integration of three different processing
centers, rather than a singular entity. Seeing how this created
different learning styles in different people, Blei incorporated
this variation of styles in his approaches with clients
throughout college and his career as a business re-engineering
and management consultant.
Mr. Blei continued working
on this model, adding and synthesizing aspects from hundreds of
existing models, while testing his theories working in
real-world business situations. Successfully assisting widely
disparate clients to achieve their goals proved the “Multi-Path
Model” viable to Mr. Blei, who states: “Founding the Institute
creates an entity capable of developing and providing
individualized programs of this quality on a larger scale for
more people.”
Mr. Blei added, “What differentiates
the Integral Enneagram Institute is the development of different
methodologies for different learning styles, thus increasing the
absorption and effectiveness of the learning. Coursework and
studies will emulate the natural evolution of consciousness,
merely at an accelerated pace.”
The Institute
provides unique opportunities for personal growth and a level of
consciousness that encompasses holding multiple perspectives,
and a vision of unity that replaces the “self-centered
motivations” driving greed, aggression, and violence. The
Institute’s commitment to facilitating the development of
consciousness aims to directly affect a shift away from these
issues on a global level. The curricula allows for individuals
to learn the methodologies and applications, with the further
opportunity to become teachers themselves. The primary goal for
Mr. Blei and the Integral Enneagram Institute is to inspire the
pursuit of higher consciousness as a popular and global
phenomenon.
