Presence vs Autopilot
An Enneagram of Presence Workshop Series
PRESENCE IN PIVOTAL PATTERNS Interactive Workshops
These workshops focus the spotlight of presence on pivotal autopilot patterns that one can easily fall asleep in. These are 1-day workshops to bring perspective, clarity, and a little more freedom from one key pattern at a time.
In these workshops we explore a few things that influence us in keeping those patterns running. These may be internal or external influences that we are often blind to or have felt powerless to change. We look at the consequences of those patterns (eg. accommodation / conflict-avoidance etc.), the impact (healthy and unhealthy) on ourselves and others, the strategy and hidden agendas behind those patterns (often a blind spot), and the difference between activating those patterns from a state of presence rather than asleep on autopilot.
Perspective and Context
- are we talking about the same thing?
- definitions...
- what is the environment we are dealing with?
- broader contexts...
- can these patterns be healthy?
- healthy vs unhealthy expressions
- what's going on behind the scenes?
- driving forces behind the use of the pattern
(See specific workshops below, for more detailed overview.)

A Deep Dive into the Autopilot Pattern of Accommodation
-
"It's so easy to just go along... saves me the hard work of choosing for myself..."
ASLEEP IN AUTOPILOT ACCOMMODATION -
"Looking back, I must have agreed to this, but... And now it's too late."
ASLEEP IN AUTOPILOT ACCOMMODATION -
"It is easy to recognise and accommodate everyone else's preferences and needs. Everyone but myself..."
ASLEEP IN AUTOPILOT ACCOMMODATION -
"How did I land up here?? I am exhausted!"
ASLEEP IN AUTOPILOT ACCOMMODATION -
"Sure... I can be there for that. No problem, whenever you like..." (Shew, I just did it again!)
ASLEEP IN AUTOPILOT ACCOMMODATION -
"As long as you are happy... "
ASLEEP IN AUTOPILOT ACCOMMODATION
Saturday, 11 March 2023
The focus of the day, is on how we fall asleep within the pattern and strategy of being accommodating, the consequences of that, the reasons behind that, the necessity of breaking out of the sleepwalking state within that, and how to engage the pattern in a healthy, awake manner, from a state of presence.
We take a closer look at what is normal and healthy, and the value of that. The exploration will move to how individuals are using this pattern as a way to compensate or defend against something else, and if we are asleep to that - the misunderstandings, injuries and pain that is caused.
The goal is to provide more perspective, clarity and resource for each participant, so that they may have more room to consciously navigate life-situations with or without the strategy of being accommodating, from a place of greater presence, aware of the impact of their presence.
Perspective and Context
- Definition of "accommodation", "to accommodate", "over-accommodate": Are we all talking about the same thing?
- A look at social and cultural influence
- Participants personal reality of over-accommodating in their own lives:
- What is it like in my experience?
- How does this pattern affect me?
- How often am I in a healthy range? When am I not? How do I know?
- Participants personal driving forces:
- If I am honest, what is the underlying motive/drive being camouflaged by these patterns?
- How often am I aware of that?
- Insights from the enneagram perspective
- What next -
- Now that I have more perspective and clarity, and possibly more room to maneuver, how do I apply today's insights practically in my life?
Workshop Intensity Level Rating
| Low | Moderate | High | Very High | Extreme | |||||
This workshop is rated as moderate, to moderate-high intensity levels.
This rating is a conglomerate assessment of a number of factors and the degree to which participants can be expected to draw on their resources. Some of these components include demand on time, need for privacy, need to step out of everyday routine, mental energy, emotional energy, physical energy, stamina, concentration, capacity to allow change, depths being accessed (from surface to very deep) and changes in levels of consciousness (shift from minimal to significant), degree of blind-spot work, the need for rest before the workshop and the need for rest and recovery after the workshop.
Each person is different and will experience things differently, depending as well on their state of being and energy levels at the time of the workshop. However, in general, this workshop will demand a fair degree of energy to get the full benefit from it.
It will be a very saturated day, and the time will go by very quickly. We will be concentrating into one day, what can be easily be spread over a week. Coming in prepared for this, is helpful. (As a side note - this is another reason the DIY module is included - so that one can relax into the experience of the day without need to try and remember it all or get it all in one go.)
There are workshop guidelines included on the booking page, are also useful in preparing for the day.
1:1 Solo Workshop Option:
This is an option for anyone not able to attend the live-workshop. Obviously, it is not a replacement for the group workshop and one will not have the momentum and power that group work provides to efficiently tackle the task at hand in the shortest time. However, a 1:1 solo workshop has it's advantages and can be of great benefit.
For participants who have experienced the live workshop and wish to include an additional 1:1 component, they have that option available on request.

Supplemental Resource for Live-Workshop Participants:
Participants have access to this component, if available. This can be used to review key themes and perspectives that will be covered in the workshop, revisit selected replay segments from workshop, as well as additional material that we were not able to include in the live-workshop due to time constraints.
The live-workshops are designed to be hands on and experiential, with a priority on providing space and time to process information and shifts in a way that is deeper than surface level mental engagement. At a later time, once that has integrated to an extent, to revisit and reinforce the information, insights and perspectives, is very useful.
Some of what will be included:
Workshop replay:
This is not a replay of the full workshop. Only selected segments will be included, mainly from the teaching segments or discussion with the teachers, that does not include active participants interaction.
Additional Content:
- Interviews and discussions that were recorded for this course, but not included in the live-workshop.
- A section addressing perspectives, insights, requests and questions, that may have come up during the live-workshop.
- Awareness exercises to pull out of the autopilot mode and stay present when these patterns get activated.

A Deep Dive into the Autopilot Avoidance Strategies
-
"Woah, that's outside my comfort zone, autopilot u-turn in progress..."
ASLEEP IN AUTOPILOT AVOIDANCE -
"Conflict? Oh yes, I am the master at avoiding that! How? Well, I have my ways..."
ASLEEP IN AUTOPILOT AVOIDANCE -
"Deep feelings? Who me? Definitely worth avoiding!"
ASLEEP IN AUTOPILOT AVOIDANCE -
"To avoid criticism - yes, absolutely worth it... "
ASLEEP IN AUTOPILOT AVOIDANCE -
"To avoid commitments like this, I have many tricks up my sleeve!"
ASLEEP IN AUTOPILOT AVOIDANCE -
"My comfort zone is familiar and well practiced, why do I need to go outside that?"
ASLEEP IN AUTOPILOT AVOIDANCE -
"I did not have to avoid that? Well, well, who'd have guessed this day would come..."
ASLEEP IN AUTOPILOT AVOIDANCE
Saturday, 19th August 2023
The focus of this workshop is on how we fall asleep while using default avoidance strategies to remain in our comfort zones. Some of these strategies are so practiced, efficient and naturalised that over time they drop into our blind spot and run on autopilot, whether or not they are really necessary.
In this workshop, you will have a chance to bring awareness back to your favourite avoidance strategies, to the sensitive areas that you are using them in (ie - what are you avoiding), and bring back choice so that you can be more present going forward, with when and where these strategies are necessary and when they are not. It may be a relief and a surprise to discover that one is presently fully capable of handling certain things (eg. certain "conflicts") directly, and that avoidance is not as necessary as it once was in the past. It may also, of course be rather shocking and unnerving to realise how many things are being avoided (and what those things are) on autopilot.
If you are signing up for the adventure that this day promises, come prepared with an open mind and be ready for the unexpected, including a little fun along the way as we travel the path of the day.

A Deep Dive into the Autopilot Pattern of Autonomy
-

"I prefer my independence. But sometimes, I admit it can get lonely... and difficult..."
ASLEEP IN AUTOPILOT AUTONOMY -

"If I am autonomous, I am in control. That works for me."
ASLEEP IN AUTOPILOT AUTONOMY -

ASLEEP IN AUTOPILOT AUTONOMY
Saturday, 04th November 2023
The focus of this workshop is on how we fall asleep within the pattern and strategy of being autonomous, the reasons and hidden agendas behind that as a strategy, the cost when using that inappropriately or in an unhealthy sleepwalking state, and how to engage the pattern in a healthy, awake manner, from a state of presence.
We take a closer look at what is normal and healthy, and the value of that. The exploration will move to how individuals are using this pattern as a way to compensate or defend against something else, and if we are asleep to that - the misunderstandings, injuries and pain that is caused.
The goal is to provide more perspective , clarity and resource for each participant, so that they may have more room to consciously navigate life-situations with healthy, appropriate use of the autonomy pattern, from a place of greater presence, with awareness of the impact of their presence.
Perspective and Context
- Definition of "autonomy", "being autonomous"
- A look at social and cultural expectations
- Participants personal reality of autonomy in their own lives:
- What is it like in my experience?
- How does this pattern affect me?

Questions that one may have, but not get around to asking...
Ironically, you will find yourself in good company, with the sympathy of others that share your experience of this. Group work is daunting and difficult for quite a few people.
Here is our recommendation, don't think about it too much. Wait till you are there, and then allow the process to guide you into a zone that's comfortable enough, regarding the group. The workshops are designed to take this into consideration.
Although participants are expected to interact and engage, we are also very alert and sensitive to each individual's readiness and boundaries and are always responsive and respectful of that. You can determine for yourself, how far you are able to go with yourself and with others.
Each individual is unique and takes in the experience differently. So if, at any time during the process, you are experiencing difficulty that is really interfering with your experience, just let us know and we will help you out.
On the encouraging side... even for those that are clear that group work is not their favourite thing, they do often pitch up anyway because they have found that the group energy and exposure often helps fast-track certain things. The mirroring, similar or different perspectives from others, glimpses into others' experiences of the same challenges... all this provides insights, break-through opportunites, clarity, opportunites for understanding and compassion. And perhaps, most importantly, a chance to recognise and remember again, that you are not alone on the journey.
And if all this is not enough to overcome the dread of group work, you still have the option of the stand-alone DIY self-study module, on this topic. And / or the option to request a 1:1 workshop or programme for yourself.
Privacy for yourself in these workshops is crucial.
If you think the space you will be using will compromise your privacy, check the following:
Step 1: Really consider your options again.
- have you overlooked alternative venues?
- have explicitly asked your your family (or friends) for their support? (This is often side-stepped because it feels uncomfortable and too much to ask for. However, it may be a very necessary step for you in your own progress, to be able to do that. Very often, they will volunteer to take themselves out for the day, or give you the room you need for the few hours of the programme. If you don't ask, you won't know.)
Step 2: Make the best of it.
- Only if you have really checked off step one.
- Let us know as well, that you are in such a position, so that we will take that into consideration during the workshop.
- Earphones are a must... this would be for the protection of the other participants. But also, to give you a way to block out some of the outside distractions.
- Position yourself in such a way that you are screened from people walking past. You may want to use a temporary screen of some sort to do that.
If it really is a situation where you cannot concentrate and others have some demand on your attention, it may not be a good idea to take on this programme. It will not be fair on yourself. However, if that really is the situation, please discuss with us, and perhaps together, we can come up with a workable solution or alternative.
Yes, you can attend the Saturday workshop. On this day we will be exploring the topic from a broader perspective that is relevant to everyone, even if they are uncertain of their enneagram type or unfamiliar with the enneagram framework.
The more type specific programmes however, may be unsuitable for you. However, please do contact us and discuss your situation, so that we can advise you more specifically. There are, for example, some situations where - given enough time, your enneagram typing can be done and you can potentially qualify for the more specific programmes.
You will have access to the replay of certain segments of the workshop, via the review module that is included in this programme. This will, however, not be a full replay of the workshop. However, not to worry, whatever else one may feel the need to review, will be provided in the supplementary post workshop review module.
The segments that are made available for replay are usually teaching segments or discussions with the teachers, that does not include participant interaction. The careful editing prior to release is to protect the privacy of the participants.
Except in very particular circumstances, participants themselves are not permitted to record. Not only would that be a breach in trust for all concerned, but it is also usually unnecessary. These workshops are designed to be experiential. Unlike webinars and academic presentations, these workshops are to be relaxed into, so that information can be received naturally, via all domains of intelligence. It would not serve much purpose to have the full workshop replay. It is much more important to be fully present when there, and take in the experience in the moment, in such a way that it lasts.
As a standing policy, all workshops are reviewed by the programme director and authorised QR team, to assess outcome and quality, to plan for improvements and future programmes, to address requests and feedback from participants. The workshop recording essential to this process.
Over and above this general reason, specifically in relation to this workshop, recordings will be used to:
- make available selected replay segments for inclusion in post-workshop review module
- revisit participant comments and feedback that may have come up, to address either with them personally or to include discussion of these in the the supplementary post-workshop module
- summarise key themes and perspectives that were covered in the workshop
- to identify potential gaps in the workshop (eg. due to time constraints), that can be covered or addressed in the supplementary module
NB -- All recordings are strictly managed by the programme director, who is the only one who has access. Recordings are saved directly onto a local hard-drive, in a secure system. Any replay material provided is carefully edited to maintain participant confidentiality, and access to any replays are restricted to authorised participants only, within the parameters of the programme they are participating in.
Surprisingly, the virtual-online platform can also provide a depth of experience that is rich and fulfilling. Obviously, the experience is not the same, as it would be in an in-person setting, and one can miss experience of being in a venue with others. However, we have found from experience and feedback from participants, that they have often been surprised at how deep their experiences are, and the level of connection and support with the facilitators and the group. Interestingly, the lack of physical venue helps one focus on the "energetic venue" that everyone is experiencing.
If this is your first experience with a Quantum Radiance online workshop, come and try it for yourself. We would welcome your feedback on this point.

- Sometimes one may prefer not to use PayPal (especially if it is enforcing paypal account setups, which may happen in certain regions). If this is the case, use the PayFast gateway instead.
- To use the PayFast gateway the currency must be switched to ZAR. This can be done on the checkout page (option is just below the checkout button at the bottom of the page). The equivalent ZAR amount will be displayed, and you can check out using your debit or credit card.
Firstly, greetings!
There are a few things to be aware of.
- The USD : ZAR exchange rate sometimes becomes quite steep. So please do use the Quantum Radiance Angel Fund to reduce the fee to a comfortable amount.
- On the checkout page, convert the currency to ZAR (below the [PROCEED TO CHECKOUT] button).
- This will give you the Rand value.
- This will also give you the option for EFT, if you do not want to go through PayFast.
Affordability Challenges:
If the pricing is still difficult to cover, even with the Angel Fund options available on this booking page, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will try our best to accommodate you, and make sure you can attend if it as all possible.
