​Riding the Fire Horse is an Enneagram-based workshop for navigating high-intensity seasons without burnout. By bringing awareness to how your system, including your ego responds to pressure, and learning simple embodied regulation practices, you can maintain momentum, clarity, and vitality—even when life moves fast.

The Fire Horse year amplifies speed, ambition, and impact. Each Enneagram type responds differently to this level of intensity—some push harder, some scatter, some withdraw, and others freeze. By combining the Enneagram with Qigong practices, participants learn how to recognize their conditioned patterns of thinking, feeling and doing and can learn to interrupt those patterns to flow with more ease and vitality. From an Enneagram perspective, burnout is a predictable outcome of running your patterns and your type’s strategies for too long. Rather than trying to override these patterns, participants learn to recognize their type’s burnout pathway and work with it through embodied Qigong practices. By regulating the nervous system, and softening fixation under stress, each type can sustain engagement without self-abandonment.
