New Book Launch
Finding Freedom
Understanding Our Relationships Using Object Relations and the Enneagram
This book is a life-changing exploration based on well-researched concepts and tools developed with students of the Enneagram. Finding Freedom offers everyone a chance to deepen their understanding of Enneagram types through the lens of Object Relations theory.
Teaching and Guiding Practices for Living an Awakened Life
Wisdom teachers throughout millennia have reminded us that we are living in a dream state. We misunderstand the nature of Reality and believe the world of the ego is all there is. The spiritual journey has always been about waking up.
My focus is teaching and guiding practices for living the awakened life.
In coaching, workshops, and yearlong trainings my work brings together the Enneagram, the practice of Presence, Ancient Ritual Postures, and art as an expression of the personal and collective spiritual journey.
Review for Finding Freedom
“This book is revolutionary in its approach, redefining what it is to fully love someone, to have a relationship based on true freedom. If you want relationships that are more than just sustainably ordinary, relationships that are truly restorative, this book is a must-read.”
— Diana Redmond, Experiential Learning Director, DeepLivingLab
Belinda Gore, Ph.D. is an inspired teacher as well as a psychologist, a coach, and an artist. The basis of her spiritual teaching is a practice that uses ancient ritual postures from the artwork of indigenous people around the world to access the world of spirit. It is the subject of three of her books and much of her art.
She is also an expert in the Enneagram, teaching workshops internationally and virtual courses online. Her area of special interest is the development of personality through relationships as understood through Object Relations theory.
Belinda is also chair of the board of directors of The Great Circle Alliance, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to offer public programs encouraging and strengthening the contemporary human voice and community presence in the ancient monumental indigenous sites of Ohio. Great Circle Alliance works to raise awareness and encourage contemporary Native voices, bringing human presence back into what was once a vibrant sophisticated culture.

Collage
I was introduced to Soul Collage several years ago and was drawn to the magic of small collages. My own use of this art form is to engage deep wisdom and express it visually, where the sequences of collages unfold like a dream. In collage workshops, inner exploration is expressed through this simple and lovely art form.
Upcoming Events
Workshops, online classes, and conference presentations are my opportunity to pass along the wisdom and information that are most meaningful to me. My teaching focus, which combines content and experiential learning, is on ancient ritual postures as well as the use of the Enneagram in coaching.
