              Michael Naylor, CCS, M.ED, LADC
     Certified Enneagram Teacher/Consultant








Michael Naylor is an Authorized Enneagram Teacher who is trained by Don
Riso and Russ Hudson of the Enneagram Institute, the global leaders of
Enneagram education.  He is a Faculty Member of the Enneagram Institute
and facilitates Part 1 seven-day trainings.  He utilizes the
Enneagram for his personal transformation, in his consulting with individual
clients nationally, and in his work with individuals recovering from addictions.
He currently does workshops in the United States and Canada, and will be
doing workshops internationally in the near future.  He also co-facilitates
Courageous Men’s Intimacy Groups with Stephen Andrew at the Health,
Education and Training Institute in Portland, Maine. He is a Licensed Alcohol
and Drug Counselor and Certified Clinical Supervisor, has his Master's
degree in Health Education from the University of Maine in Orono, and a B.S.
in Psychology and Physical Education. He is the past Clinical Supervisor of
Serenity House locatedin Portland, a residential treatment facility for men
recovering from addiction where he worked for fifteen years. He has spent
26 years in the field of addiction, has a private practice in Portland, and has
worked extensively with men’s spiritual, emotional, physical and psychological
transformation. He has studied a wide array of health and transformation
approaches including Buddhism, the Gurdjieff work, the Forum, Breathe
work, Chinese Goju martial arts, Dance and Movement, Yoga, Diamond
Heart work, Writing, Essence work with the Inspiration Community in
Baltimore, and a variety of meditation practices. He has found that the
repetitious suffering individuals experience, be it the emotional, mental, and
physical constrictions and the ensuing addictions that follow, result from a
lack of knowledge regarding one's Enneagram Type. That is, the habitual
responses of one's personality type which are unconsciously employed to
block suffering, continue to cause suffering.  The core misunderstanding of
each Enneagram Type (there are nine) unconsciously spins them on a
wheel of repetitious suffering and emotional/psychological reactivity, cutting
them off from their innate joy, aliveness, inner knowing, spontaneity, and a
felt sense of deep and unwavering value.  The Enneagram is a map and
doorway to their return to real freedom.  He lives with his beloved wife,
Donna, an art educator and teacher.  He also is graced by two delightful and
inspiring step-kids, and a wonderful daughter.

More on Michael Naylor: (go to www.enneagrammaine.com to learn about his
work and trainings). If you love MI and its potential to assist clients in waking
up to their innate motivation to become healthy, you will absolutely love the
Enneagram, whose purpose is to further inspire the innate motivation of any
individual (client or counselor) to become their best, finest, healthiest, most
creative and genuine self. You could say that the Enneagram is MI for the
deep self, dedicated to assisting individuals in waking up their capacity to
transcend and heal unnecessary and addictive suffering, whether it be to a
substance, an emotional or mental habit, or a deeply learned unconscious
pattern of moving in the opposite direction of what generates love, impacting
engagement with life, deep self-worth, strength, and the innate capacity to
thrive and be fully oneself.
