Jaxon-Bear, Eli: - Eli Jaxon-Bear started training therapists at Esalen Institute in 1983. He integrated Ericksonian and Clinical Hypnosis with his unique view of the psyche in developing a new method of psychotherapy. At the First International Enneagram Conference at Stanford University in 1992, Eli Jaxon-Bear presented a radically new model of the structure of the soul and psyche based on The Enneagram of Liberation. By joining self-inquiry with his map of ego fixation, he has presented a model for universal self-realization. He founded the Leela Foundation in 1995, and in 2005 he founded the Leela School of Awakening operating in Sydney, Australia, Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Ashland, Oregon in the US. He has been living with his partner and wife since 1976. They currently reside in Ashland, Oregon.
