About the Author

At the First International Enneagram Conference at Stanford University in 1992 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. Linking this teaching with Pythagorus, he found the mystery school that he was searching for for over forty years. In 2005 he founded the Leela School of Awakening operating in Sydney, Australia, Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Ashland, Oregon in the US. He continues to lead retreats around the world.. He has been living with his partner and wife since 1976. They currently reside in Ashland, Oregon. Eli meets people and teaches through the Leela Foundation www.leela.org, and The Leela School of Awakening www.leelaschool.org
