Kernel of Truth

Welcome to kerneloftruth.net !

Kernel: heart, essence, core, soul.

Within each of us lives our own kernel of truth. This truth, our core, our essence, is known through our direct experience. Though no other person can give that to us, wise guidance and the right conditions can heat up this kernel. We can recognize and nourish the kernel within us and invite its authentic flavor into our lives.

This website will give you information on Enneagram groups, Hypnotherapy and reading material that can be a resource for your own journey of self discovery.

Who we are:

This website, itself a new kernel beginning to open, is being developed by Mani Feniger and Michael Gardner. Mani, Clinical Hypnotherapist, has been providing counseling and teaching workshops in many different venues since 1981. She is author of the popular self-help book, Journey from Anxiety to Freedom, which draws from her own personal experience of facing the challenges of panic and phobias.

Michael Gardner, Ph.D., is a scientist and Enneagram pioneer. He participated in the early Seekers of Truth Group in Berkeley in 1970, and built on this initial Enneagram experience with his own research and observations.

Together as life partners and co-teachers, Mani and Michael have taught Enneagram groups in the Bay Area for over twenty years. Their work is informed by their journeys with many wise teachers, including Osho, Sri Poonjaji, Thich Nhat Hanh, Adyashanti, and Pema Chödrön. They combine practical tools with awareness, compassion and humor.
