      The author studies the negative gradient flow of the spinorial energy functional on \(3\)-dimensional Berger spheres. He proves that for some class of spinors the Berger sphere collapse to a \(2\)-dimensional sphere. He also proves that for some special cases the volume normalized standard \(3\)-sphere together with a Killing spinor is a stable critical point of the volume normalized version of the flow.
