Description: The Enneagram is a dynamic system of 9 personality types. It is meant to help us understand ourselves, the people in our lives, and our relationship to greater realities that guide us. How well in tune we are with our internal state, or how self-aware we are has a strong influence on how we ‘do’ conflict. With a better understanding of conscious motivations, we can reduce our personal reactivity and better handle difficult situations.

Participants first take a short Enneagram inventory, then break into small groups to share strengths, weaknesses, and to discuss conflict experiences. Louise Phipps Senft leads the workshop in the narrative tradition, so attendees can deepen their learning with others. Participants will come away with a deeper understanding of self and other relationships in their lives. If you are looking to improve your relationships with individuals that matter the most, whether it be children, parents, family members, or co-workers, the Enneagram workshop is an invaluable experience.

Description: The Enneagram is a dynamic system of 9 personality types. It is meant to help us understand ourselves, the people in our lives, and our relationship to greater realities that guide us. How well in tune we are with our internal state, or how self-aware we are has a strong influence on how we ‘do’ conflict. With a better understanding of conscious motivations, we can reduce our personal reactivity and better handle difficult situations.

Participants first take a short Enneagram inventory, then break into small groups to share strengths, weaknesses, and to discuss conflict experiences. Louise Phipps Senft leads the workshop in the narrative tradition, so attendees can deepen their learning with others. Participants will come away with a deeper understanding of self and other relationships in their lives. If you are looking to improve your relationships with individuals that matter the most, whether it be children, parents, family members, or co-workers, the Enneagram workshop is an invaluable experience.
