Mini Workshops

These 90-minute workshops are designed to be interactive in three parts: teaching, small group discussion, and large group sharing. Not all workshops available are listed, so if there is a topic you are interested in exploring, please contact me to discuss further!

How Fear and Love talk through our Enneagram Types

Our basic response to life and all we encounter come from either a place of Love or a place of Fear. What does it mean to respond out of Love? What does it mean to respond out of Fear? Knowing this enables us to choose our response with more awareness.

Using Our Wings to Balance and Fly

The Enneagram does not suggest there is just one way a type is expressed in the world. Along with our core type we have access to the gifts and defensive strategies of our wings. Learn how to do so for the best results.

Living In The Now

Right now. This is what we have, this is where we are. We are in a time that is unprecedented. In this workshop, we find new ways of coping as we explore the wisdom of the Law of Three and The Law of Seven, found tucked within the Enneagram symbol.

Using our Arrows to Construct the Best Plan Forward

What we bring to our moments of stress and what we have access to as our best selves can powerfully affect how we operate and make a significant impact on our day-to-day experiences. Exploring how to use the types represented by our arrows to help us we determine what we need in order to move forward in the best way.

Why and How We Protect Ourselves by Throwing Others Under the Bus (and Finding Something New)

Manipulation, controlling, and other fearful responses plague us and others and rarely lead to peace. But how do we let go of these temptations? We will explore the forces that attempt to convince us of our need to be the “last one standing,” and what it requires to find a new way.

Naming Our Fear of the Dark; Jumping Over the Poison River

We, in partnership with our ego, work overtime to avoid the dark, what we believe threatens our safety. As these beliefs become entrenched the result has us moving about in very limited spaces. The Enneagram continually invites us to both consider these beliefs anew and then expand our territory. We will explore what this invitation asks of us and what it offers us.

Busting the Myths We Believe that Hold Us Back

Because we began young and small so many of our beliefs were born of immature thinking and believing. While this is to be expected the resulting thinking and believing does not need to be forever supported. We are able, in the present, to re-visit them and search further to find truths that enlarge space and opportunity for us.
