Course Description

  • The Enneagram is a multidimensional, psycho-spiritual instrument; non-secular in nature, composed of universal principles allowing for its applicability to all traditions. Often described as a personality-typing tool, the Enneagram has been in use for thousands of years and has served as a valuable resource for large organizations such as the CIA and the Vatican. Learning about the Enneagram will deepen mental health practitioners’ understanding of the people they care for. Participants will gain valuable understanding of how this knowledge impacts and can be applied to their work with their clients, as well as to their personal and professional relationships, and how to integrate the newly acquired insights for optimal growth.
