This course meets in person from 10:00 am to 3:30 pm PST on Saturday, April 20th, 2024, and Sunday, April 21st, 2024.

The Enneagram is a system for self-discovery and growth rooted in both ancient Western mindfulness traditions and modern psychological theory. Working with the Enneagram helps us understand the underlying assumptions, beliefs, and motivations each of us brings to our understanding of reality and then move beyond these patterns to live more authentic, deliberate, and easeful lives.

The Enneagram can serve as a guide to your exploration of questions such as:

• Have you felt yourself “on repeat”, stuck in a pattern of behavior that doesn’t serve you but seems impossible to break?

• Have you wished you could understand why and how other people in your personal relationships see the world differently than you?

• Have you found yourself skeptical of traditional religious belief systems but still wanting to find purpose and meaning in your life?

• Have you wondered how to bring moments of calm and mindful presence out of meditation and into your “normal” life?

In this two-day workshop, Courtney Smith will teach the fundamental components of the Enneagram, including its origins; underlying theory, descriptions of the nine types; and some of its meaningful uses and applications. Courtney will use imagery, film and guided exercises along with traditional teaching methods so that participants leave with a full and compassionate understanding of the nine types, their gifts, and their challenges. This course is applicable to individuals interested in greater personal, relational, or spiritual development whether they are new to or already familiar with the Enneagram. Prior work with Courtney is not required, nor is prior knowledge of your own type.

Location information for the event will be provided upon registration.
