This powerful, in-depth training provides a hands-on learning experience on how to conduct typing interviews and to assist others in determining their Enneagram type through inquiry. This training brings a deep and compassionate understanding of – and respect for – the complexity of each Enneagram type. You also will learn the keys to differentiating one type from another, and how to conduct panels in the Narrative Tradition.

This workshop is designed for coaches, therapists, spiritual directors, teachers, business leaders and others who wish to deepen their knowledge of the Enneagram and use it as a tool in their professional lives.

The training methods will include:
• Short panels of each Enneagram type
• Practice sessions on type interviewing, panel leadership and self-observation
• Type group exercises
• Typing process lectures and demonstrations
• Script development and practice interviews with volunteers
