One of today's most popular systems for self-understanding, the Enneagram is an ancient teaching that describes nine personality types and how they relate to each other.  Recently, the Enneagram has been rediscovered and further developed as a tool in spiritual direction, psychotherapy, and developing more ethical and healthy business relationships.  Our workshops, classes, groups, and retreats lay the foundation for understanding your type and types of those important to you.  People from all walks of life have found our programs educational, transformative, and fun.  You choose which programs meet your needs.

Downtown Portland -  1020 SW Taylor Street, Portland OR 97205

October 7, November 4, December 2, 2010 (mornings)

This small group (6-8 people) is for anyone wanting to explore and apply the Enneagram to everyday life. We’ll focus on specific aspects of being human (relationships, creativity, communication, work, spirituality, dreams, money, health, time…you name it!) and how to use the Enneagram to experience greater well-being.

The format will include a mixture of teaching, experiential (fun!) exercises, sharing, and take-home activities. We’ll explore various aspects of the Enneagram (type structure, subtypes, triads, wings, connecting points, etc.) with the goals of expanding your “response repertoire” and moving into a greater freedom in your daily life.

The “Corps of Discovery” will meet for two hours, once a month, and participants are expected to make a commitment for the quarter (October, November, December).

Two groups will run concurrently – one on the first Thursday mornings and one on the third Thursday evenings.

Please register for one group only. Fee is $110 for the quarter and includes materials.
Both groups will meet in downtown Portland at

Please note:  Enneagram Portland classes are experiential and participatory.   Because the voices of the types themselves are what deepen our understanding, panels are composed of class participants that represent the type of the evening.   You may be asked to join the panel on your type’s day, and it provides an enriching experience for all involved.

Who should attend?  Individuals, couples, singles, counselors, spiritual directors, mentors, consultants, and everyday people on a practical spiritual journey all find themselves benefiting from the insights and skills that come from attending these programs.  Join us and see why this is true.   You may join the course at anytime throughout the year.

How do I register?   Because we have all nine type energies within us, and because we relate in some way to all the types through the people we encounter in life, all types are invited to all classes.  We encourage students to learn about all types by attending all the classes.  To encourage this, a *significant discount* is available for year-long preregistration. Priority in registration for other programs is always given to full-program registrants.  Click the word "register" to reach the registration page.

After eight years, this core meeting time is the most popular program for the continuing student community.  It often draws over fifty Enneagram enthusiasts together at a time, for a dynamic evening that produces deeper understanding and greater compassion for the ways of others.  The nine types are explored through teaching, discussions and professionally-led participant panel interviews.  A topical theme for the year is chosen, such as how the nine types experience themselves in relationships, conflict, work, spiritual development, etc.  See past programs for examples.

Dale Rhodes leads this series for students who are experienced with the Enneagram.  This year’s advanced class focused on the spiritual perspective of the Enneagram, and how the nine Enneastyles manifest the essential spiritual qualities and holy ideas specifically associated with each type.   Participants should have an interest in how type affects spiritual experience and in what ways the Enneagram provides a spiritual direction for the contemporary contemplative. 
 
We may explore the following:

  • What are the blocks to spiritual experience? 
  • How has your type informed your spiritual experience of life? 
  • What are practices, supports and experiences that have helped or hindered your maturing? 
  • When you relax the compulsions of your style, what are the essential qualities that naturally arise? 
  • What spiritual perspectives may your type come to know most fully? 
  • What are the ethics and virtues that you bring to situations from your Enneagram lens? 
  • Does your type give you a special receptivity to knowing something of our Essential Nature?
  •  
    All types attend all sessions.  Meditation, self-reflection, the Narrative Tradition of listening to panels of participants, and sharing a contemplative wisdom circle.  This is an opportunity for a contemplative evening in community.

    Life leads the thoughtful person on a path of many windings.
    Here the winged thoughts may pour freely forth in words,
    Here the heavy burden of knowledge must be shut away in silence.
    But when people are at one in their inmost hearts,
    They shatter even the strength of iron or of bronze.
    And when people understand each other in their inmost hearts,
    Their words are sweet and strong, like the fragrance of orchids.
     
    ---- Confucius
     
    Please note:  Enneagram Portland classes are experiential and participatory.   Because the voices of the types themselves are what deepen our understanding, panels are composed of class participants that represent the type of the evening.   You may be asked to join the panel on your type’s evening, and it provides an enriching experience for all involved.

    Who should attend?   A basic understanding of the nine types is required.  New and advanced students continue to join the monthly sessions because there is always something new to gain about relating to others.   Individuals, couples, singles, counselors, spiritual directors, mentors, consultants, and everyday people on a practical spiritual journey all find themselves benefiting from the insights and skills that come from attending these programs.  Join us and see why this is true.   You may join the course at anytime throughout the year.
