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.

This is Enneagram Portland, LLC’s core meeting time and its most popular program for the continuing student community, often drawing over fifty students each evening. This year’s 2nd Mondays advanced class will focus 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. We will explore the following questions:

When we relax the compulsions of our style, what are the essential qualities that naturally arise?
What spiritual experience on life may one type come to know more fully?
What are the ethics and virtues that we bring to situations based on our Enneagram lens?
What are practices that support each type in knowing their core spiritual essence?
How can all types know more of these wholesome ways of being?

All types encouraged to attend all classes, which are experiential and participatory. You may join the 2nd Monday Community at any time. The class will be held in a large comfortable room and may include meditation, music, movement, type panels, reflections and process. In addition, there will be stories from various world cultures presented by professional storytellers Will Hornyak and Concetta Antonelli.  They will deepen our understanding of the transformation from passion to essence.
