"The class combines the joy of self-discovery and expanding one's capacity for empathy with great literature and live action performances. Plus you get to hang out with really cool people." Maren Symonds, M.B.A., M.Div.
"This was an excellent means by which to engage with the Enneagram in a new light and was especially helpful in that it allowed those with deep experience and those fairly new to the study a common platform through which to engage. Dale's management of both the literary material and various viewpoints of the participants was masterful." Tim Winslea, R.N.
"Great way to explore the enneagram at more depth, and see it at work in the world beyond your own personality!" Carol Ferris, M.A.
"If someone wants to enter a community and dive deeply into the Enneagram, this is a great opportunity to be with a masterful teacher and a like minded explorative group of people." Gail Webb
"This was quite possibly the best CEU experience I have had through Lewis and Clark's Center for Community Engagement, and cannot speak highly enough about Dale’s knowledge, expertise and ability to create a welcoming and encouraging learning environment." Carly Clark, PCC staff

Why A Local Portland Community?
A lake evaporates upward and thus gradually dries up;
but when two lakes are joined they do not dry up so readily,
for one replenishes the other.
It is the same in the field of knowledge.
Knowledge should be a refreshing and vitalizing force.
It becomes so only through stimulating intercourse with congenial friends
with whom one holds discussion
and practices application of the truths of life.
In this way learning becomes many-sided and takes on a cheerful lightness,
whereas there is always something ponderous and one- sided about the learning of the self-taught.
