Value: $150 | Cost: sliding scale, $75 - $200* 

Where: Arise Wellness, 1150 NW 8th Avenue, Gainesville, FL 32601

This introductory, in-person experience covers the foundations of the enneagram of personality. You'll learn about the history and purpose of the enneagram, the instinctual drives, centers of intelligence, and the nine basic types, all through the lens of embodiment—how it feels and what it means to live with these patterns. We'll do our best to help you discover your core pattern, and provide resources for further exploration. Our focus is on using the enneagram of personality to find more compassion, connection, and freedom in your life.

*A note on the sliding scale

We are using a sliding scale model to make these teachings more accessible. Please thoughtfully consider the value of this service to you, your current level of income (no proof required), and your ability to support a fair price for fellow community members in need. If you can pay a little extra, great. If you can't, great. We will not question you about how much you decide is right for you to pay. If you need a lower price than the sliding scale offers, please reach out. A few scholarship spots are reserved for every workshop and group offering.

I teach spiritually curious adults to work with the enneagram to find more compassion, joy, and freedom in their lives.

For everyone

The Enneagram is a powerful tool for personal growth and transformation. My training is in the Embodiment tradition, which includes awareness of the energetic aspects of each of the nine types and three instinctual types. This tradition moves the Enneagram from a purely intellectual tool to one that unites mind and body. 

My experience with the Enneagram informs much of my counseling work, and I periodically offer workshops and groups that are open to the public. I also offer Enneagram consultations for groups and organizations who are interested in using this tool to improve communication and team-building. 

For counselors

I've developed a research-based model for counselors interested in using the Enneagram in their therapy practice. I'll be teaching this model in a group format starting January 2024. Sign up to learn more about the Counseling Enneagram group.
