Enneagram Salon in Petaluma with Beth & Eric
April - July One Saturday Morning Each Month
The Enneagram is a powerful tool for self understanding and improving relationships at home and at work. This Salon will help you develop your knowledge about the Enneagram, especially how to apply it to your personal and professional life. The first half of each salon will be a discussion about a specific topic. During the second half we will discuss questions from the group about applying the Enneagram. Some familiarity with the Enneagram is useful, but not essential.
We have studied the Enneagram extensively and have been using it in our work with organizations and clients for over 10 years.
The salons are scheduled for Saturday mornings from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm in Petaluma on the following days:
April 21—The Basic Principles
May 12—Numbers 1, 9, 8
June 16—Numbers 2, 3, 4
July 14—Numbers 5, 6, 7
If these dates and times don't work for you, let us know what does. Based on interest we are willing to consider adding a group.
Location: Our place in downtown Petaluma.
Cost: $35 per session, or $120 for all four.
Contact: For more information contact Beth at Beth@CreateTheGoodLife.org.
