For the few of you that are interested in Enneagram workshops in the Bay Area (most of this information seems to be only for the first few months on 2006, I suggest checking the primary sites through out the year to see what else they might add):
Enneagram Worldwide (list of all their offerings)
Two things I recommend:
Typing Interviews
Jan 20 and Feb 1 2006 in Menlo Park. Free.
This is where people who are training to work with the Enneagram get a chance to practice on volunteers (those that show up for the interviews). It is free and you might get an idea what your type is.
Introduction to the Enneagram
March 25, 2006 Berkeley, CA. $90 by March 17; $100 after March 17
This is an one day, 10am – 5pm workshop that has panels of each type. You listen to how people grouped by type handle different situations and life. It gives a really interesting perspective on how people can see things differently. There is a good chance you will recognize the way you deal with things and that would be your type. For anyone interested in the enneagram and wanting to know more, I highly recommend this type of workshop.
For those near the Palo Alto area, there is the Foundation for Global Community enneagram classes.
They offer a lot of weekly evening classes. I am taking a study group workshop on the enneagram type 7 on mondays.
They offer a Basic Enneagram class and a Subtype class. I would be in the Subtype class if I wasn’t doing the 7 study group and willing to drive that far. There is a Enneagram Defense System one day class that I am thinking about.
There is also the Yuba River Enneagram Community in the Nevada City-Grass Valley area (which I think is too far for me but I might try it out later in the year).
And then there is the Enneagram Institute (the ones I have done my training through):
Their next class in the Bay Area is a Part one training in April. Intense, expensive, time consuming and I consider it more than worth it. I have been through it twice.
I am sure there is more out there but this is what I know of right now.
Enneagram Defense System class
I’ll go if you do.
