Workshops & Retreats
Introduction to the Enneagram
What is the Enneagram and how is it useful? Learn the gifts and challenges of each Enneagram personality style.
Wholeness and the Enneagram
Beyond the basics, this workshop dives into Enneagram inner lines, resource points and triads. We explore the wholeness of the Enneagram system and discover our growth edges where we are invited to deeper wholeness.
Moving the Race Conversation Forward with the Enneagram
Along with my co-presenter, Tyler Sit, we explore racism as a collective, often subconscious, reality that affects literally every person who grew up in Western cultures. We explore how each type can fall into the trap of perpetuating existing power structures, and how each type can leverage their strengths for positive change. Throughout the workshop we engage video excerpts of interviews with people of color who have worked with the Enneagram.
The Enneagram and Spiritual Direction
The Enneagram and Spiritual Direction/Companionship weave together in beautiful, life-giving ways. The Enneagram can also be used in unhelpful ways. We explore the difference as we learn 5 myths of using the Enneagram in Spiritual Direction/Companionship.
The Power of Questions
How do the questions we ask ourselves shape us? How do we keep ourselves stuck in our Enneagram type by our mental chatter. Learn practices and questions for each type that guide us towards freedom and wholeness.
Nine Faces of God, The Enneagram and You
This topic explores the beautiful ways we are created in God's image, why we so often forget this, and how we can remember and live into our true selves.
Art and the Enneagram
Using images, poetry and music, we practice presence and self-awareness as we expand our perspective and open our gaze.
Enneagram Expressions
We explore Enneagram teachings that highlight communication styles. We work with our own reactivity and explore how we can respond instead of react to situations.
All workshops and retreats can be tailored to half day, full day, or 2 day events.
I was fortunate to experience a weekend retreat with Debbi earlier this year. With her guidance and exercises I found new insights in my own Enneagram journey, and was especially grateful for the supportive container she created for our exploration. Debbi’s warmth and care for people clearly come through in her work, as well as her spiritual depth and knowledge of the Enneagram.
-Valerie Haberman, Christine Center Program DirectorThis session was one of the best inputs I have received on the Enneagram. Thank you.
-The Enneagram and Spiritual Direction webinar attendeeHi Debbi, Your presentation last night was amazing! All of our attendees in Louisville discussed later, and agreed that your information was novel, well-thought out, and a treasure to discover. The type-specific questions and comments are right on target! Also your presentation style is excellent. It was great to see and hear your passion for the topic – we certainly could experience that. And the hand out was easy to understand and well-organized.
-Paul PaivaDebbi's workshop on "The Power of Questions" was creative and well organized. Her presentation balanced helpful information with a sincere honoring of the participants' questions and experience. Her handouts were very useful -- I've referred to them many times since the workshop.
-Judie RitchieI attended one of Deb's workshops on the Enneagram and was struck by how inviting she made each Enneagram type, so we could ease into our type before we found out the downside! Her materials were a great mixture of visual images, poetry, stories and written descriptions. I also appreciated the time to sit with others and delve more deeply into our types. I came away refreshed and hopeful that I could keep growing into the wholeness that the Enneagram presented.
