Course Summary

This 3-video set provides an introduction to the concept of Enneagram types and answers common questions about types. It addresses how cultural factors intersect with types, and how self-judgment often arises as we explore our type. We are invited to befriend aspects of ourselves that we are prone to reject. Finally, we look at how we are more than our type and how the model is a map to human wholeness.

Thanks for visiting my site, first_name

I’ve been a spiritual seeker since childhood. A spiritual thread has run through my life and led me to my current passion, which is to help people wake up to a life of greater purpose, freedom, and service in the world. Based in Minneapolis, I’ve had hundreds of clients as a spiritual director, teach, and leadership coach through Sojourners Institute and the Spiritual Direction Learning Lab.

Since 2004, I’ve loved training spiritual directors and leading programs in spiritual development. I also provide workshops, retreats, and leadership consultation focusing on spiritual growth and/or the Enneagram.

When I’m not playing in these spiritual ventures, I am a chaplain educator for a health care organization. Hobby-wise, I love to play jazz piano, read-read-read, knit a little, and walk dogs a lot.

What transpired in my earlier years? Well, I grew up in Northfield, MN. I vowed never to be a pastor (in 9th grade), and, as you would guess, became a pastor and campus minister.

I graduated from Augustana College, in Rock Island, IL, with religion and psychology majors, and then headed out to graduate school at Yale Divinity School. There I not only got my Masters Degree, but, best of all, met Melanie. I hit the jackpot in New Haven, CT! And, we have a lovely adult daughter, Ana, and a small pack of rescue dogs.
