The 9 Points of View
in Literature, Film and Community
"It was over a decade ago that I first discovered the gift of the Enneagram. Since then I have attended a few additional workshops and evening events that Dale has offered and always found them engaging and insightful. As both a pastor and a psychiatric RN, I have made use of the Enneagram in helping me understand both the people I serve and, more importantly, why I respond to them as I do. Most recently I took Dale's 9 Types in Literature and Film. This was an excellent means by which to engage with the Enneagram in a new light and was especially helpful in that it allowed those with deep experience and those fairly new to the study a common platform through which to engage. Dale's management of both the literary material and various viewpoints of the participants was masterful. I would certainly encourage any who have a passion for reading and an interest in knowing themselves and their loved ones to take this program." Tim Winslea
After participating in Dale’s Deepening Group and Studio E (both fantastic!), I thought I would take a break from Enneagram studies; but then Dale offered his first Enneagram & Literature class. How could I not say “Yes!” to wrapping my two favorite subjects together in one package? And I am so glad I did—looking at the Nine Types through characters in literature enriched me with profound insights from other class members and drew me into personal reflection. |
Greetings Dale!
Thank you for the months of fun in the Lit and Film Group! Though some of the books were not ones I would have chosen on my own, all were interesting to see and discuss through the lens of the Enneagram and the eyes of other group members. I loved the months-long journey we took together, during which most of us shared more and more in this safe space--- at the top of the world. It has been very enlightening to sit with people so different from myself and hear how differently they saw these characters! These are not the sorts of conversations we find during a casual dinner during which Enneagram is mentioned. My FAVORITE part was making new friends - some really great ones, too - among the members of the group. Thank you for all you do and for continuing to teach the Enneagram in so many different ways. See you in Group, Di The class combines the joy of self-discovery and expanding one's capacity for empathy with great literature and live action performances. Plus you get to hang out with really cool people.
- Maren Symonds Great way to explore the enneagram at more depth, and see it at work in the world beyond your own personality! - Carol Ferris If someone wants to enter a community and dive deeply into the Enneagram, this is a great opportunity to be with a masterful teacher and a like minded explorative group of people. - Gail Webb |
