What is good about an interdisciplinary, professionally-led, vibrant community?
"A lake evaporates upward and thus gradually dries up; but when two lakes are joined they do not dry up so readily, for one replenishes the other. It is the same in the field of knowledge. Knowledge should be a refreshing and vitalizing force. It becomes so only through stimulating intercourse with congenial friends with whom one holds discussion and practices application of the truths of life. In this way learning becomes many-sided and takes on a cheerful lightness, whereas there is always something ponderous and one- sided about the learning of the self-taught." Hexagram 58, The Lake, The Joyous; The I Ching (The Taoist Book of Changes)

Enneagram Portland was created in 2002 as the city's primary resource for individual explorations, local community education and interdisciplinary experiences with the 9 Points of View. Enneagram Portland links you to professionally-led experiences and meaningful explorations with the Enneagram and creative people who love it, and now people from all time zones join the community experiences. The Enneagram is about being with 9 Types of People exploring unique and universal territory that we can all access best together. We know you can move beyond the cumbersome online tests, daily marketing emails, silly card games, and young evangelical self-taught experts. If you talk type, you should be with us!
The problem with people who have no vices
is that generally you can be pretty sure
they’re going to have some pretty annoying virtues.

This class was such a valuable experience on multiple levels. The learning, the connecting, the community experience, the time invested and the people involved in it. Dale's gifts as a remarkable teacher and fellow traveler. A perfect combination! Jane Larson, Psy.D
StudioE definitely took my knowledge of the Enneagram to a higher level. I am confident now that I have a solid foundation in both instincts and types and feel confident about presenting the Enneagram to small groups in church settings. Well worth the investment in time and money! Jean Martin
StudioE was a transformative experience both personally and professionally. The knowledge, skills, and inspiration gained went way beyond my expectations. Dale is amazing. Laura Conklin, M.A.
My StudioE experience was incredibly "Life Giving" and opened a new chapter in exploring and discovering my core values, natural strengths, challenges, and how I can be more positive and successful in my decision making as I move forward in my life/Work. Will Wiebe, M.A.
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, M.B.A., M.Div.
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. Tim Winslea, R.N.
Great way to explore the enneagram at more depth, and see it at work in the world beyond your own personality! Carol Ferris, M.A.
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
This was quite possibly the best CEU experience I have had through Lewis and Clark's Center for Community Engagement, and cannot speak highly enough about Dale’s knowledge, expertise and ability to create a welcoming and encouraging learning environment. Carly Clark, PCC staff
I highly recommend anyone interested in the Enneagram to study with Dale Rhodes, MA. He is a master teacher and makes the complexity and richness of this system come alive while providing a safe and rigorous group experience. Joe Alexander, LCSW
I have been interested in the Enneagram since 2001 and have attended a number of courses for my own personal growth. I wanted to deepen my understanding of the Enneagram as a professional. This course did not disappoint. Dale offers experienced insight that can not be found in books alone. I highly recommend this course. Jennifer Poole, M.A.
