“...we can also see that there is in the Enneagram an implied invitation to stop our self-destructive patterns by seeing them more objectively and compassionality. Our waking up is the beginning of the process of transformation.”

Discovering Your Personality Type, p. 205

“While knowing our type gives us important information, that information is merely an embarkation point for a much greater journey. In short, knowing our type is not the final destination.”

The Wisdom of the Enneagram, p. 17

“The goal is not to strengthen our ego but to transcend its limitations: in so doing, we become increasingly healthy and we increasingly .live in Essence.”

Enneagram Offerings

Workshops | Couples Counseling | Consultations and Mentoring


Consultations and Mentoring

Katy and Dave bring their background in the Enneagram, as well as their own years of psychological and spiritual work to each session they offer. Contact them for more information or to book a session. They offer consultations and ongoing mentoring individually or as a couple, via telephone, in-person, or email. Sliding scale of $50-$75 for a 1-hour consultation or $75-$100 for an hour and a half. Email consultations are also available.


Couples' Counseling with the Enneagram

As an Interfaith Minster, Katy trained to administer the nationally known pre-marital program, Prepare and Enrich. She and Dave have augmented the Prepare and Enrich material with the depth the Enneagram brings to understanding personality differences, and teach this course together.

The Basic Prepare and Enrich/Enneagram course is six 2-hour sessions, each 2-3 weeks apart so there's time to process in between. Advanced modules are also available if desired or if certain things come up as issues during the basic six, but they are not required. The basic six sessions, are a set fee of $550, which includes taking the Prepare and Enrich inventory, as well as the two Enneagram personality inventories: the RHETI and the IVQ. It also includes email correspondence to get clear about Enneagram results if necessary and any email touching-base that is desired during the whole process. Any extra meetings, or any extra modules would be charged for at a sliding scale fee of $75-$100 for a 1-hour session.

Katy and Dave also offer Enneagram-based couples' counseling without Prepare and Enrich at a sliding scale fee of $100-$125 for a 1-hour session, and $150-$175 for an hour and a half.

Deepening Your Enneagram Practice
An Ongoing Riso-Hudson Study Group
Do you want to deepen your spiritual practice using the Enneagram? We'd like to help build an intentional community focused on exploring aspects of the Enneagram more deeply and applying what we learn on our spiritual journeys. In this first series, we will spend one week on each type, not overviewing the basics, but going deeper into specific aspects to understand the type from the inside out. Each session will include a brief persentation and experiential exercises. Basic Enneagram knowledge assumed.

10-Week Series or Drop-In (call first to see if there is room), class 2 hours

Introduction to the Riso-Hudson Spiritual Approach to the Enneagram
The Enneagram is a psycho-spiritual tool for growth and transformation work that is based on nine basic personality types. In this overview, we will show how the nine types emerge as a direct result of the loss of contact with True Nature/the Divine/God, and how knowing and working with our primary type (we have all 9 types within us) can help us become fuller human beings. If you.re new to the Enneagram or just want to explore the Riso-Hudson Approach, this overview of the types emphasizes their spiritual roots and natural unfoldment. Includes teaching, exercises, music, and poetry.

1.5 hour or 3 hour class

The Enneagram Wisdom Workshop
A Riso-Hudson Spiritual Approach

This Workshop explores how our personality develops to compensate for our loss of connection with the Divine. Using the Riso-Hudson Insight Approach we will explore each type's character manifestations and offer practical support for cultivating more aliveness and awakeness in your life. Includes presentation, as well as meditation, music, poetry, and experiential exercises.

Understanding Relationships with the Enneagram
Instinct, Essence, and EnneaType
Familiarity with the Enneagram is recommended but not required.

Katy offers this Workshop with her partner Dave Hall. Primarily for couples, but open to anyone who is seriously interested in exploring relationship dynamics that occur in their lives. We will consider questions such as: Why do we want different things? Why do we misunderstand each other? Why is our sexual interest so different? How can we grow together? We will focus on intimacy with yourself, instinctual make-up, Masculine / Feminine essence profile, and Enneagram type to understand the deeper structures of personality and of the relationships we form with others.

Not only do Katy and Dave offer a good example of different types, Instincts, and Feminine/Masculine styles working together, but they bring the learnings they have gleaned from their own unfolding relationship to the participants. Includes presentation, as well as meditation, music, poetry, experiential exercises, and practice communicating with different types.

Nourishing the Divine Feminine with the Enneagram
For women only. This Workshop explores how we as women lose touch with the totality of our own Divine Feminine Essence. Using the work of David Deida and the Enneagram teaching of the Instincts (Self-Preservation, Sexual/Attraction, and Social), we will explore how the prioritization of specific Instincts and the resulting neglect of others affects our ability to embrace our full Feminine potential. Includes presentation, as well as meditation, music, poetry, and experiential exercises. Dress comfortably.

The Enneagram Institute is training qualified Riso-Hudson Certified students to teach our core Workshops worldwide, so that participants anywhere will get the same content, exercises, and RH psycho-spiritual orientation.

The Levels of Development Workshop
Using the Enneagram to Develop Your Soul
The Levels of Development, a central aspect of the Riso-Hudson Enneagram teachings, provide a vertical dimension to the personality types, making clear the "inner logic" of each type and revealing how each type.s various traits and motivations form an interrelated whole. At their most profound, the Levels are the measure of our ability to be Present. Working with the Levels not only provides recognition for where we are in our journey of growth, but also guides us toward greater health and transformation. This Workshop includes presentation, meditation, music, poetry, experiential exercises, and recommendations for growth. Open to anyone—you don't need to know your type to benefit! For more information, click here.

Weekend Workshop or 5-week series, with 3-hour classes.

The Three Instincts (Subtypes) Workshop
Using the Enneagram to Create Balance in your Life and Harmony in your Relationships
Our instinctual nature, while extremely powerful in our daily decision-making processes and lifestyle choices, is given little emphasis in many spiritual paths, and is often treated as an inherent problem to be eliminated. The Enneagram deals very directly with this aspect of the Self through teachings about the Three Instincts: Self-Preservation, Sexual (Attraction), and Social (Adaptation). In this Workshop, we will clarify and deepen our understanding of the Instincts, as well as learn how to balance them, allowing our instinctual energy to enrich our lives. Includes presentation, meditation, music, poetry, experiential exercises, and recommendations for growth. Open to anyone—you don't need to know your type to benefit! For more information, click here.

Weekend Workshop or 5-week series, with 3-hour classes.

The Wisdom of the Enneagram
This Workshop looks at the personality types as nine distinct aspects of human nature that can be found in all of us regardless of our type. We will see how these different parts of ourselves manifest personally in our lives, and how, rightly understood they can lead us to deeper inner resources and lasting joy. We will focus primarily on the spiritual gifts of each type. If you are interested in finding more effective ways of using the Enneagram in your spiritual practice, or if you are interested in exploring the underlying meaning and Wisdom of the Enneagram, this Workshop will be highly relevant to you. Includes presentation, as well as meditation, music, and experiential exercises. For more information, click here.

Weekend Workshop or 4-week series, with 3-hour classes.

The Relationships Workshop
Intimate and Professional
Participants will be guided to use the Enneagram as a profound and immensely practical way to understand their relationships with others, both intimate and professional. Particular dynamics between the different types, effective methods for communicating with each type, and the ways in which the three Instinctual Variants and our experienced childhood orientation affect our main motivations in relationships will be covered. Includes presentation, as well as meditation, music, and experiential exercises. For more information, click here.
