Enneagram 1.0 Workshop
The Enneagram is a powerful personality framework that helps you understand why you think, feel, and act the way you do. It identifies nine core personality types, each with its own motivations, strengths, and growth areas. By uncovering your type, you gain deep self-awareness, improve relationships, and make more intentional choices—allowing you to live with greater clarity, purpose, and fulfillment.
Join us for our Enneagram 1.0 Workshop to learn more about this amazing growth tool!
