Pre-Conference Day Event

David Daniels, MD  and  Russ Hudson  - two of the greats of the Enneagram world - together again, to set the course for the 2012   Conference  - straight, ever-expanding, profound andBack to the Future.

Standing squarely and solidly on Enneagram tradition - join with David and Russ as they explore the future of Enneagram learning and teaching. This preconference experience will ask and challenge us to bring back the integration of spirit and psychology: to ask - What leads to transformation? What is just a distraction? What do we really mean by "being present"? How do we awaken to our soul's purpose? How do we incorporate the best of our western tradition?

Lecture, facilitated break out groups, and conversation with David and Russ - What role will you play in moving the Enneagram into the Future?
