• It Takes a Village:  Using the wisdom of the Enneagram to open conversations between parents, children, teachers and caregivers.  (Evening/Full Day or 4 evening workshop)
  Frustration occurs when our child/ren and others interacting with our child/ren have different priorities than ourselves.  Use the Enneagram to open (improve) discussions with co-parents, caregivers, teachers, instructors, coaches and our childrenAs parents we want the best for our children. So why do we have arguments with our children that seem to go nowhere?What keeps us from advocating for our child when we see their needs not being attended to by others? We will start with some interactive exploration to look at what shapes our own priorities from our dominant Enneagram type and our Instinctual Variant/ Sub Types. We will explore clues that others give us about their priorities.Using these clues we will turn our judgments into curiosities to open conversations through large group demonstrations and small group practice.
• At the heart of this workshop is recognizing that our child/ren has/have many supports in their lives – as parents – we can improve our lives by accepting this support and acknowledging it takes a village to raise a child.
• United in Relationship
  This is a 3 day or 6 evening workshop designed for both traditional and non traditional relationships. Similar to Marriage preparation courses, this asks those in relationship to explore a variety of topics. During the exploration, Brian teaches participants how to be present to each other through reflective listening skills, to be curious about conflict and to look at each topic through the lens of the Nine Domains of the Enneagram System
• Introduction to the Enneagram Personality Type System
  Brian has designed two hour workshops to 3 day workshops to introduce the Enneagram System.
