The Enneagram is a tool for spiritual self-inquiry and growth. It uses personality typing to draw us into the process of understanding what underlies our personality: our essence, the core of our truest self. By coming to know our essence, we enter deep healing and wholeness.
Join Dr. Joseph Howell and the faculty of the Institute for Conscious Being as we explore the basics of the Enneagram and embark on an experiential journey to your soul child, the purest part of our being. Created from our original goodness, this inner child is our essence and a direct connection to the divine within.
The conference will include teachings, small groups, live music, interactive exercises, great food, and lively fellowship.
This conference is open to all regardless of faith or religious tradition.
Generously hosted by the congregations of Highlands UMC and St. Mary's on-the-Highlands Episcopal Church.

“I became personally interested in the Enneagram only in the past three years, when, thanks to the ICB’s framing, I came to see the ultimate goal of the Enneagram as reconnecting us with our divine essences, not just developing a more nuanced understanding of our ego types. This resonated powerfully with me because, at midlife, I was finding my ego type tiresome.”
