It is a privilege to serve on the MN-IEA board. I’m currently the Membership Chair and have served as President. I’m proud of the quality and depth of our programs. The Enneagram has given me deep understanding and compassion for myself and others. It’s a powerful tool we need now more than ever.

I am thankful for our local Enneagram community and enjoy the many and varied opportunities available to gather with others, learning and growing. The Enneagram has taught me so much—how to listen better, how to communicate more effectively, and how to appreciate the unique perspective and gifts we each bring to the world. These insights are also helpful in the work I do assisting individuals and families manage their day-to-day financial affairs.

The Enneagram is the most helpful personal growth tool I’ve ever used. What I love about studying this method is how deep and rich it can be. You start with observing your own unconscious behavior, learning what motivates yourself and others, and then continue on the path to deeper understanding and spiritual growth. We are blessed to have a MN-IEA chapter with members who are so accomplished and educated in their knowledge of the Enneagram. We truly are a community that supports our members in their personal and professional growth.

I chair the Program Committee for MN-IEA and also serve on the Global Board of the IEA. I’m so proud of our local chapter – the biggest and most active IEA chapter in the US! I first discovered the Enneagram almost 20 years ago and have studied under many of the major schools and teachers. I retired from the corporate world and now devote my time to my human and canine family, gardening, the Enneagram and spiritual growth work, hosting a house concert series and enjoying the natural world.

I enjoy being a member of this active Enneagram chapter, having the opportunity to gather regularly with people engaged in personal exploration and spiritual expansion. The Enneagram has enriched my relationships and shed light onto my understanding of the imaginal realm. For me art/imagery has been a primary conduit for self-awareness. I blend my art therapy background with teaching the Enneagram. Through imagery I assist others in seeing their unique path toward wholeness as described by the Enneagram. Learn more.

The first time I went to an Enneagram meeting, I felt like I had come home. Being a part of the  Minnesota Enneagram community has changed my life both personally and professionally. My knowledge of myself has grown, and my relationships have deepened.  Since getting certified, I have taught  Enneagram classes, facilitated growth groups, and included the Enneagram in my work with clients as a Psychologist, Spiritual Director, and Coach. Being a part of the MN-IEA board is a true delight and privilege! Learn more.
