Workshop Schedule Changes

Toward the end of October, Mom got really, really sick.  She was 16 days in the hospital, and I’ve spent most of a month with her in Sacramento.  This has caused us to postpone both November workshops, and it seems reasonable to cancel 12/4 as well.  We’ll pick up again after the first of the [...]

I’m hoping that participants will use this [...]

David, what is an Enneagram?

I got this simple email the other day from Harmony, a woman in an organization I’ve done a lot of work with.  I was grateful for the question, because it reminded me that I’ve made an assumption in gearing up for this summer’s workshops. Because I’ve been working so much with the Enneagram in recent [...]

New website!

Welcome!  I’m so excited to have the new website up and running!  It’s been almost a year in the making, as I found it necessary to drag my heels and busy myself with other things…  There are stories to be told about resistance in self, and parallels to be drawn about resistance in organizations.  Further, [...]
