Enneagram program offered at Notre Dame
The enneagram, a system of enlightenment through analysis of personality types, will be taught at two all-day sessions at the Notre Dame Provincialate, 14800 Bohlman Road. The first session, Jan. 20, is Enneagram for Beginners. Participants will learn their personality perspectives and numbers. The second session, Feb. 3, is Enneagram Centers and Relationships. It will focus on what personalities relate well with each other and how to move from unhealthy to healthy behavior. June Canoles and Harriet Dow will lead both sessions.
Registration, due one week in advance, costs $35 for one session or $60 for both. Call or write Catholic Women's Network, 877 Spinosa Drive, Sunnyvale, 94087, 245-8663.
