Dear Enneagram Enthusiasts,
Pictures of The Barn follow, but we write primarily to remind you of our new Live Coaching TeleConference Series, as well as other upcoming events! Please see details below.

1. New Live Coaching TeleConference Series: The Enneagram and Integral Coaching—Applying the Theory. Our first joint teaching with James Flaherty of New Ventures West was such a success, that we will be offering another 11-session TeleConferences Series starting on May 14th that takes our collaboration to the next step by offering real-time coaching of each type as the centerpiece of this new series.
The series will be focused on coaching individuals of different Enneatypes who are dealing with a wide variety of presenting topics. The first 2-hour session will be an overview of the whole series, with a chance to revisit the key elements we will be using throughout the rest of the course, including the main principles of Integral Coaching and Riso-Hudson Enneagram theory. Then there will be nine 2-hour sessions, one per type, beginning with Type Eight, The Challenger. There will also be a bonus, free 11th session, during which participants can check in with the three leaders on how their coaching with the Enneagram has been going, ask questions, and brainstorm how to further the insights that have occurred during the series. For more about times, dates, and cost, click here.
Participation in this new, live-coaching TeleConference series will be limited to 100. We recommend that participants have sufficient background in both Integral Coaching and the Enneagram, as basics about coaching and the Enneagram will be assumed in the coaching sessions. You need not have participated in the 2007 TeleConference Series in order to join us on this one.
This particular TeleConference Series will likely not be repeated for a few years, as we plan to develop a longer in-person Training next. If you use the Enneagram in any kind of growth work with clients—coaching, counseling, in human resources—the depth and clarity provided in this TeleConference Series by this synthesis of Integral Coaching and the Riso-Hudson Enneagram will enrich and deepen your capacity to help clients.

4. Psychic Structures Workshop in Holland! Don’t miss Russ’s extraordinary teaching of the EI Workshop, The Psychic Structures and the Superego which will be offered in Vught, Holland from June 20-22, 2008 at the Heizebergen. The Psychic Structures and the Superego Workshop is an astonishing “eye-opener” even to long-time students of the Enneagram. It presents the nine types and their inner dynamics in a new, clear, and compelling way—through visual models of the types and their inner dynamics.

5. New Article: Practicing Mercy? The Non-Dual Perspective of the Enneagram. Written for Fr. Richard Rohr's quarterly journal, Radical Grace. "One of the most important statements about mercy is Shakespeare's inspiring plea to Shylock made by Portia in The Merchant of Venice (1600). Perhaps it is more than a little obvious to begin this article about "practicing mercy" with this quotation, yet Shakespeare's genius, with its profound insight into human nature, raises some of the most important issues about mercy and the paradoxical nature of this virtue. The passage in Act IV, Scene I, goes as follows..." (Click here for the full article.)

6. Authorized Workshop Teachers are Now Offering Programs! The Enneagram Institute is training qualified Riso-Hudson Certified students to teach four of our core Workshops so that these Workshops will be more widely available around the world. The four Workshops that will initially be taught constitute a standardized curriculum so that those attending anywhere—in Sydney, London, San Francisco, or Hong Kong, for example—will receive the same content, exercises, and RH psycho-spiritual orientation.

7. Short Notices & Quick Takes
***New ResourceBook PowerPoint Presentations now available to students and non-students alike! These PowerPoint slides were developed by Lynda Roberts (working closely with The Enneagram Institute) and are a companion piece for the ResourceBook for Workshop Teaching, which is still available only to Riso-Hudson Students. The PowerPoints follow the contents and layout of the ResourceBook, and will make teaching the Enneagram even easier and more effective. They are very “user-friendly” and contain animations and beautiful, clear graphics to enhance your presentations. The slides can also be customized for your own needs. A brief demo of the PowerPoint presentations is and more information, including contents and pricing are available here.
***Don't forget the new 15-page Type Charts for Therapists, Coaches & Counselors, which serve as a memory aid to the key materials from the Riso-Hudson books and teachings, allowing therapists, coaches, and counselors of all schools of thought to see precise and useful information organized by type "at a glance." This new product, developed for our 2007 TeleConference on Coaching and the Enneagram with James Flahery of New Ventures West, is a presentation of the most important features of each personality type, designed to allow quick access to the major psychological issues of each type for professional during sessions with clients.
The Type Charts are in color and are available as a download for $35 or in plastic sleeves in hardcopy for $50. Both formats are letter-size (8.5 x 11). For more information, including policy for copying and distribution, click here. You can download a free sample including the Overview and the Type One Chart. (Please Note: The Type Charts is completely different from our other Chart set, The Enneagram Charts—see below.)
***The Russian RHETI is available in booklet form on our Shopping Cart thanks to one of our students, Marina Kaldina, a native Russian, who lives in Moscow. The price is still $10 per copy plus S&H.
***The RHETI Sampler is available as a paper download for $25 for unlimited copies. This way teachers and coaches can print it out and give the Sampler to their clients. Many, of course, go on to take the full, independently validated RHETI, or the QUEST-TAS.
We hope you find this helpful in your work with the Enneagram!
***The Enneagram Charts have become a respected and handy resource with students of the Enneagram everywhere. The first Chart ("Personality Elements") is always free as a download, and the remaining 8 Charts which are packed with information for easy reference are $30 for the set, or $5 each if you would like to sample them. By the way, we encourage you to print out the free Chart 1 and to spread it around to family, friends, and colleagues!
