Unlock Your Inner Self: Enneagram Personality Workshop
Join us as resident expert Michael Sloyer hosts an exclusive workshop on Enneagram Personality Types for the JCJ community.
Why do you react the way you do? Do you really understand yourself as much as you think you do? To help us realize our full potential, we must start by understanding ourselves completely – our underlying motivations, our fears, our desires, why we get triggered when we do, and how we can overcome whatever might be holding us back from achieving our goals. This workshop revolves around the nine personality Types of the Enneagram, which is a powerful system for better understanding ourselves and others, and a popular tool for personal development and transformation.
Sunday, September 29th
12:30pm – 5:30pm
