Exploring Mindfulness and the Enneagram:
Tools for Awareness and Healing
Presented by:
Dr. Maria Hoober, M.D.
Timothy St. Onge, PsyD, PhD
Mindfulness and the Enneagram are ancient tools that have come from the observations and spiritual wisdom of many different traditions. They have been rediscovered and developed in modern psychology into useful guides for self-understanding and compassion. For those in the helping professions, understanding and practicing these tools can aid in understanding and motivating clients and directing therapy.
This workshop, offering six Continuing Education Credits for Social Workers, NCC Counselors, LMFTs, LPCs and Psychologists, will interweave practice and training in mindfulness practice along with scientific evidence for the beneficial effects. It will also include an introduction to the Enneagram and its application for psychology and spirituality.

Understand the usefulness of the Enneagram as a spiritual and psychological tool for personal and professional growth.
