Join us October 11 for an Enneagram Salon Event

As an organization the Arizona Enneagram Association is at another point of transformation.  Many of you know that our Founding Board Members are moving on to new adventures. They will still be active members of the association, but in the practical world they will no longer run the day to day show. We know that our Founding Mothers will continue to support and nurture the organization they brought into existence. 

This is a shift. As a community of practitioners we desire to ground ourselves in our precious history. And from this grounded presence open to new possibilities.

All possibilities involve questions. How can we attract young people to begin this work early in their lives?  How can we attract more men?  How can we bring diversity to our organization?  Where do we want to focus our energy in our community? How can we better support ourselves and each other in our own transformation?

To get this conversation going we are offering you a time to visit, to enjoy a good meal and share your ideas and open heart. Our intent is that this evening will provide the space for us to connect and allow fresh answers to arise.

Please join our Salon Saturday October 11, 2014 - all members and the general public interested in an Enneagram conversation are welcome to attend this free event.

You might wonder -- what exactly is a salon? Wikipedia of course has an excellent definition: A salon is a gathering of people under the roof of an inspiring host, held partly to amuse one another and partly to refine the taste and increase the knowledge of the participants through conversation. These gatherings often consciously followed Horace's definition of the aims of poetry, "either to please or to educate" ("aut delectare aut prodesse est"). Salons, commonly associated with French literary and philosophical movements of the 17th and 18th centuries, were carried on until quite recently in urban settings.
