What Students Say
“After attending some on-line Enneagram workshops facilitated by Carl, I perceive him to be very warm-hearted and open-minded. I especially appreciate his ability to assess while refraining from judging. He appears to be highly skilled at mindfully integrating a compassionate stance with a profound grasp of the theoretical and spiritual foundations underlying the Enneagram system.”

“As I list all I’m thankful for this year, what you have done for all of us in offering these Enneagram Zooms is near the top of my list! I’ve learned so much, and it has definitely added to my ability to know myself, and to better understand others and celebrate diversity… so thanks to you for your dedication of time and energy to helping all of us.”
- Mim C.
​
"Thanks for the wonderful session… Now that we are grounded in the 9 Types, it will be transformative to see how they work together to create change. In these troubling times having a tool for understanding, and transforming and fostering tolerance, is a real gift. With appreciation for the time invested and your willingness to share."
-Helen B.
​
"Thank you for initiating and facilitating this workshop. The greatest value for me was having the ability to talk to other people who understand the Enneagram and who are different than me. You clearly have a lot of experience talking to people about their type, as well as your own."
- Pamela K.
​
"Working with Carl has motivated me to thinking and analyzing more in my life and daily activities, and dealing with those around me more effectively. His sessions help me to know myself better and be more understanding of others."
-Terry and Frankie C.

"I thought you were brilliant in every way of your synopsis of Type 5, and also your explanation of the definition of spirituality. I'd love to listen again as I've never heard such a thorough and concise Type 5 description in my 25+ years of study."
- Carol D.

I wanted to say thank you for today’s class. I really appreciated your leadership, including the ways in which you created and held group space. I’ve been looking for more community and mentorship around the Enneagram, and am thrilled that my Google search this week is
already bearing such fruit!”

“I first learned about the Enneagram from Carl in an OLLI (adult education class). Since then, I have taken almost all of his OLLI classes on this topic. In addition, I have participated in a number of his all-day workshops. Having more than twenty-five years of experience with the Enneagram, Carl is well versed in this topic. He uses a variety of video clips, lectures, class exercises (such as Type Panels) and discussions, to keep the student interested. This makes it easy to learn the details and nuances of this fascinating topic. I highly recommend Carl to anyone new or already familiar with the Enneagram.”
- Tysen M.
​
“I have taken several classes and workshops on the Enneagram with Carl. I have found that he is extremely knowledgeable on the subject-- not only book (head) knowledge, but more importantly personal (heart) wisdom via sharing from his own life experiences. Carl is very approachable and has the capacity to really listen to questions and comments, and he has the ability to respond both intelligently and heartfully. I heartily recommend Carl. I expect that you will have an enriching experience leading to more self-understanding and more self-awareness.”
- Frederick F.

“Carl, thank you for a really wonderful workshop today. You are a terrific facilitator. I was so impressed with your poise, professionalism and polish. You brought the Enneagram to life! Your presentation gave me a deeper insight into this system and answered some questions that I have long had regarding the Enneagram.”
- Sherry A.
​​
"I have known Carl since he and I were both members of the Findhorn Foundation in Scotland in the 1980's. He is a person of the utmost integrity, both in his own life and in the way in which he embodies and communicates spiritual understanding to others. As far as the Enneagram is concerned, not only does he know this wonderful system backwards and forwards, but his particular gifts are to be able to share it within the context of the students' own maps of understanding, and to be able to explain the cross-overs and connections with other spiritual systems and religious beliefs.”
- Ian M.

“I enjoyed the workshop last Saturday very much. It was useful, relevant and fun. I got a lot out of the type panels that you did as the last part of the day, and have come away with much useful insight about myself. My book club was so inspired by the concepts that we decided to each read an enneagram book of our choice to discuss at our meeting next June!”
- Karen S.
​​
“I read my first book on the Enneagram about ten years ago and I was quite taken with the nine personality types, and how the information could bring more joy into my life (spoken like a true Type Seven!). Carl’s Enneagram presentation made the teachings come alive in a way that no book could ever match. Thank you, Carl, for your intelligence and compassion!”
