Would you like individual guidance identifying your Enneagram Type?

Identifying the lens through which you see the world can be difficult to do alone.  On-line tests are seldom helpful and can actually keep people searching longer than necessary.  Dale Rhodes has professional certification to offer one-to-one typing interviews to guide you through the process of discovering your type.

The first meeting is a formal interview that assesses your type, and the second interview is scheduled a week or two later to explore what you have discovered about yourself related to type in the interim.  For both sessions, a book and handouts, the total cost is only $175.

Bio

Dale has a Master of Arts in Spiritual Traditions & Ethics from Marylhurst University and a Certificate in the Art of Spiritual Direction from Mercy Center for Contemporary Spirituality.  A spiritual director since 1998, he was a founding member of the Interfaith Spiritual Center, one of the first interfaith centers for spiritual direction and education in this country.

Professional certifications in applying the Enneagram and the MBTI as personal and spiritual development resources enhances Dale’s work as a mentor and spiritual director.  Many of Dale’s students know that identifying and maintaining awareness of one’s worldview is a jump start to spiritual development and good medicine for the rest of life.

Dale has studied and appreciates the many spiritual paths in life, and finds himself a Taoist practitioner and naturalist, more than anything else.  For six years he taught T’ai Chi Ch’uan Wu Long Form with the permission of his martial arts teacher, author Margy Emerson.  Today, he attends to his own spiritual growth through meetings with his personal spiritual community, Taoist meditation, zen birdwatching, playing the Celtic Harp with “Harpers for Housing” and other folk-jam groups, and engaging in educational adventures and retreats.  Dale appreciates his very simple and sustainable life, which is car-free, mostly carefree, and increasingly less cluttered with unnecessaries.  His partner, cats, compost bin, and time in the natural world are some of his most important life teachers today.

After thoroughly enjoying his naturalist’s training at Wilderness Awareness School, Dale completed Nature University to be a volunteer with Metro Parks and Regional Spaces.

Dale is certified through Type Resources to administer and teach the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Process (MBTI®). He also has a Master of Science in NonProfit Management from Spertus College of Jewish Studies in Chicago along with years of nonprofit management,  supporting his work as a nonprofit consultant and trainer.
