The Enneagram is an ancient system of spiritual topology rooted in the underlying wisdom of all of the great traditions.  It gives us a precise view of the passions that drive our ego and, for those who are willing, can serve as a powerful tool for escaping the prison of self-centeredness.  The Enneagram is a rich model for understanding others and responding in service to diverse people in difficult times.  Understanding ourselves and understanding others are two of the hallmarks of true and powerful service.

Karen Watt, M.A., is an ordained interfaith minister, a consultant to business, educational, and non-profit organizations and a personal and business coach.  She is a trained facilitator, a certified mediator, an experienced educator, a certified Enneagram teacher, and a board member of One Spirit Learning Alliance.  Karen has facilitated organizational learning and coached both individuals and teams in large corporations.  She served as a lead teacher and Board President at the Institute for the Advancement of Service in Alexandria, VA., and has a Master’s Degree from George Washington University.  In her various roles as teacher, counselor and coach she provides a safe space for individuals to understand the “limits to growth” that impede their development as full human beings.  Karen nurtures her student’s capacity for personal mastery, self knowledge, and skillful action in their personal and professional relationships.
