Direct Your Mask - Enneagram and the Essence of Truth
10th - 11th April 2010
A new alliance with the Institute of United Culture
A workshop on Enneagram and the Essence of Truth this coming weekend. It enables you to understand your personality and the make-up of your much-cherished personality. A proven method to identify blocking mechanisms and liberate us from them, so we are free to utilize our untapped resources. Pal, our facilitator, has 38 years of experience in the realm of philosophy and psychology. All fees go towards charitable causes including A-Z Children's Charity.
