Bio: In 2020, Marilyn had a dream in which a man on the beach told her it was time to turn to the Enneagram to learn about herself. She dove in and has been involved ever since. Even though she has been teaching for many years, she still considers herself a student because, as she says, "The Enneagram is a bottomless well."
Over the years, Marilyn has facilitated introductory and advanced workshops, weekend retreats, staff development programs, and has led many small group studies including one that has been meeting continuously since 2016. Her emphasis is always on using the Enneagram as a map for deeper self-awareness and more awakened living including greater compassion for self and others.
