Read what others have said about Roxanne and Ronna’s workshops:

I’m simply dropping a note to say: THANK YOU!!! Your conference has deeply influenced and transformed my life – no understatement. I had not realized, even through all my contemplative training and exercising, how much I still had constricted Reality through Personality. That weekend helped me to objectively and compassionately teach me to be much more Present in all things…I cannot stress enough how much my life and ministry have been wonderfully affected/effected by what you all taught so well!
Thank you, Roxanne and Ronna. You are fantastic teachers!! Presence really is the key to knowing oneself, relationships and Reality (God in our tradition). The conference really made the Enneagram 3-dimensional (though I’m sure there are more dimensions to be discovered!) in my current use and understanding of it. This practice and teaching has really helped me on a deeper level to encounter God not as a Being but as Being itself. Deeply intimate and relational by definition.—David Pinkston, Pastor, worship leader, Pasadena, California

I took this workshop as a professional seeking a solution to my yearning to combine therapy with spiritual healing. I’ve been a licensed psychotherapist for 20 years and more recently have become interested in developing my spiritual self. My spiritual journey has been so important to me that I’ve traveled across the world in search of chances to discover my authentic higher nature. As I began to get in touch with that true self, I wanted to help others in their spiritual quests. Herein lay my dilemma–I am a psychotherapist not a spiritual adviser and I wanted to remain a therapist. I vowed that I would not give up my profession nor my quest to integrate spirituality into my practice. I learned about the workshop online and after reading about the Enneagram, I wanted to know more and committed to attend this workshop.
I went, I learned and I experienced. Most importantly, I found what I had known I would someday be led to. This workshop was my answer. Roxanne Howe–Murphy and Ronna Phifer–Ritchie are wise, warm and knowledgeable facilitators. So much of what they taught was not only from Riso–Hudson, but also grew out of their own experience in working with the Enneagram. The fact that they could really resonate with what they were delivering was quite apparent. As they augmented their delivery with inviting us to explore together as a group, they provided an amazing environment for us to fully participate with ourselves and each other. They worked wonderfully together while presenting a theory of personality development that spoke to my own experiential struggle to overcome this illusion of an ego-based life and embrace the reality of a spiritual one. This workshop provided me with the tools for self-awareness and a hope for transformation. I met myself at the divine level that I know I want to live and work from. I look forward to taking future workshops with them.—Mary Keown–Watkins, MA, MFT

I attended a Wisdom of the Enneagram workshop in Burlingame, CA, led by Roxanne Howe-Murphy and Ronna Phifer-Ritchie. My initial reservations as to whether I would be able to grasp the concepts and “get anything out of this” soon vanished — these gals are awesome. I soon realized that the Enneagram is a powerful tool and Roxanne and Ronna know how to teach it. For me there were lots of “ah–ha” moments and by the end of the workshop I walked away feeling that this was one of the most profound experiences of my life. It has left my hungry for more.—Jan H, Bakersfield, CA

Roxanne and Ronna offer a safe container in which to embrace and transform our Enneagram patterns. This is the most useful day–to–day application of Riso-Hudson Enneagram material. Thank you for leading us through the experience in such a thoughtful, loving way.—Brian Brieling, MFT
