 Thank you for your interest in the Lifethemes Enneagram workshops with Thomas Condon. We present these workshops at various locations around the country and you will find our upcoming dates on the listed on the workshop calendar and registration form below.

 Tom has worked with the Enneagram since 1980 and with Ericksonian hypnosis and NLP since 1977. These three models are combined in his trainings to offer a powerful blend of therapeutic tools.  The workshops concentrate on how to see and use the Enneagram dynamically, as a springboard to positive change.  Most participants report personal and professional breakthroughs as well as a deeper sense of freedom and choice.

 Our most popular training, the Lifethemes Personal Changework Weekend, provides an opportunity to work effectively on Enneagram issues you may have struggled with. The workshop offers a friendly, supportive environment and techniques for working with the limits of your personality style.  Tom will emphasize the different resources contained within each style and you may also find a new appreciation for how your Enneagram "part" serves you.  Tom works with as many volunteers as possible, demonstrating approaches to change that he continues to develop. The workshop's goal is to help you resolve underlying issues that drive personality defenses, loosening compulsive habits of perception so you can live more fully in the present.

 The Lifethemes Professional Training will show you how to put your Enneagram knowledge to work.  The workshop is primarily designed for professionals who want to acquire 'hands-on" skills, although its usefulness will extend to anyone wishing to actively apply the Enneagram.  The emphasis will be on constructive insights and positive ways of working with yourself and others.  You will learn techniques for tailoring communication so that it is best understood by different personality styles.  There will also be a focus on 'secondary gains' - the hidden motives and unconscious agendas that drive Enneagram styles.  In addition, we will explore NLP techniques like anchoring, reframing and therapeutic metaphor - the art of telling stories to create change. All are techniques that can be applied to many situations and professional clienteles.

 Both trainings contain material that assumes you have some idea of your own Enneagram style.  If you are new to the Enneagram, we recommend that you read one of Helen Palmer's or Don Riso's books as an introduction to the nine styles.  The workshops will provide a chance to better understand yourself and the motivations of people you know.  If you already have some acquaintance with the Enneagram, Tom's groups are an ideal occasion to gather new skills and further evolve the possibilities of your style.  No special knowledge of NLP or Ericksonian hypnosis is required to benefit from any of our Enneagram workshops.

 The two-day weekend workshops will run from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm on the Saturday and finish about 5:00 pm on the Sunday afternoon.  Space is limited to groups of fifteen to twenty, and the workshops are expected to fill.  If you wish to reserve a place, please fill in our registration form and send it with your deposit to the Bend, Oregon address below.

 We hope you can make it to one of our workshops and look forward to seeing you.  If you have any further questions, please feel free to call me at The Changeworks (541-382-1894).  Thank you again for your interest.

Sincerely,

1998 Lifethemes Summer Intensive
at the Inn of the 7th Mountain
Bend, Oregon USA


Dear Friend,

 Thank you for your interest in Thomas Condon's Lifethemes Summer Intensive Enneagram training in Bend, Oregon, June 22-26, 1998. The Intensive is designed to help you go further into the Enneagram, and will focus on approaches and techniques that help each different style evolve and grow.  Tom continues to make new discoveries and the five days will combine lecture and demonstrations with discussion and experiential exercises.  The emphasis will be on constructive insight into how to resolve the specific problems or "stuck points" of each style.

 Tom has worked with the Enneagram since 1980 and with Ericksonian hypnosis and NLP since 1977.  This is the first time these three models have been combined - together they produce a powerful blend of therapeutic tools. No special knowledge of NLP or Ericksonian hypnosis is required to benefit from the Summer Intensive. We will assume, however, that you are familiar with the Enneagram, and some exercises will presume that you have already identified your style.

 If you are new to the Enneagram, we would suggest that some introduction to the nine types would be very helpful before attending a Summer Intensive.  There are many good introductory courses available. If you wish to come without any other workshop experience, we would recommend reading at least two of the books available on the Enneagram, especially The Enneagram by Helen Palmer and Personality Types by Don Richard Riso.  Also recommended is Tom Condon's tape set, Easy In Your Harness, which is edited from a Lifethemes workshop.  Tom's tape set contains a $50 discount coupon which can be applied to any of his trainings.

 The seminar will take place in beautiful Central Oregon at the popular Inn of the Seventh Mountain.  The Inn lies at the edge of a pine forest on the flanks of the Cascade mountains. It is a full resort with condominium style rooms and many amenities including: swimming, tennis, golf, horseback riding, canoeing, patio-boating, white water rafting, fishing, roller skating, hay rides, hiking, mountain biking or just relaxing in the sauna and spa.

 The workshop schedule will be organized to allow maximum flexibility and opportunity to enjoy your free time. We will have two 3-hour sessions daily with either mornings or afternoons free, to be decided on the first morning of the workshop. Many activities can be arranged through the Inn of the 7th Mountain. The Inn has a day-care center and day camps for children. Rock climbing and sight-seeing excursions can also be arranged.
 
 Bend is located on the dry, sunny side of the state, 160 miles southeast of Portland, Oregon. If you are flying, ask your travel agent for prices to the Redmond/Bend airport in Oregon. Most flights are routed through Portland and then continue to Redmond/Bend. The Inn has a shuttle service available on advance request from the airport to its doorstep, and we can also send you information about commercial travel services upon registration. Car rentals are a good idea for the area (there is no public transport in Bend).  There is no passenger train service but Greyhound buses do travel to Bend.  For those who dislike commuter flights, there is a daily bus shuttle from Portland airport into Bend.

 Early registration is advised. A block of rooms has been reserved at the Inn with a special workshop rate. Rooms and meals are not included in the workshop price. There are restaurants on site at the resort and a small store.  Many of the rooms have kitchens. 

 The Inn is seven miles from Bend and can arrange for a shuttle service into town. It is possible also to arrange somewhat more economical accommodations in Bend proper (7 miles from the Inn). We will send you detailed area information upon registration.

 All room reservation inquiries should be made directly with the Inn of the 7th Mountain. Call: 1-800-452-6810 or 541-382-8711. Be sure to mention the Changeworks Summer Intensive when you call.

 We hope you can join us in June and we look forward to seeing you. Our past Summer Intensives have been a great combination of new learning in a holiday atmosphere. If you have any further questions about either the workshop or Central Oregon, please feel free to call me at The Changeworks (1-541-382-1894). Thank you again for your interest.
     
Sincerely,
