    Enneagram Workshop

    ~ The Enneagram Window into Character ~

    Coming on Saturday September 15th is a wonderful workshop offered free to the public by our chapter. Do you know what an enneagram is? It’s an amazing tool. It can help you understand yourself better. It can help you understand others. And if you are a writer it can help you develop complex characters with deep emotional ties to others.

    Come and find out more. 10:30 to 1:30 at Barnes & Noble in Vestal NY.
