Our new parenting program, “There’s No Place Like Home: Intelligent Parenting for Today’s Family” unites three themes: the three centers of human intelligence and what each contributes to intelligent parenting, characters from the Wizard of Oz because they are related to the three centers, and the three styles of parenting that draw upon elements of the Enneagram. This presentation shows how elements of the Enneagram can be rearranged to support parents in discovering new patterns of thinking, feeling, and action in raising their children.

Kathy Hurley and Theodorre Donson, international Enneagram authors and practitioners, are known for innovation in Enneagram theory and applications. Founding board members of the IEA, Theodorre served as the IEA’s second president and Kathy as director of the IEA’s highly praised 1997 conference. For over 20 years they have focused their attention on spiritual heart practices in their family and in their professional programs. They enjoy learning about life from their grandsons.
