  • The Enneagram and Transformation

    As a grateful member of the Institute for Conscious Being founded by Lark and Joe Howell, I found this podcast encouraging and inspiring. If you are drawn to personal healing through a loving and soulful connection, Joe’s words about the ICB and its Enneagram community will be most helpful. Hugh Ballou’s questions and comments were timely and very well chosen. I look forward to listening to more podcasts from this series. Thank you to both Hugh and to Joe.
