October 26, 2025, 1 – 5 p.m.
with Penelope Starr and Catherine Tornbom
Westside Tucson location
The Enneagram and SoulCollage® are two techniques of self-discovery that combine and complement each other. In this workshop, you will explore both systems in a supportive community, led by two experienced certified facilitators.

The Enneagram is a powerful system of nine personality types that reveals the unconscious motivations driving our thoughts, feelings, and actions. The Enneagram illuminates our core fears, desires, and the automatic patterns that both serve and limit us. Understanding your type offers insight into your inner world and develops compassion for others’ perspectives. To learn more: https://www.narrativeenneagram.org/
SoulCollage® is a creative process of self-discovery that uses found images, imagination, and intuition to create personal cards. It is accessible to everyone and requires no art-making experience. All you need is an open mind and a commitment to trust yourself and the process. To learn more about the SoulCollage® process, check out SoulCollage.com.
Catherine Tornbom became a Certified Enneagram Teacher in 2000. As an Organization Development Consultant specializing in conflict resolution, she has integrated the Enneagram into her business practice for over two decades.
