PlayBook
Once Upon a Time, a Movement Healer named Kate had a Brilliant Idea.
Kate's genius is integrating the nine movement forms she learned in Nia with the nine personality types of the Enneagram.
Since the Enneagram is rooted in three centers of the body (belly, heart and head), Kate discovered if she applied Enneagram concepts to her dance, she felt deeper and more meaningful connections leading to spiritual and psychological healing. In her
PlayShops, Kate shows people how movement impacts emotions. The Integration of mental, spiritual, and emotional elements into every day life is as simple as dancing.
EXPERIENCE A NEW HEALING MODALITY!
Kate Partners with Visionary Artist to Create A PlayBook
Kate invited her friend, an artist known only as DARLENE, to one of her PlayShops. DARLENE was impressed by her experience and immediately, her creative juices began to flow. At the close of the session, she envisioned a book about her experience. Thus began the collaboration process of between two independent women, a Type Seven (Kate) and Type Four (DARLENE) to create a PlayBook. Not only does Dancing The Enneagram PlayBook support Kate's PlayShop experience, the PlayBook includes the added dimension of color as a further means to understand and integrate the nine types.
EXPERIENCE A NEW HEALING MODALITY IN BOOK FORM!
Sample Pages (Type 3)
The artist/designer dedicated four pages to each of the nine types. The first page provides information in a readily accessible form, satisfying the intellect.
Page two represents visual communication—each illustration invites coloring and fosters creativity.
Through poetry, the third page expresses the Types’ associations and appeals to the intuition.
To speak to the emotions, the fourth page provides associations and information to navigate through issues that may be coming up.

Nanette Baltz:
"Dancing the Enneagram is a fantastic resource for people who wish to study their awareness and understanding of themselves and how they relate to others. Whether you choose to study the Enneagram prior to attending a Workshop, after taking a workshop to have a concise resource guide to refer later, or just to experience The Enneagram through the active coloring exercises, the information throughout the book is a valuable help. I give it 5 Stars!"

Lynda Heymen:
"The Enneagram (and the way that Kate delivers it) is serving to take me on a mystical path of self-discovery and self-acceptance. For me, it is a sacred bridge between what I know as a psychologist and what has puzzled me about myself and others."
