The Reynolda Conference format features public programming and research in progress discussions with faculty and invited guest presenters in private sessions.

Description: The Enneagram is a system of nine personality types combining traditional wisdom with modern psychology. A powerful tool for understanding ourselves and the people in our lives, participants will discuss each type, learn how to identity their own, and begin to make connections for their own personal and spiritual growth.
Leadership: Julie Smith, the Head of School at Salem Montessori. A lifelong educator, Julie first encountered the Enneagram decades ago when completing a Master of Arts in Counseling degree at UNC-Charlotte. She is currently pursuing certification through the Narrative Enneagram. Julie is married to Tim, her husband of 35 years and a mother of three grown children. Reading, cooking, traveling and spending time in nature are all things she loves to do. Julie believes the study of the self, coupled with the opening of the heart, allow the world to be renewed.
