The Transition Tightrope
Happy New Year – now is a time to reflect, to set intentions; a time to reset, and if you’re feeling courageous or adventuresome, a perfect time for making transitions. […]

Renée and Margot have just returned from Vallambrosa, the retreat center where the Enneagram in the Narrative Tradition is taught, studied and practice by individuals from all over the world. […]
This phrase, “feelings are not emergencies,” was uttered to me over twenty years ago by my clinical group supervisor. I was just out of graduate school and had begun a […]

It’s the end of the year and I want to write something insightful and inspiring. It needs to be authentic, witty, and touching too. It’s how I set myself up […]
Ah resistance, my friend. You come in many disguises and sometimes I don’t recognize you. As a core aspect of ego, I love to hate you, to blame you, to […]

Renée brings a tender touch of compassion as a teacher, allowing space for all that wants to come up for her students. I was first introduced to the narrative tradition through Renee’s masterful facilitation and now believe it is a powerful process. Renée is also able to bring her knowledge and wisdom of evolutionary spirituality into her teachings of the Enneagram, which I highly appreciate.
I have been working with Renée and exploring the Enneagram for over 2 years now. The time I’ve spent with Renée in her office and in her classes has been the guiding light on my spiritual and psychological journey.
I have grown much deeper compassion for myself and others through the enneagram. My partner and I use the enneagram every day to understand and relate to each other; we’re able to see past our initial reactions and enter into a much greater place of love, empathy and connection. What a beautiful gift!
I can’t thank Renée enough for introducing me to this heart opening and life changing system.
I wanted to thank you for your well run Enneagram workshop in Boulder last fall. As a non-professional “newbee” to the Enneagram I was fascinated. It was soooo informative. Just when I think I figure myself out, I go and get surprised all over again! I hope to come again to some future event and get surprised at myself again! I have read several Enneagram books but being among people who are also hungry for more understanding was inspiring (eye-opening, uncomfortable, and refreshing all at the same time!)
The workshop I did with Renée brought me so much more than I had expected. I showed up relatively knowledgeable about my type, hoping to learn more about myself (I’m a self-referencing type, hahaha). While I certainly left with fresh insights about how I operate, the greatest gift was a deeper understanding of the other types. Her warm, patient, and skillful guidance helped everyone in the room share their own, unique perspectives. This left me with far greater compassion for others, humility about my own, partial perspective, and some skills for relating with others with more authenticity and love. My relationships with others now have a chance to become deeper, more genuine, and more fulfilling. This was infinitely valuable.
Renée Rosario is an extraordinarily gifted teacher whose insight, humor and compassion have touched my soul. From Renée, I have come to understand and accept myself better and see my habitual ways of living as remnants of an early-developed coping style. I have also learned how to turn off my critical, judgmental mind and regard myself (and others) from a compassionate and positive point of view. Most importantly, Renée has taught me valuable lessons about the virtues and highest good that we all inherently possess.
Renée brings exceptional presence and warmth to her teaching which creates an open, safe, and supportive space to delve into the breath and depth of the enneagram. This work has helped me see my own, as well as others, deeper motivations which has facilitated change, release of judgments, and greater freedom of being. Renée is gifted and heartful teacher.
