I very much enjoyed the Enneagram through the heroes journey and loved the linking to the pints that each type goes to as well.

tried both firefox and chrome up-to-date versions. in the introduction section "what is enneagram" and "what is hero's enneagram" will not play. "what is hero journey" does play. this discrepancy suggests that the fault is in the video and not my browser. i might try to take this course again if the videos will all play. thank you for your attention.
