Internationally Recognized Enneagram Author Helen Palmer Launches Online Courses in Partnership with Tequa Productions

SEDONA, Arizona, Dec. 4, 2006 - Helen Palmer, Inc. (HPI) and Tequa Productions today announced an agreement to produce a series of online courses based upon Helen Palmer's work on the Enneagram.

The Enneagram is a dynamic system of personality types that explores human behavior through the structures of nine individual personality profiles, each with their own distinct and fundamentally different patterns of perceiving, feeling and behaving. Helen Palmer has been teaching this ancient typology for well over fifteen years, and is now, thanks to Tequa Productions, bringing the wisdom of the Enneagram to a global audience via online courses.

The online courses will be offered through partnerships with universities and other organizations around the world. John F. Kennedy University Continuing & Extended Education will be offering the first such course this coming January, 2007. The online course is entitled, "Using the Enneagram in Psychological Assessment and Practice". It is the first Enneagram course ever to be approved by the American Psychological Association for Continuing Education. JFKU will also offer the courses for personal enrichment as a non-clinically approved curriculum.

"Tequa made it simple to transition the work from books and seminar materials to a new online course" said Kath Gilliam, HPI VP of Operations. "Their system and experience were invaluable. They were there every step along the way, working hard to make sure our course was on time and on target. I simply could not imagine a better partner."

"We are very pleased to have HPI as a partner" said Ben Martella, Founding Director of Tequa Productions. "Helen's international status as an author and teacher of the Enneagram makes her endorsement very important to us. All of us were also touched by the insights in her work, and we are proud to have a role in bringing it to a global audience over the internet. We look forward to working with Helen and her team on the many adaptations her core work on the Enneagram will support."
