We are committed to developing a select team of people who have been steeped in "the work" of self-knowing, and who are committed to the vision of Enneagram Prison Project:  freeing people all over the world from the prisons of our own making.  EPP is a diverse group, drawn to one another across lines of geography, race, age, gender and religion who work together in order to realize our mission.  We are interested in learning about who you are and want to invite you to share who you have come to know yourself to be in a meaningful way.  We invite you to take your time with this application process and thank you for expressing the desire to be an EPP Correspondent.
