4 Myers

Myers Briggs Typology Indicator Workshops

The Myers–Briggs Typology Indicator (MBTI) uses insights mainly from Jungian psychology to help us understand ourselves and others. It explores personality in terms of preferences to make us more aware of ourselves and how we can maximise our own talents and gifts and also those with whom we interact.

Each day will run from 10.00am to 4.00pm at St Antony’s Priory , 74 Claypath, Durham, DH1 1QT (Tel & Fax: 0191 384 3747). Lunch will be provided.

There is a suggested donation of £25 for the first workshop, then £15 (£7 concessions) for each of the remaining three. Workshop 1 is more expensive due to cost of materials required to reveal your type. To book a place please telephone, or write, or email the Priory at *
