The Emmaus House Team 

 

Ann  O'Sullivan brought the MBTI® into the UK in 1980 and has been facilitating the learning of this instrument over the past 28 years, bringing to it a wealth of understanding and practical use.  She has worked in many countries and with a wide variety of people.  As an associate of OPP (Oxford Psychologists' Press) and a member of their Training Faculty, she works on all the sponsored professional MBTI® training programmes at Emmaus House in Bristol.  She has developed a number of two-day workshops (some taught with other OPP associates) for those who are qualified practitioners and others who are interested in various areas of the MBTI®: Type Dynamics, Type for Trainers, Managing Change, Team Building and Team Work, Conflict and Stress and Coaching and Leadership, as well as offering basic MBTI® training on a 1:1 basis. 

After a number of years teaching the Enneagram personality system in a didactic form, she trained with Helen Palmer and David Daniels in the Oral Tradition of the Enneagram and qualified in 1995.  Here too, she has continued to develop a number of workshops and has involved other teachers in presenting them. 

Ann brings a creative edge to her work, especially in Liturgy and different forms of worship/prayer and retreats, for she finds it a privilege to be with others on their life’s journey. Whilst often working with groups, she offers individual spiritual accompaniment and coaching.

Margaret Harlock is a sister of La Retraite with considerable experience in spiritual accompaniment and retreat giving.  Among many interests she has a particular enthusiasm for the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius and appropriate adaptations.  This interest was developed during a year with the team at the Jesuit Spirituality Centre at Guelph, Canada.  Since then she has worked in Birmingham and London and in more recent years she has been enriched by the experience of working in spirituality, with both groups and individuals, in South Africa and Cameroon.

 

Michael Healy grew up in Bristol, learning the three Rs of reading, writing and rugby at St Brendan's College, before studying in Rome for seven years.  There he read Philosophy and Theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University, obtaining degrees in both.  Ordained a Priest for Clifton Diocese in 1971, he has been working in parishes ever since.  At present, he is Parish Priest of St Pius X, Withywood, Bristol and Sacred Heart Parish in Chew Magna, yet somehow manages to combine this with his spiritual teaching at Emmaus House.  Being part of the team here, he specialises in teaching both scripture and the Enneagram as valuable guides in spiritual practice.

Elizabeth-Ann Llewellin began training and experience in spiritual direction and prayer guiding in 1981.  Since then she has followed weekend courses and the St Bueno’s training for prayer guidance and in Berkeley, USA.  She has had experience of guiding individuals over the long term and through 6 and 8 day retreats and weeks of guided prayer in parishes, both in the UK and South Africa.
