The invitation to be together and explore our humanness and our divine essence is a sacred one. During this very special retreat weekend,  we will use the map of the Enneagram to discover how our personality structure is calling us inward to become curious about, seek contact with and begin to understand, who is inside having all these experiences. We will center our time around the questions:

  • “How does our horizontal: hunter/gatherer reality intersect with the vertical: spiritual reality?”
  • “What is it that allows us to access and reconcile the split between these two often disparate realities?”
  • “How do we take our spiritual experiences into our daily lives and learn how to relax reactivity at the root of the arising?” 

Please note: This retreat will be most beneficial if you have a basic understanding of the Enneagram and a relative grasp on which type you most identify with. If your personal type is unclear, Marion will do her best to help you uncover it.
