LEARN about the connecting lines, heart and stress points, wings, the Inner Triangle, the Inner Flow of the Enneagram, and the “Soul Child” within. DISCOVER and deepen into contemplative practices, such as centering prayer, inner observer, and somatic inquiry, designed to support a life of greater authenticity, inspiration, and soul. EXPLORE group processes as well as individual reflection practices, and an opportunity to “walk the Enneagram” as a symbol of wholeness and unity.
Join Rev. Nhien on the beautiful grounds of Holy Family Retreat Center in West Hartford, CT, for this “soul journey” with the Enneagram, open to individuals of all faith and non-faith backgrounds. This is a spiritual space without dogma in which we will explore coming “full circle” into a knowing of your own wholeness and unity with life–using the psycho-spiritual map of the Enneagram.
