This retreat is designed to introduce beginners to the Enneagram, as well as provide those with a more advanced understanding of the nine distinct personality types a deeper path to their spiritual journey. Included will be combined sessions for all attendees, optional Centering Prayer opportunities, and concurrent breakout sessions, where Jim will meet with those new to the Enneagram, while Lynette will explore deeper insights available within the nine personality types for those more experienced.
