This retreat is hosted by the Ignatius Jesuit Centre with Christa Hesselink guiding all weekend long.
The goal of this weekend experience is to slow yourself down in a restoring retreat setting and gain valuable tools for self-reflection and awareness building. Over the course of the weekend, Christa will be leading you to gain deeper understanding of the Enneagram and how to use it well in your own life for your personal transformation.
The content of the sessions will be designed for those who are brand new to the Enneagram, and for those who are more seasoned, advanced, and knowledgeable. Everyone will walk away with a deeper understanding of themselves and new, spiritual practices of support.
The weekend sessions will build on one another and will include:
-Understanding the foundational concepts of Self as a way to frame the Enneagram tool
-Digging into the nine types without drowning in overwhelm
-Exploring the important core principles that often get lost in our “ennea-meme” culture
-Address where the Enneagram comes from, and how it differs from other typology and personality assessments
-Highlight the gifts of each type and how you can move into your true vocation as a human being
-Discover the basic fears and coping strategy of each type and do some concrete work and practicing how these fears grip and our coping strategies limit us
-Uncover our habits of emotional and mental attention and lean in and learn more about what gives us our super-powers, and what’s getting in our way of our flourishing
-Learning about the “laws of behaviour” and a transformational model that you can use as you feel triggered in certain situations.
-Digging into tangible spiritual practices for each enneagram type
The schedule and pace of the weekend will also offer meaningful times of personal reflection, ample opportunity to ask questions, connection with others, delicious food, and the cozy, restoring environment of retreat.
