A Retreat for Men & Women in St. Mary’s City, Maryland
Co-Sponsored by: Illuman DC & Trinity Episcopal Church, St. Mary’s City
“The Enneagram is a dynamic system for self-knowledge and spiritual transformation. It is a wonderful tool that can help us see and let go of the false self—which masks the image of God within us—and allow us to live from our True Self—the unique manifestation of Love that God intends us to be.” ~ Richard Rohr
The Enneagram is much more than just another popular formula to pair people to the collection of their personality foibles and eccentricities. It explains the “why” of how we think, act, and feel. It helps us come to terms with our gifts as well as the addictive patterns that tether us to our greatest interpersonal, spiritual, and emotional challenges. The Enneagram invites us to deeper self-awareness as a doorway to spiritual growth. ~ Christopher L. Heuertz, The Sacred Enneagram: Finding Your Unique Path to Spiritual Growth
