Sacred Enneagram Weekend Workshop


  • Rolling Ridge Retreat and Conference Center 660 Great Pond Road North Andover, MA, 01845 United States (map)

Come join The Men of Illuman New England for a deep dive into the spiritual wisdom of The Enneagram.  This interactive retreat will start with dinner on Friday, April 14, 2023 and conclude mid-day, Sunday, April 16.  

Your experience will be enriched if you have some familiarity with your Enneagram type.   Men who are unfamiliar with their primary type and their wings are encouraged to use the link and/or book below to help them discern it.  We also recommend reading the book, The Sacred Enneagram by Christopher Heuertz.

To get started, you are invited to use  The Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator to identify your type and your triad.  Another useful resource is The Essential Enneagram by David Daniels and Virginia Price [ISBN 97-0-06-171316-3].  The cost of each is around $10.00.  Part of the retreat will involve each of us sharing about how our type suggests our strengths when we are at the top of our game, and our challenges when we are under stress.  We will also be especially curious to explore how the Enneagram gives us insight into our spiritual development. 

The retreat will provide each of us with the opportunity to learn – from prerecorded video presentations, small group sharing, large group processing, and time spent wandering in nature. Weather permitting, there will be a campfire on Saturday night to further deepen our connection with self, others, and the divine.
