An Invitation to Deepen Self-Awareness in the Company of Brothers and the Natural World
Join us for a weekend retreat where the wisdom of the Enneagram meets the healing and insight of time spent in nature. Through teachings, ritual, music, story, and solo time outdoors, this retreat offers a grounded, embodied approach to spiritual growth.
Over the course of three days, we’ll move beyond simply identifying our Enneagram type and begin to explore how the fullness of all nine types show up within us. Nature will serve as our teacher and companion, guiding us to a more integrated experience of self and spirit.
This gathering is for any man longing to reconnect—with himself, with the earth, and with the sacred story unfolding in his life.
