SUMMARY:Dreams and the Enneagram
DESCRIPTION:On-site \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDue to unforseen circumstances\, we have to cancel this retreat. Apologies for any inconvenience! \n\n\n\nOur ancestors in the faith knew dreams to be a communication from God.

Along with our dreams\, we will utilize the ancient spiritual tradition\, the Enneagram\, in the soul work of this retreat. Therefore\, knowledge of the Enneagram and particularly\, of one’s personality type\, is required.  \n\n\n\nPlease register by April 29. \n\n\n\nAfter we receive your registration\, you can expect to receive a confirmation email from us which will include your invoice. We never want our retreat costs to be prohibitive to anyone who wants to attend our programs and so we offer scholarships. Fill out our simple scholarship request form now! \n\n\n\n*Read about our cancellation and refund policy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSr. Therese Elias\n\n\n\nS.
