The Invitation

Beneath the personality,
the body remembers.

The Enneagram is often met in the mind, as a map of nine ways of being. The Somatic Enneagram, developed by Marion Gilbert, takes us deeper: into the body, where our earliest survival strategies still live as automatic reactivity, quietly shaping how we move through our days and our relationships.

This retreat is an invitation to descend out of the head and into the felt sense of the body, to cultivate the inner observer that lets us notice a pattern the moment it arises. In that small space between the trigger and the reaction, something new becomes possible: a real choice, and a return to the present moment.

Across the weekend we work with all three centers, mind, heart, and body, through embodied practice, meditation, guided inquiry, silence, and shared meals. What emerges is not just insight but a living inner practice: greater compassion for yourself, more presence in your closest relationships, and a steadier way of meeting whatever life brings. Whether you are meeting the Enneagram for the first time or bring a more advanced understanding, you are warmly welcome here.

Two Ways to Gather

Choose your experience

This is slow, inward work, so the weekend is kept to 12 participants. An intentionally intimate circle where it feels safe to soften and be seen.

Lunch is included. We close at 4:30 p.m. No overnight stay required.

The Place

🚗

🥾
Trail Notes Trails are wide and well-maintained but naturally rocky. Not recommended for those with significant mobility challenges.

Kindred Forest is in an active process of ecological restoration. During your stay you may observe cut trees, areas of prescribed burning, brush piles, and newly planted native species. This work is central to the land's healing and feels, somehow, like the right company for a retreat about tending what grows in us.
