The Inward Turn Retreat
The Somatic Enneagram™ Inward Turn Retreat offers a transformative opportunity to explore the Enneagram through the wisdom of the body. Grounded in the understanding that our type structures live in our nervous systems—shaping our thoughts, emotions, and instinctual responses—this retreat invites participants into a deeper, more embodied experience of healing and personal growth.
Through guided somatic practices, teaching, and reflection, participants learn to recognize and release the deeply ingrained defense patterns of their Enneagram type. With the support of skilled facilitators, this retreat creates space to access essential states of being, reconnect with inner wholeness, and integrate the wisdom of the body, heart, and mind. Whether you’re new to somatic work or ready to take your Enneagram journey to the next level, this immersive experience offers lasting tools for transformation and inner freedom.
What You Will Experience
Throughout this retreat, you’ll be guided into a deeper awareness of how your Enneagram type lives in your body—how it shows up as tension, contraction, reactivity, or avoidance. Each day offers a rhythm of somatic practices, teaching sessions, and quiet reflection to help you attune to your inner landscape. As you move through this work, you’ll begin to recognize the habitual patterns and defense mechanisms that have been wired into your nervous system since early in life.
In a supportive and grounded environment, you’ll be invited to slow down, breathe deeply, and gently turn inward. Through practices designed to reconnect the body, heart, and mind, you’ll explore how to stay present with difficult emotions and sensations without being overwhelmed by them. The retreat space offers room for rest, integration, and reconnection—with your essential self, with the Divine, and with the natural rhythms of your body. Whether in group sessions, on walks in nature, or in moments of stillness, the experience will open a path to embodied presence and lasting transformation.
What You Will Gain
You will leave this retreat with a renewed connection to your body’s innate wisdom and a clearer understanding of how your Enneagram type operates beneath the surface. You’ll gain practical tools to recognize and interrupt reactive patterns, create new pathways for presence, and cultivate more spaciousness in your relationship with yourself and others.
This work offers more than insight—it offers integration. You’ll develop greater trust in your capacity to be with discomfort, clarity in how to move through emotional or energetic stuckness, and deeper alignment with your true self. Whether you're supporting others in healing work or seeking transformation in your own life, you'll return home with an embodied framework for continued growth, resilience, and freedom.
