Exploring the Harmony Triads through the Somatic Enneagram
February 4–6, 2027 | Dallas, Texas
Led by Marion Gilbert & Aaron Manes
At the Retreat House Spirituality Center
Knowing your Enneagram type can offer remarkable insight into the patterns that shape the way you think, feel, relate, and move through the world. But insight is only the beginning. The deeper invitation of the Enneagram is not simply to understand our patterns, but to become present enough to experience them and discover that we have choices beyond them.
The Way of Presence is a three-day, in-person retreat exploring the Harmony Triads (Power, Flow, and Blend) and the practice of three-centered living through the Somatic Enneagram. Rather than approaching the Enneagram primarily through concepts and personality descriptions, we will turn toward the lived experience of the body and explore what happens when head, heart, and body begin working together.
When we become reactive, one part of us can easily take over. We may become caught in thinking, overwhelmed by feeling, or propelled into automatic action. Somatic practice helps us slow that process down. By developing our capacity to notice sensation, attention, emotion, and energy as they arise, we create more space between stimulus and response—and greater access to the wisdom already available within us.
Guided by Somatic Enneagram founder and teacher Marion Gilbert and spiritual coach and Somatic Enneagram faculty member Aaron Manes, this retreat will create a spacious environment for inner work, contemplative practice, embodied learning, and community. We will explore the distinct movements of Power, Flow, and Blend through teaching, movement, guided meditation, and live Enneagram panel inquiry.
Rather than simply learning more about yourself, you are invited to experience yourself differently.
Registration includes the retreat program and one designated meal and refreshments as described in the event schedule.
Each attendee is responsible for their own transportation, lodging, and accommodations.
Participants traveling to Dallas will need to arrange their own lodging.
Several meals will also be on your own, creating opportunities to gather informally with other retreat participants.

What You Will Experience
Throughout the retreat, Marion and Aaron will guide participants through a rhythm of teaching, embodied practice, reflection, and integration.
We will explore the Harmony Triads and how these different movements of energy express themselves through the nine Enneagram types. Live panel inquiry will offer an opportunity to witness these patterns as embodied experiences rather than simply descriptions on a page.
Somatic practices and movement will invite you to notice how your own patterns arise through sensation and felt sense. Guided meditation and contemplative practice will provide space to slow down, listen inwardly, and allow what you are learning to become personally meaningful.
Throughout the three days, we will continually return to the practice of three-centered living: cultivating greater relationship among head, heart, and body so that no single center has to carry the whole of our experience.
This is not simply an Enneagram workshop. It is a retreat; an intentional space to step away from ordinary rhythms, become curious about what is happening within you, and practice another way of being.

What You Will Gain
The Enneagram becomes transformational when it moves beyond information and becomes something we can experience within ourselves.
Through this retreat, you will deepen your understanding of how your Enneagram structure operates somatically and begin recognizing the subtle ways Power, Flow, and Blend influence your everyday relationships, decisions, reactions, and patterns.
You will practice noticing reactivity through the felt experience of head, heart, and body and develop greater capacity to remain present rather than immediately following familiar patterns.
As the three centers come into greater relationship, something else becomes possible: choice.
Instead of automatically reacting, we can become curious. Instead of being governed by personality, we can access greater flexibility. Instead of knowing ourselves only through the stories we tell about ourselves, we can begin listening to the intelligence of the whole person.
You will leave with a deeper understanding of the Harmony Triads, practical somatic and contemplative practices you can continue at home, and an invitation toward a more integrated way of living - with greater presence, resilience, compassion, and freedom.
