A 3-Day Miracles Retreat
MIRACLES, ENNEAGRAM & PURPOSE
Working with A Course in Miracles
and the Enneagram for LIVING YOUR PURPOSE
With Robert and Hollie Holden
“There is a place in you where nothing
Is impossible. There is a place in you
where the strength of God abides”
A Course in Miracles
Join Hollie and Robert Holden for a unique 3-day retreat working with both A Course in Miracles and the Enneagram to help you live a purpose-centered life.
Miracles, Enneagram & Purpose features nine classes over three days. In each class, we will study teachings and practices of A Course in Miracles that correspond with the nine Points and Types of the Enneagram.
The Enneagram is an ancient self-awareness model over 2,000 years old. Like A Course in Miracles, it offers you a path of spiritual growth to “know thyself’ better, overcome your fears, heal your wounds, change your thinking, make your relationships more loving, and live your purpose.
Here’s a flavour of how each class will work. In Class 1, for example, we will visit Enneagram Point 1, which is home base for Ennea-type 1 - The Perfectionist. We start with an ACIM meditation for the Holy Idea of this Enneagram Point, which is Holy Perfection. Then we offer practices and teachings from ACIM that helps the Perfectionist in us all to be less self-critical, more self-accepting, and better able to experience the holy perfection we are looking for.
“A healed mind does not plan. ²It carries out the plans that it receives through listening to wisdom that is not its own,” says the Course. At Point 7, we meet the Enthusiast. We explore Course teachings on “a call to joy”, “seek not outside yourself”, “a journey without a distance”, the “holy instant”, and saying YES to the holy plan for your life.
Class 8: Surrender to a Higher Power
"Who would attempt to fly with the tiny wings of a sparrow when the mighty power of an eagle has been given him?” asks the Course. At Point 8, we meet the Challenger. We explore Course teachings on original innocence, ego-anger and vengeance, and on surrendering your self-reliance [“ego power”] so as to connect with a higher purpose and a higher power.
Class 9: Being a Peacemaker in the World
The Course encourages us to “remember the plan of God for the restoration of joy and peace.” At Point 9, we meet the Peacemaker. We explore Course teachings on being a “bringer of peace’, of healing conflict in ourselves, uniting with the “holy love of God”, and offering your “gentle smile” and “love’s presence” to the world.
No previous experience of The Enneagram is necessary for this course. We do recommend you take an Enneagram Test to benefit fully.
