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.

• Class 1: Living a Good Life
  “Child of God, you were created to create the good, the beautiful and the holy. Do not forget this” teaches A Course in Miracles. At Point 1, we meet the Perfectionist. We address the fear of “not being good enough” and how to re-align with our “original goodness” to live a blessed life that serves the highest good and greater good in each other.
  
  Class 2: Being a Miracle Worker
  “I am entrusted with the Gifts of God,” teaches the Course, and “no gift of God can be unshared.” At Point 2, we meet the Helper (also called the Giver). We explore Course teachings on being a miracle-receiver, healing unhealthy sacrifice, honouring your soul gifts, praying the Helper’s Prayer, and connecting with the Holy Will of Creation.
  
  Class 3: An Instrument for the Divine
  “It cannot be that it is hard to do the task that Christ appointed you to do, since it is He Who does it,” teaches the Course. At Point 3, we meet the Achiever (also called the Doer). We explore Course teachings on “undoing the ego”, accepting your “divine worthiness”, being a “miracle worker” and an instrument for the ‘true purpose” of life.
  
  Class 4: Embracing Your Special Function
  “The Holy Spirit needs your special function, so that His [Holy Purpose] may be fulfilled,” teaches the Course. At Point 4, we meet the Individualist. We explore Course teachings on being a “beautiful child of God”, healing your special wound, the function of forgiveness, and being “joined in one purpose” with God.
  
  Class 5: The Light of the World
  “You are the light of the world. God has built His plan for the salvation of His Son on you,” teaches the Course. At Point 5, we meet the Investigator. We explore Course teaches on “seeing the world differently” and “reversing the thinking of the world” to enable you to live an inspired and light-filled life.
  
  Class 6: Living a Guided Life
  “The presence of fear is a sure sign that you are trusting in your own strength,” teaches the Course. And, “If you knew Who walks beside you on the way that you have chosen, fear would be impossible.” At Point 6, we meet the Loyalist. We explore Course teachings on the “detour into fear”, recognizing spiritual guidance, practising holy faith, and choosing between fear and love.
• 
  Class 7: Following the Holy Plan

  “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.
