A Mind–Body Immersion

 

A half-day mind–body immersion that uses movement, reflection, and Enneagram-informed insight to help you meet challenge with clarity instead of avoidance.

Train your body. Understand your patterns. Strengthen your response to challenge.

When Life Gets Uncomfortable, Most of Us Default to Habit

 

Stress, uncertainty, and challenge don’t usually show up as big dramatic moments — they appear in subtle ways:

  • tension in the body

  • rushing or freezing

  • overthinking or checking out

  • pushing harder or pulling back

Most of us react automatically, using patterns that once kept us safe — but no longer serve us.

This retreat slows that moment down, so you can see your patterns clearly and respond with intention instead of habit.

This Experience Is For You If


 

 

  • You feel ready for growth beyond “staying comfortable”

  • You notice recurring stress patterns in your body or emotions

  • You want clarity, not just motivation

  • You value self-awareness and embodied learning

  • You’re open, curious, and willing to meet challenge with support

  • You want practical tools — not theory alone


This is not about fixing yourself — it’s about understanding how you respond and learning how to work with that more skillfully.

Where Your Patterns Show Up

 

On the Mat

Ever waited for a pose to end just to escape the feeling? That same “urge to flee” appears in tough conversations and uncertain decisions.

In Strength Work

When load feels heavy, some push harder, some hold their breath, some quit early — three nervous system strategies, not character flaws.

Emotionally

Some over-solve, some withdraw, some over-commit — because it’s familiar, not because it’s effective.

How It Works: Movement, Awareness, and the Enneagram Map

 

This half-day immersion uses the body as the entry point for insight.

Through strength + yoga-based movement, guided reflection, and Enneagram-informed exploration, you’ll observe how your patterns emerge under challenge.

The Enneagram is an ancient tool that can be described as a map for understanding human development showing where to start but also your potential of where you could go if you take this journey.

You won’t be labeled or boxed in.


Instead, you’ll use the map to build compassionate awareness of how your mind, body, and emotions respond — and how to work with those patterns more intentionally.

  • Strength + yoga-based movement (all levels)

  • Body-based nervous system awareness

  • Enneagram-informed reflection

  • Guided journaling and small-group integration
