“The Enneagram is the most powerful system I know for

releasing inner blocks to love, happiness and success.”

Robert Holden

Join Robert Holden on a 4-Day retreat with Alternatives in the beautiful Montserrat Monastery in Catalonia Spain – diving deep into the timeless wisdom of the Enneagram to help you experience practical growth and transformation in your life.

Over four days, Robert guides you on the nine soul journeys of the Enneagram. He will coach you on the basic anatomy of the nine personality types of the Enneagram – the helper, achiever, perfectionist, peacemaker, etc.  He will also lead you on a soul meditation for each of the nine points of the Enneagram.

In an intimate setting, Robert shares how he uses the Enneagram as a daily spiritual practice and also in his work.  “I’m so grateful I know about the Enneagram.  It has helped me in every area of my life – my writing, being a parent, my friendships, being a coach, everything!” says Robert.

At the Montserrat Monastery - one of the most inspiring places on earth – Robert draws on teachings from the wisdom traditions, mysticism, poetry, works of literature, sacred art and Hollywood (!) to bring the Enneagram alive and help you use it practically in your life. 

You will learn about:

Purpose of Enneagram – how to use the enneagram to be less of a type, and more of the who you really are!
