Introspection, reflection, storytelling, fun and explorations on our ways of being. If you appreciate what the Enneagram can do to deepen understanding and relationships, you will love being with everyone at our one-day retreats. There is nothing like experiencing folks talking about their perspective on instinct and type: Live and local. All with a general understanding of the system are most welcome to join this live and local community that continues to deepen and expand over time. Enneagram Newport and Enneagram Portland bring it all on in Fall (Portland) and Spring (Newport at the Coast)!
Note: Please bring what you require for your own comfort/coffee/snacks. A long lunch break is provided with ample restaurants and food-carts nearby. Participants are invited to a no-host dinner social at a nearby restaurant after the workshop. Once the retreat is full with 38 registrants, a waitlist will form. There are no refunds at any point unless a waitlister takes an open seat.

This from our Spring 2023 Retreat Day on Instincts, Types and Friendship.
I really really enjoyed the time at the beach with Enneagram friends. It was great to see old faces and to meet new people. The day was perfect in my view. Started on time, stayed on time and ended on time. Spacing of breaks and lunch made for a non-tiring day and I loved going out for Prom night with my buddies. And for sure would love to be able to look forward to a yearly spring beach/Enneagram day retreat. Aging, even death talk, family, shadow work. I enjoyed the small group work and came away with a new sense of ease with lowered expectations of friends and myself in relationship and with a sense of patience that I am loved and don't need to necessarily hear back from folks but to trust. 4 of the 6's in the group have started an e-mail/text check in and possible coffee time when everyone is in town. Thanks so much. - Winnie (6)
It was a rekindling of spirit, soul, and oxytocin. A mega ‘thank you’ to both of you. Love, - Doug J (1)
Hi! Thank you so much for the lovely retreat on Saturday. I learned a lot and have a greater appreciation for the diversity of enneagram. The timeline of the day was perfect. It went by fast. I'm not sure which topics were previously done but ideas for next could be: work, relationships/love, family, stress, resilience, grief/loss, aging. Again, thank you for everything! Looking forward to more moments with you. Warmly, - Andrea L (2)
Dale and Deb ~ Yes, friendship IS a blessing and we are all doubly blessed to have you two in our lives. Thank you both so much for your collaborative effort in making our friendship retreat both a group and individual growth adventure. Glad to have you back in the up-close- and-personal workshop arena. It was a perfect re-entry ! With love, - Taylor W (1)
Dale and Deb, Thank you for facilitating the conference on friendship. I came away from this day together feeling enlightened and inspired. It was especially meaningful to have this experience with my wife and with our longtime friends. We each came to new understandings about ourselves and our relationships with each other. The information and discussion about instincts was very rich for us. It certainly gave us a new perspective on how we view the world and how we interact with others in it. The narrative panels are always so helpful, and this certainly was true at this conference. It was fascinating to see the similarities that people with different types had with those others who shared their predominant instincts. I would love to have more conferences like this one. I will be thinking about this, and will offer some specific ideas as I process this past weekend. Thank you again; you are so appreciated. - Tami H (9)
Dale and Deb, Thank you again for a wonderfully insightful retreat yesterday! - Andrea S (5)
Very very informative and I met new "numbers.” It deepened my regard for those preferences that I was less familiar with. I also beneftted greatly from a couple of individual sessions. The type knowledge was a plus. - Participant
