About the Listen to your life: Enneagram Retreat Weekend (2022) course

Listen to Your Life: An introduction to the Enneagram for Personal & Spiritual Growth

The Enneagram is a startlingly accurate and insightful tool for understanding ourselves and other people. It suggests that there are nine basic personality styles or preferred life strategies that we unconsciously adopt. Once we identify our style or ‘type’ a huge amount of personal insight becomes available that can help us to grow and flourish as individuals and in our relationships.

This retreat workshop will:
• Introduce the Enneagram as a system and how it works.
• Describe the nine distinct personality styles, including strengths, weaknesses, blind spots and defence strategies.
• Help participants identify their own preferred style and begin to understand what this means.
• Introduce practices for managing stress and conflict in each type and for cultivating a more resourceful approach to life by revealing our neglected strengths or life strategies.
• Explore how the Enneagram can help in spiritual development, especially by identifying the spiritual energies in each type and how these can find expression through gifts and life focus.

Far from putting us in a box, the Enneagram offers a route to freedom – freedom to discover our truest selves by enabling us to listen more mindfully to our life.

About the tutor
Dave Tomlinson is an Anglican priest, writer and broadcaster. He is also a qualified teacher of the Enneagram in the Narrative Tradition with 20 years of experience putting it into practice in pastoral counselling with individuals and couples, in spiritual direction, and with coaching people in personal development.

What our students say

Clergy Study Breaks

The opportunity for clergy to get away occasionally from their own context, to have an overnight stay in the beautiful setting of Sarum College and all that the Salisbury Cathedral Close offers is hugely valuable. All the clergy I have suggested who have spent 24hrs at Sarum College have benefit greatly from the experienced mentoring where they can talk, reflect, think, plan and pray.

The support and encouragement they receive is excellent and has a positive on their on going ministry. This is something the Diocese of Rochester encourages and supports financially in preparation for their clergy preparing for Extended Ministerial Development Leave (Sabbatical).

— Canon Christopher Dench, Diocese of Rochester Director of Formation and Ministry

Retreats and Private Stays

When I arrived, exhausted and sensitive, I was grateful not to be asked by Reception were I came from, whether I had had a good journey etc. That was the kind of hospitality I needed: a non-intrusive welcome that was found in ancient cultures and still survives in some societies today, where the host asks questions about a stranger and his journey only when the visitor has rested and been given food and drink.

— guest on a private stay

Biblical Study Breaks

I just found it very refreshing – as a leader of a church I don’t get as many opportunities to step out and do courses (my fault, not the church!) and so I loved it. I think it was run really well online – which is a difficult medium to work with.

Pádraig Ó Tuama (pictured) was outstanding in his balance of getting us to engage and sharing his learning. Also the quick availability of resources provided by Sarum College Librarian Jayne Downey was excellent.
