Presence and the Nine Spiritual Antidotes

June 1-4, 2008
Assisi, Italy

European Spiritual Enneagram Retreat with Helen Palmer

This four-day retreat follows Richard Rohr's May 30 program on the Enneagram and Paradox.

Presence is awareness without thought, concepts, emotion, imagination or the passage of time. An awareness that is permanent rather than transitory, that deepens with spiritual practice and – like all forms of intelligence - continues to mature with further practice. Present time awareness is obscured by the activities of type. But when those patterns recede, a lucid non-thinking Presence remains.

This retreat is focused on the practice of Presence and the Spiritual Antidotes for Desire, Aversion and Self-Forgetting. Please come with a willingness to sit quietly for 20 minute periods at intervals during the retreat. This event is open to all Enneagram schools, and to those who seek development. It will be translated into German and French.
