Being Bravely Yourself: Navigating a Personal Contemplative Enneagram Journey

CCE Contemplative Enrichment Day
Saturday, March 21, 2026
8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (ET)
Rev. Dr. Jill Schneider

This day will be filled with Contemplative Breathing and Awareness practices that remind us of Jesus’ commandment to love ourselves, as we love others. Using spiritual wisdom grounded in the Enneagram, this experiential time will open our hearts, minds, and bodies to our original blessing: being made in the image of G-d. Together, we will discover that Divine Love is deepened in ourselves and our communities when we live our unique, authentic lives, beloved of G-d and part of the tapestry of life.

This program will be offered both in-person and online via Zoom. Information on how to access the program on Zoom will be sent to participants in advance.

This program will include a morning and an afternoon session of Centering Prayer.

Offering: $75, includes lunch

Scholarships are available, please contact Mike Smoolca at cce@holyfamilyretreat.org for more information.
