Knowing yourself and understanding others. Unlike other personality models, the Enneagram focuses on internal motivations rather than external behaviours. It helps you not only understand yourself better, but it gives you the tools to help understand your colleagues, employees and clients . This workshop is an introduction to the Enneagram system of understanding personality and behaviour. All participants gain a clear understanding of human personality and their own personality profile based on the Enneagram, as well as the value of self-understanding, the understanding of others and diversity in the workplace. Get to know yourself and each other intimately so you can be free from patterns that don't serve you, bring out the best in each other and embody your unique, collective capabilities. Beginners and veterans and everyone in between are welcome! 

“The enneagram has changed my life, and the lives of many" The enneagram is an extraordinary map on personality, and the human condition, identifying very accurately our blind spots. It lets us recognise that we are so much more than our behaviours, thoughts and emotions. In fact I would say that the enneagram exposes to us who we are NOT.” - Facilitator Georgia Bailey

This retreat has 5 exercises in seeking inner peace in Divine love. Ignatian Spiritual Exercises employ many forms of prayer to engage you in different ways of knowing and feeling the Spirit within. All are welcome. There are no special requirements to attend.. come as you are.

The Labyrinth is an ancient tool, a walking meditation, and an opportunity to be held and reconnect to yourself. Come and be held in the healing container of the labyrinth over a weekend of rest, renewal and release at Shalom, Carcoar. Together we will explore many nourishing aspects of this ancient path of guidance and strength.  Over millennia it has lit a spark in troubled times. Discover this tool for helping you find your own way through.

We are living in extraordinary times. Truly extra-ordinary! So how do we live well in a time which continues to change, challenges us, and asks more of us while giving us less time to react, recharge, or connect? Shalom is holding its latest Men’s Weekend Retreat. It is a time where men can get away together, share life experiences, and take time to reflect on the values and actions we can take to live better. Using some simple, yet powerful, meditation exercises, participants use the retreat to ‘slow down’ their thinking and explore (individually and together) what we can to do make a positive change that impacts ourselves and others. Meals, drinks and stories are shared. Connections are made. It is not about being particularly holy, religious, or prayerful. It is about coming together to explore a connection to something greater than ourselves – something that never tires of refreshing us to deal with such ‘extra-ordinary’ times.

The women’s retreat is an opportunity to escape from your busy lives, pause and take some time for yourself.
