The Vision Driving This Summer School Retreat
In the early days of the Enneagram, we were fortunate to be part of an active European community of certified teachers in the Narrative Tradition, learning from Helen Palmer, Dr. David Daniels, and Peter O’Hanrahan, immersed in advanced courses and spiritual retreats.
Together, we explored, innovated, and applied this profound knowledge—growing both as individuals and as professionals working with the Enneagram.
As much of today’s training moves online, we are committed to preserving this depth of learning and personal connection.
To keep the wisdom intact and powerful, we continue our work within the Enneagram Europe Summer School on-site, in-person and in-depth.
At Enneagram Europe Summer School, learning goes beyond coursework—it’s about connecting in person with like-minded individuals. Live gatherings foster real conversations, new friendships, and a vibrant community that deepens each participant’s journey.
These connections create a lasting network of support, inspiration, and shared commitment to the transformative power of the Enneagram.
Why You Really Want to Join
It takes place in a serene retreat center nestled in a former Dutch monastery.
A moment to return to yourself, your path, and your practice.
Connect with fellow Enneagram professionals and enthusiasts.
Exclusive Learning Experience led by Powerful Enneagram teachers.
