Join us in-person for our Summer's End Focusing Splash!

When: September 10-13, 2026 

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday - drop in for an event, a day or come for a long weekend.

Where: Floyd County Virginia

It's a gift to spend time in person with others who are also committed to exploring all this about being a human being in these unique times. 

We are thrilled to share this opportunity with you. 

Our inspiration is to create a compassionate touchstone community for those trained in utilizing Enneagram and /or Focusing to connect and explore emerging edges in how we live our daily lives.

We value the wisdom of each person who attends.

You are invited to offer a presentation, a workshop or hold space for a discussion topic that feels like an edge for you. Our schedule will be created a week before we meet utilizing Open Space principles listed below. If there are open spaces in our schedule when we arrive, these may fill in Friday evening. 

This retreat is an adaptation of a Focusers retreat held at this location in 2018-19.

We hope it works out for you to join us!

Open Space Principles 

Open Space: For those unfamiliar with OPEN SPACE – it’s exactly what the words imply. We will have open space and time both before the retreat and our first evening together for the group to gather to build our Ripples of Resonance community and to learn about and sense into program offerings.

Open Space starts with the understanding that everything is completely voluntary; people lead topics or attend/participate because they want to. Our planning session might open with requests or interests. You may come with a few ideas you'd be open to offering or plan not to lead a program. Our agenda is created by those passionate about leading an Enneagram or Focusing-related topic and taking responsibility for facilitating discussion and/or sharing an application. The co-creative magic comes in listening to each other. Two people who have never met may even decide to co-lead something.

At the time of the session, people attend what they feel drawn to and stay if it fits. We our encouraged to follow our process in the moment. Focusing, or some other personal recreational activity, is always a welcome option to attending a session.
