Howdy! 👋 Great question! In my Enneagram community, we're quite active with a diverse range of events. Here are a few examples: 1. **Virtual Meetups 📱💻**: These happen monthly. We often have themed discussions, guest speakers, and breakout rooms for more intimate chats. It's a great way to connect with people from all over the world! 2. **Local In-Person Groups 🌍**: These usually meet every other week in a cozy café or community center. We focus on specific aspects of the Enneagram, like diving into particular types or discussing how certain traits manifest in our daily lives. 3. **Workshops 📝📚**: These are more intensive and happen quarterly. We bring in certified Enneagram teachers to provide deeper insights, and these sessions often include interactive exercises and Q&A segments. 4. **Themed Retreats 🌿🏞️**: Once or twice a year, we organize retreats. These are truly special as they combine learning with relaxation and a bit of adventure. It's a fantastic way to bond with fellow enthusiasts in a more immersive setting. **Most Memorable Event?**✨ One of the most impactful events I attended was a weekend retreat centered on self-growth and relationships through the lens of the Enneagram. The blend of workshops, meditation sessions, and group activities was truly transformative. **Frequency & Tips**🗓️📝 Our events are quite frequent—monthly meetups, bi-weekly local meetings, and quarterly workshops. For organizing successful events: - Ensure a balance of informational content and interactive activities. - Choose engaging and knowledgeable speakers. - Always include some social time—whether through meals, casual hangouts, or fun activities. **Balancing Learning & Socializing**⚖️💬 We typically start with more structured learning sessions and conclude with informal socializing.
