THE WONDER OF YOU RETREAT

Reconnect with Your Authentic Self

3 Nights and 4 Days in the High Desert
Bend, Oregon
Friday (PM) October 25 to Monday (AM) October 28, 2019
THE EXPERIENCE.
 
Over the course of a weekend, Michele will share with you an introduction to the Enneagram of Personality,  a dynamic system of self-expression and core awareness.  Through intention and attention, you will also discover the simple magic of your own individual Essences and how to declare them.  You'll learn to foster a deeper sense of personal meaning and appreciation for the intricate ways in which we interact with one another. Be prepared for a transformational and healing experience! ​​

After attending this soul-enriching retreat, you will walk away with a better understanding of what it means to shine your own light in the world and live a life that is the best version of your true self.  
WHY BEND.
​
Bend is a magical place where the Cascade mountains, the Deschutes River, pine trees, and the high desert converge.  And it's especially beautiful in the autumn! 
  
As a Central Oregon enthusiast and former resident, Bend is a special area to me and evokes fond memories.  I look forward to welcoming you to my home town!  
 
When we are not in class, we have time to explore the attractions of the Central Oregon area, connect, play, and rest. ​
OUR HOME. 
 
The Executive Lodge is a comfortable, quiet, and modern private home on top of Awbrey Butte in the West Hills of Bend.  Located less than 2 miles from the hip Downtown area and 4 miles from the Old Mill District, we can come and go with ease.  There is plenty of parking but as always, please carpool if you are able!  
 
There are three levels to this home with bedrooms and bathrooms on each level.  With an open floor plan and amazing views from the great room, the ambiance of the home is very inviting and perfect for our gathering.  There are beautiful outdoor spaces including three decks for relaxing or al fresco dining -- and an 8-person hot tub!  
 
Megan, our amazing cook and co-farmer at Boundless Farmstead, will prepare daily fresh farm-to-table vegetarian meals for us, including breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and two hearty dinners.  ​

What People Are Saying About Working with Michele:

"I highly recommend Michele Duncan King as a professional.  She is organized, compassionate, and great at what she does. She is a people person and yet a strong business leader.  She always has innovative ideas flowing from her.  Her ideas and strength make her a great choice for bringing more clarity and joy into your business and life." ~Sheri, North Carolina
 
“Michele has always impressed me as being extremely organized, prepared, and anticipatory.  She has an entrepreneurial spirit that is continually searching for ways to improve her own practice and make her businesses more accessible and vibrant.  She is not content with the 'status quo' or the idea that 'we have always done it this way'. She seeks to grow beyond her sound foundation of success -- evolving, exploring, and challenging herself to continually offer a new facet to her already exceptional services. And while having a talent for grasping the core of the details of a successful business, Michele is also a caring, tender nurturer.  Further, Michele is generous.  Generous with her time, her talents, her enthusiasm and her energy.  Michele's clients always come first, and then her boundless talents are available to others, to grow and succeed as she has. I feel fortunate indeed to have come to know this exceptional person, Michele Duncan King! ~Polly, Washington State
 
"I would say that your style offers presence and creates an atmosphere of trust and holding which, personally, allowed me to relax completely and surrender to the process as well as feeling safe and in control at some level, like I knew you would hear me and my needs were important." ~Danielle, California
