"The Enneagram doesn't put you in a box, it shows you the box you're already in, and how to get out of it."
— Ian Morgan Cron

Discover Yourself. Deepen Your Relationships. Create a Life That Feels More Like You.
What if the life you've always wanted isn't waiting for you somewhere "out there," but underneath the habits, fears, and stories you've spent a lifetime building?  The Enneagram is one of the world's most powerful tools for understanding why we think, feel, and behave the way we do.  Rather than placing people into boxes, it helps us recognize the unconscious patterns that shape our lives and offers a path toward greater freedom, healthier relationships, authentic leadership, and a more meaningful way of living.
This isn't simply an Enneagram workshop.  It's an immersive, week-long Enneagram retreat that blends personal growth, adventure, reflection, and genuine connection.  Together we'll slow down, ask better questions, laugh often, spend time in nature, enjoy exceptional food and wine, and discover how greater self-awareness can transform the way we lead, love, work, and live.  Each morning, we'll explore the wisdom of the Enneagram through engaging teaching, storytelling, journaling, experiential exercises, and meaningful conversation.  Drawing from the work of Brené Brown, Parker Palmer's Center for Courage & Renewal, Richard Rohr, Russ Hudson, Suzanne Stabile, and other respected teachers, we'll examine the motivations, fears, strengths, and blind spots that shape each of the nine Enneagram types, while learning practical ways to move beyond our automatic patterns.
Then we'll close our notebooks.
Because some of the most meaningful learning doesn't happen during a presentation. It happens on a hiking trail. Over lunch at a winery. Around a fire pit. During an unexpected conversation with someone who truly sees you.  Our afternoons are intentionally designed to bring the morning's learning to life. We'll experience the best of Temecula Wine Country through scenic hikes, award-winning wineries, charming Old Town Temecula, exceptional meals, and unhurried conversations. These shared experiences create the space where insight becomes transformation and strangers often become lifelong friends.  Evenings are intentionally unstructured. Relax by the pool, soak in the hot tub, enjoy a glass of wine, or simply linger in conversation with remarkable people. Time and again, participants tell us these moments become some of the most meaningful memories of the week.
Whether you're brand new to the Enneagram or have spent years studying your type, this retreat will meet you where you are. You'll return home with greater self-awareness, stronger relationships, practical tools for everyday life, renewed purpose, and a clearer understanding of the person you've always been underneath the personality you've developed.
Many participants join us to earn 30+ CME/CEU credits while investing in their own wellbeing. Others simply know it's time to slow down and reconnect with themselves. Whether you're a physician, nurse, healthcare professional, leader, educator, business owner, or simply someone seeking greater authenticity, you'll find an unforgettable week of learning, adventure, community, and personal transformation in the heart of Temecula Wine Country.

DAILY ITINERARY




April 3:  Arrive in San Diego
Welcome to Southern California! Arrive in San Diego at your leisure and settle into our conveniently located airport hotel. Spend the afternoon exploring the waterfront, visiting Balboa Park, relaxing by the pool, or simply unwinding after your travels.  This evening is yours to enjoy before we begin our week together. Tomorrow morning, our journey into the Enneagram, and into ourselves, begins.  Tonight we stay near the San Diego Airport.





April 4:  Discovering Your Number | San Diego → Temecula
Following breakfast, we'll gather for our first morning of educational sessions as we begin exploring the Enneagram and discovering the core motivations, fears, and patterns that shape each of the nine personality types. Through engaging teaching, reflection, storytelling, and discussion, you'll begin identifying your own type and understanding the unique lens through which you experience the world.  Following lunch, we'll travel together by comfortable passenger van to our home for the week—the beautiful Embassy Suites in Temecula Wine Country.  After settling in, we'll have a few more educational sessions and then enjoy our first evening together over dinner, creating space to get to know one another and begin building the supportive community that will accompany us throughout the week. Tonight we stay at the Embassy Suites Temecula. Breakfast included.






April 5 – Understanding Your Story
Today's educational sessions move beyond discovering your Enneagram type to exploring the deeper motivations that drive it. Together we'll examine the childhood messages, core longings, and unconscious patterns that shape how we think, relate, and respond to the world. As our awareness grows, so does our freedom to choose new responses instead of repeating old patterns.  This afternoon we'll begin with a leisurely lunch and optional wine tasting at Ponte Winery, one of Temecula Wine Country's most beloved vineyards. Afterwards, we'll explore one of Southern California's hidden gems—the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Preserve. Surrounded by majestic oak trees, rolling meadows, historic adobe buildings, and peaceful trails, we'll enjoy an easy-to-moderate hike designed for both reflection and conversation while experiencing one of Temecula's most beautiful natural landscapes. We'll then return to the hotel to relax and recharge before dinner.   Tonight we stay at the Embassy Suites Temecula. Breakfast included.






April 6 – Relationships, Communication & Connection
The Enneagram becomes especially powerful when we begin understanding not only ourselves, but also the people we love, live with, and work beside. This morning we'll explore how each Enneagram type communicates, experiences conflict, gives and receives love, and shows up in relationships. You'll leave with practical tools for healthier conversations, deeper empathy, and stronger connections—both personally and professionally.  Following our morning sessions, we'll enjoy lunch and optional wine tasting at Monserate Winery, one of Temecula's newest and most picturesque vineyards. We'll then head to the nearby Santa Margarita River Trail Preserve, where towering sycamore trees, gentle river crossings, and shaded trails create a peaceful setting for an easy hike and meaningful conversation. Often described as feeling more like the Midwest than Southern California, this hidden gem invites us to slow down, connect with nature, and continue reflecting on the day's themes.  We'll return to the hotel in time to relax before gathering for another memorable dinner and an evening of conversation around the patio or hot tub.  Tonight we stay at the Embassy Suites Temecula. Breakfast included.






April 7 – Growth, Stress & Becoming Your Best Self
Today's educational sessions explore what happens when life becomes stressful and how each Enneagram type has a unique pathway toward growth. Rather than remaining trapped in automatic reactions, you'll discover practical tools to become more grounded, resilient, compassionate, and authentic.  This afternoon invites you to slow down.  We'll begin with a peaceful stroll through Rose Haven Heritage Garden, one of Temecula's hidden gems, where thousands of blooming roses provide the perfect setting for reflection.  From there, you'll have free time to experience Temecula at your own pace.  Explore Historic Old Town Temecula, browse local boutiques, enjoy an optional wine tasting, schedule a spa treatment, relax by the hotel pool, or simply journal and reflect on everything you've experienced throughout the week.  We'll gather again in the evening for dinner and another opportunity to enjoy the meaningful conversations and friendships that have become the heart of our retreat.  Tonight we stay at the Embassy Suites Temecula. Breakfast and Dinner included.






April 8 – Living Beyond Your Number
Our final full day focuses on integration. How do we take everything we've learned home? What practices will help us continue growing long after the retreat ends? Through reflection, experiential exercises, and group dialogue, you'll develop a personal roadmap for living with greater authenticity, courage, joy, and intention.  This afternoon we'll slow the pace and spend time at South Coast Winery Resort & Spa. Following lunch and an optional wine tasting, we'll take a leisurely walk through the vineyards, allowing space to reflect on the week's experiences while enjoying the beauty of Temecula Wine Country. We'll then gather for our closing dinner at The Vineyard Rose Restaurant, celebrating the friendships formed, the insights gained, and the journey that still lies ahead.  As the sun sets over Wine Country, we'll raise one final glass—not simply to the week we've shared, but to the life each of us is creating beyond it.  Tonight we stay at the Embassy Suites Temecula. Breakfast included.






April 9 – Taking It Home
Our final morning together is devoted to bringing the week's experiences into everyday life. We'll reflect on what we've learned, celebrate the journey we've shared, and identify the practices and commitments that will help sustain this work long after we return home.  Following our closing session, we'll travel together by passenger van back to San Diego International Airport, arriving by approximately 12:00 PM. We recommend scheduling return flights after 2:00 PM. Breakfast included.

Amazing Retreat on the Camino de Santiago
I cannot speak more highly of Bounce Travels and my experience on the Camino! The sessions were so helpful in diving into some important topics like gratitude, mindset, forgiveness and shame to name just a few. The wonderful long hikes in the afternoon were so peaceful and beautiful and gave us the time to incorporate the teachings and to connect with the other participants. We were very well supported and cared for and just had to show up and be ready! What a gift not to have to plan anything for a whole week. That just does not happen in my day to day life. Absolutely loved every minute! Thank you Bounce Travels!

Oh I can't wait to go on another retreat!
I absolutely love everything about these retreats! I have been on several now and I just look forward to it so much. The community that is built immediately allows for such vulnerability and openness. People are able to really go deep and get to the heart of issues they are working on. I am so impressed with the presentation style and topics that the facilitators bring. They are open and honest as they educate on big topics like shame, gratitude, forgiveness, connection, boundaries, beliefs and authenticity. Their framework and dedication to sharing a bit from their own growth and lessons really makes it easy for everyone to peel back the layers and find the truth about what they are working through. It is also wonderful that we get to have these life changing moments in beautiful places with such open fantastic people. Those that choose to go on these retreats are so supportive, kind and helpful. Lifelong friends are made and I cherish these relationships. The hiking and outdoor activities really helps integrate the lessons and that quiet contemplative time is so valuable. I could not recommend this more!

Retreat in Sedona
The retreat was a wonderful experience. It was a great retreat where you can be as involved as you would like to be. It exceeded my expectations. The area was magnificent and there was just enough time for thought work and hiking. There also was enough time to do things on your own. The food was great at the restaurants. The growth was tremendous and the planning was good. I would highly recommend this retreat for anyone but especially for health care physicians and workers. Very grateful to have found Bounce Travels and so excited that they are doing this kind of work.
