Meet Your Facilitator Jeannine Myrvik, LCSW

Jeannine Myrvik is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Enneagram Professional with more than 20 years of experience supporting individuals and couples in personal growth, self-awareness, and relational well-being.

Certified through the Chestnut Paes Enneagram Academy, Jeannine brings the Enneagram to life as a meaningful tool for understanding the patterns that shape how we see ourselves, relate to others, and move through the world. Through Enneagram education, typing, and coaching, she helps people move beyond simply identifying their “number” to explore the deeper motivations, strengths, and patterns within each type.

Throughout the weekend, Jeannine will guide participants through thoughtful teaching, reflection, and conversation—creating space for greater compassion, curiosity, and a deeper understanding of both ourselves and those around us.

Step away from the noise of daily life and into a soulful winter retreat designed to help you reconnect with your truest self. Over the course of two nights and three days, Enneagram expert Jeannine Myrvik will gently guide you through the wisdom of the nine types, helping you uncover patterns, awaken awareness, and grow in compassion—toward yourself and others.

Retreat Highlights

Friday Evening – Opening Circle
Ease into the weekend with a warm, welcoming session designed to ground you in presence, set shared intentions, and create a container for meaningful exploration and connection.

Saturday – Immersive Enneagram Sessions
Dive deep into three powerful, two-hour sessions led by Jeannine Myrvik. Through guided teaching, reflection, and dialogue, we’ll explore how the Enneagram reveals patterns, fosters compassion, and opens the door to deeper self-awareness and growth—in ourselves and in our relationships.

Sunday – Integration & Closing Ceremony
We’ll gather one final time to reflect on what’s been uncovered, share insights, and leave with a clearer sense of direction as you return to daily life more rooted, open, and aligned.

What to Bring

A curious heart, a willingness to explore, and a basic understanding of your Enneagram type.

(If you're unsure, Jeannine offers virtual typing sessions before the retreat—feel free to reach out to schedule.)

This retreat is designed to balance meaningful Enneagram work with connection, reflection, nourishing meals, and time to simply slow down.

Friday evening begins gently with dinner followed by an Opening Circle with Jeannine. Saturday is the heart of the retreat, with three immersive Enneagram sessions incorporating guided teaching, personal reflection, and group dialogue. On Sunday morning, you’ll come together one final time for integration and a closing ceremony before heading home.

Throughout the weekend, there will also be opportunities to enjoy the quiet spaces of Journey Inn, connect with other participants, and give yourself a little room to breathe.

  • You do not need to be an Enneagram expert to attend! Whether you are relatively new to the Enneagram or have been exploring it for years, the weekend is designed to offer opportunities for deeper self-awareness, reflection, and growth.

  • Absolutely. You do not need to attend with a friend or partner. Retreats at Journey Inn are a wonderful opportunity to arrive on your own, connect naturally with others through shared meals and experiences, and still have space for individual reflection and quiet time.

  • Yes. While Saturday includes three immersive Enneagram sessions, the weekend is intentionally designed to include space between the learning and reflection.

    You’ll have time to enjoy the Inn, relax by the fire, read or journal, take a winter walk on the property, enjoy the sauna, or simply retreat to your room for some quiet time.

  • January in the Driftless Region invites cozy layers! We recommend bringing comfortable clothing for retreat sessions, warm outdoor layers and winter footwear if you’d like to explore the property, and a swimsuit if you plan to enjoy the sauna or Forest Spa.

    You may also want to bring a favorite journal or notebook for personal reflections throughout the weekend. Journey Inn provides robes in each guest room, along with linens, towels, natural bath amenities, and all the comforts you’ll need for a cozy winter stay.

  • Yes. Double occupancy is available for guests attending together. All four Journey Inn guest rooms feature one king bed and a private bathroom, so guests choosing double occupancy should be comfortable sharing a king bed.

    If you are attending on your own, you may reserve a room for single occupancy.

  • Yes! Retreat guests are welcome to enjoy our outdoor barrel sauna throughout their stay at no additional charge.

    Additional Forest Spa experiences, including massage, our Japanese Soaking Tub Ritual, magnesium foot soaks, and other private spa rituals, may be available for an additional fee. Because the retreat schedule is fairly full and our massage therapists travel to Journey Inn by appointment, we strongly recommend arranging any additional spa services in advance.

  • A $100 non-refundable deposit is required at the time your reservation is made and secures your space for the retreat.

    Because this is a limited-capacity retreat and the Inn is reserved specifically for retreat participants, cancellations are subject to the retreat cancellation policy provided at the time of booking. We encourage you to review those terms carefully before reserving your space.

  • Journey Inn is nestled on 33 peaceful acres in Wisconsin’s Driftless Region near Maiden Rock and Lake Pepin, approximately one hour from the Twin Cities.
