JOIN the ALCHEMICAL enneagram

September 3-7, 2026 (Thursday-Monday) |9 AM TO 6 PM EACH DAY | SAN FRANCISCO

Prerequisite: students must have attended 1 retreat to register for this Retreat

At this very special advanced inner work retreat, Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes apply specific elements of the Enneagram, including defense mechanisms, subtypes and instincts, Passions and Virtues, and Fixations and Holy Ideas, to help people take further steps forward on their growth path. Students who have done the inner work associated with Retreats A and B will be further challenged to become more aware of—and work against—the habitual nature of their personality, so they can attain greater freedom and realize more of their higher potential.

Specifically, we will support participants in:

Assessing and addressing main pieces of psychological work still to be done, including anything connected to type and subtype patterns, emotional and mental patterns, passions and fixations, and shadows
Understanding and working with defense mechanisms
Further evoking the Virtues and Holy Ideas to loosen unconscious attachments to the passions and fixations.
Higher-level work with the arrow movements mapped by the inner dynamism of the Enneagram
Reaching higher states and tapping into spiritual gifts and higher potential

This is a call to face your deepest truths.

“For many years, I have been looking for a process, a program, and a teacher that could open up more deeply the transformational power of the Enneagram for me. I wanted to go beyond the Enneagram of Personalities to an exploration of the deep potential for liberation that I knew was present in this incredibly sophisticated psychospiritual map. I feel very blessed and fortunate to have found this program, this process, and these teachers in Bea Chestnut and Uranio Paes. I am extremely grateful.”

Here’s what our students are saying about our retreats.

Couldn't be more grateful."

—Isabel

"Uranio and Beatrice have walked the Enneagram path for many years and as a result, they are amazing guides for those of us who endeavor to walk that same path. The materials provided in this course are amazing and the way that Uranio and Beatrice connect this work with other concepts helped me to feel like this is an integral part of my work going forward."
