What is Prairie Jubilee?
Prairie Jubilee is a two-year experience in self-development and self-realization focused on the ancient symbol of the enneagram.
At Prairie Jubilee, we seek to explore the interrelationship of body, soul and spirit using the wisdom of the enneagram. This ancient symbol helps us deepen our understanding of the nature of personality, its place of service to our deeper self and to the world. We welcome all seekers to discover the deeper meaning of our lives and learn how to process the thoughts, emotions and reactions of life’s experiences. Only through this processing can we see who we truly are.
YEAR ONE - centres on self-knowledge and spiritual formation, exploring the topics of contemplation, discernment, and transformation, to name a few. The teachings and practices of this year take place over 16 months.
YEAR TWO - focuses on the art of spiritual direction and developing skills in deep listening. This year of practicum includes one-to-one supervision, peer supervision and extensive skills developement.
“I found myself …..not realizing that I’d been missing, yet I was found. Grace, in the form of acceptance, validation, compassion and spirit, listened to my inner voice, held my hand….. and brought me home. I will be forever and profoundly grateful for the gift I was given in my Prairie Jubilee experience….. an awakening to my authentic self and the truth of spirituality; for it is not the wind, nor the fire, nor the stormy sky…. Spirituality is in the stillness and in the quiet….whispering, “I am here.”
—Lynda Moncrief - Cycle 9
