RETREAT LEADERSHIP:
Cheryl Kinney Matheson is a graduate of Prairie Jubilee (Cycle 2), a member of Spiritual Directors International, and an Ordained Minister within the United Church of Canada, now retired. She has been a Prairie Jubilee Instructor since Cycle 6 and learns from each Cycle and from each participant. Cheryl has served congregations in Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario for 28 years and attests to the way that Prairie Jubilee has transformed her pastoral ministry, enabling her to speak about the inner life and offer the teachings of the enneagram and spiritual practices within her congregation and community.
Jennifer Desrosiers was introduced to the enneagram in 2013 by her Spiritual Director. In 2020, She graduated from Prairie Jubilee which inspired her to want to explore more about the enneagram as it intrigued in her a deeper understanding of herself and others. In the summer of 2023, she completed Enntrain: Inspirited and Embodied Enneagram Training Program and it reinforced in her that she wanted to become a teacher which led her to join the leadership with Prairie Jubilee in 2024.
Dale Bially has worked extensively with the enneagram in his since 1993. Under the guidance of his mentors Carol Ann Gotch and David Walsh (students of Bob Ochs), he completed the Enntrain: Inspirited and Embodied Enneagram training program in 2012 and began teaching workshops and study groups with Inscapes Centre for Enneagram Studies. In 2012 he began working with the leadership team of Prairie Jubilee, to help train spiritual directors and guide other seekers find the truth of whom they are and how to live differently in our world.
