Introduction

Welcome to the journey of discovering your true identity and the spiritual path to becoming the free, unique, and beloved person God created you to be.

In this book, you will learn what the Enneagram is and how it helps us become aware of both our go-to masks and our true essence. This workbook will teach you how to discover your type and show you what your type reveals about your behavior, characteristics, vulnerabilities, and unique giftings. But more than that, you’ll explore how the fractals, or patterns, within the Enneagram lead us all into a deeper understanding of who we are, how we can grow, and the unique way each one of us is made to experience the presence of the Divine.

As a companion to The Sacred Enneagram by Chris Heuertz, each session of this workbook pairs with a corresponding chapter or chapters. This study was designed to be used either individually or in a group. In each session, you’ll find:

•A summary of key concepts from the corresponding chapter of The Sacred Enneagram

•Graphs and charts showing the dynamic movements within the Enneagram

•Insightful and inspiring quotes

•Questions to lead you into self-discovery and transformational growth

•Reflection or discussion questions for group use

•A contemplative invitation which will walk you through a mindful practice designed for personal and spiritual wholeness and connection with God

Drawing from decades of in-depth study, mentorships with Mother Teresa and Father Richard Rohr, and years of teaching the Enneagram through contemplative practice, Chris Heuertz offers a profound, life-changing journey into the treasure of your own soul. For anyone ready to move past mere behavior traits and to real, lasting transformation, this book will compassionately guide you through the inner work of finding your way back to your true self and the anchoring presence of a loving God.

FOR PERSONAL USE

As you set out on this path of self-discovery through this workbook, you may like to read the corresponding chapter(s) of The Sacred Enneagram first before reflecting on the questions in each session. Alternatively, page numbers are listed throughout so that you can also read The Sacred Enneagram side-by-side with this workbook.

You’ll find transformational growth through the Invitations—step-by-step guides to contemplative practices at the end of each session. To ensure that you have an uninterrupted and meaningful prayer experience, it may be helpful to read through the steps first before starting the exercise.
