Whether you are looking to discover your type for the first time or take a deeper dive into your identity, The Sacred Enneagram Workbook is designed to help you grow in your spiritual life through the understanding of your Enneagram type. Most of us spend a lifetime trying to figure out who we are and how we relate to others and God. This task is far from easy, yet the Enneagram offers a bright path to cutting through the internal clutter and finding our way back to who we are created to be. And The Sacred Enneagram Workbook creates the reflective space necessary to map your way home.

This workbook was helpful to my metaphysical group in our study of the enneagram. The journaling questions guided our reading and discussion of Christopher Heuertz's The Sacred Enneagram: Finding Your Unique Path to Spiritual Growth. Many of the charts in the workbook were clearer than the ones in the book. Most of us appreciated the section on finding the best contemplative practice for our dominant type. Mine is spot on. I understand my challenges with certain types of meditation much better now and why the type I like best is not enough of a challenge.
I would not recommend this as a starter book for studying the enneagram. Nor do I recommend reading only one book or thinking this will be a quick study. It can take a few years to figure out one's dominant type. I do recommend learning with a few others who are willing to be vulnerable with you. The enneagram is life-changing, if we're willing to do the work it would most benefit us to do.
The Sacred Enneagram is one of my favorite books on the enneagram. It’s deep and thoughtful. The workbook to go along with it is also. I would have loved to work through this book with others. In many workbooks, I don’t resonate with the questions that are asked, but for the majority of this workbook, the questions were thought-provoking and just what needed to be asked. There was just enough extra information in the workbook that you didn’t have to use the main book all the time, but I highly recommend keeping it close at hand. Now I’m ready to start The Enneagram of Belonging and its workbook.
The workbook and book are not organized well, so you have to choose which order you want to follow. The workbook asks some very deep and thought-provoking questions, which I appreciate, but other questions are written to be repetitive copies of previous questions. My friend and I also found that some questions were written in such a heady way that we had to read through them several times and talk about them before being able to figure out what the question even meant.
I found the concept of the enneagram intriguing. But this author's style was not one that resonated well with me and I grew bored with his instruction. Someday I will undertake another book on the subject
I highly recommend. Even if you don’t prescribe to Christian faith, this book give excellent insight on the Enneagram and how to heal and integrate to our true selves. I had events from my past come up from this book, so be prepared to do the work and confront trauma, but it is totally worth it.
I have read and facilitated 5 groups using The Sacred Enneagram and The Sacred Enneagram Workbook. I highly recommend it to those who want to go deeper and know more of the many facets of enneagram wisdom.
Excellent summary of the Enneagram. Strongly recommend!! Also addresses the Christian aspects and practices of using the Enneagran. I hope you read it.
I’m so glad I used this workbook while reading The Sacred Enneagram. It helped me excavate more insights and understanding from the material in the book.
a few nuggets but I wanted deeper examples of what I should do as a six and how to walk that out. it’s a short easy read. glad I read it for free on Libby.
