The Enneagram of The Soul Facilitator Training

The Enneagram of the Soul

Book Journey Facilitator Training

Learn how to guide compassionate Enneagram book journeys using the contemplative approach from The Enneagram of the Soul.

“The Enneagram of the Soul invites us on a journey of profound self-discovery. This beautiful book helps us remember that the real and original Enneagram work helps us shed concepts of ourselves and others that no longer serve us so that we may prepare ourselves for the mysterious and fantastic changes ahead—that we all know are upon us.”

—Russ Hudson
coauthor of The Wisdom of the Enneagram

About this Training

This facilitator training offers the opportunity to become a Certified Book Journey Facilitator for The Enneagram of the Soul: A 40-Day Spiritual Companion for the 9 Types.

This contemplative, Enneagram-informed training explores the intersection of self-discovery, wholeness, and interconnectedness while equipping you to lead groups with skill, compassion, and depth.

Originally offered live, the training is now available in a hybrid self-paced format.

Participants may engage the training in several ways, depending on their interests and calling.

Three Ways to Participate

You are welcome to engage this training in the way that best supports your journey.

Book Journey Facilitation

Use the training to support your own facilitation of a book journey using The Enneagram of the Soul. The book itself serves as the primary guide for participants, allowing facilitators to focus on creating a compassionate and contemplative group space.
