This facilitator training offers you the opportunity to become a Certified Book Journey Facilitator for The Enneagram of the Soul: A 40-Day Spiritual Companion for the 9 Types, guided by the author, Nhien Vuong, JD, MDiv. This unique contemplative, Enneagram-informed training explores the profound intersection of self-discovery, wholeness, and interconnectedness, empowering you to lead groups with skill and compassion.

Highlights:

• A weekend training held live online, on April 12 & 13, 2025, 10:00 am – 1:00 pm CST (6 hours that count toward IEA Accreditation points)
• 6-month access to a private, online community for questions and sharing
• Exclusive options for follow-up 1:1 mentoring sessions with Nhien Vuong

We welcome all to this training–from Enneagram newcomers to those pursuing certification. For those newer to the Enneagram, the book can serve as your group’s “expert” so you don’t have to. In this training, we hope to foster a safe space for you and your future group participants to self-reflect and grow—in a conscious, contemplative, and Enneagram-literate community.

Schedule & Topics Covered:

Live Session Dates/Times:  April 12 &  April 13, 10am-1pm CST, Online 

Important: Please note that we intentionally spaced the training over 2 days rather than making it one long day. The space in between the sessions is there to allow for more reflection and contemplation and thus deeper, more embodied integration of this material.
