On this podcast, Michael concludes his conversation with Christopher Heuertz, author of “The Sacred Enneagram: Finding your Unique Path to Spiritual Growth”. Chris is also the author of 3 other books, “Unexpected Gifts: Discovering the Way of Community”, “Simple Spirituality: Learning to See God in a Broken World”, and “Friendship at the Margins: Discovering Mutuality in Service and Mission”.

After 20 years of grassroots work in some of the world’s poorest slums, red light districts and places of intense human suffering, Chris and his wife Phileena founded Gravity, a Center for Contemplative Activism that exists to nurture the integral connection between contemplation and action. Gravity grounds social change in contemplative spirituality, to do good better by facilitating contemplative retreats, spiritual direction, enneagram consultations, and pilgrimage. Chris says, “Our aim is to make contemplative practices accessible to individuals and communities who care about their spirituality and want to make the world a better place.

Christopher Heuertz is Michael’s special guest for the next two podcasts. In addition to being an author and speaker, Chris describes himself as a contemplative activist, ecclesial provocateur, curator of unlikely friendships, instigator for good, witness to hope, and clergy for common people.

Chris has spent his life bearing witness to the possibility of hope in a world that has legitimate reasons to question God’s goodness. Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, Chris studied at Asbury University in Kentucky before moving to India where he was mentored by Mother Teresa for three years. While living in India, he helped launch South Asia’s first pediatric AIDS care home–creating a safe haven for children impacted by the global pandemic.

His vocation has taken him to over 70 countries working among the most vulnerable of the world’s poor. In 2012, he and his wife Phileena launched Gravity, a Center for Contemplative Activism. Find our more about Christopher Heuertz here
