Ben Campbell has spent the last 15 years studying the Enneagram; a system that can help us classify personalities based on core motivations, desires, and fears. Though he’s passionate about its value as a wayfinding tool for better understanding ourselves and others, he realized early on in his studies that it was insufficient on its own for helping us access our full potential as human beings. It lacked a meaningful connection to the Earth, to the soul — the very things that make us human.
Based on his experiences in nature, as well as his trainings from the Animas Valley Institute and the Maine Primitive Skills School, Ben founded Wild Enneagram. When infused with an array of approaches that are grounded in nature and centric to our souls, this coaching unlocks transformative potential to help us reconnect with the wild ecosystem of our psyches, and learn to reconcile the restraints our modern world places upon them.
"The Tree Agreement" by Elise Paschen The neighbor calls the Siberian Elm a “weed” tree, demands we hack it down, says the leaves overwhelm his property, the square backyard. He’s collar-and-tie. A weed tree? Branches screen buildings, subway tracks, his patch of yard. We disagree, claim back the sap, heartwood, wild bark. He declares the tree “hazardous.” We shelter under leaf-hoard, crossway for squirrels, branch house for sparrows, jays. The balcony soaks up the shade. Chatter-song drowns out cars below. Sun branches down. Leaves overwhelm. The tree will stay. We tell him “no.” Root deep through pavement, Elm.
