About Wild Enneagram

I have been studying the Enneagram for about fifteen years, having learned about it as a teenager. I passionately believe in its ability to guide us in our unique journeys of self-discovery, and to help us better understand one another.

However, I realized pretty early in my formal training that the Enneagram, amazing as it is, is not sufficient on its own for accessing our full potential as human beings. There is very little discussion about soul or vocation, and almost no mention of the importance of nature. Workshops generally happen at indoor retreat centers or hotels or offices—which may be beautiful places, but the workshops lack any meaningful engagement with the Earth.

I founded Wild Enneagram to change that. Based on my own experiences in nature, as well as trainings with the Animas Valley Institute and the Maine Primitive Skills School, I focus on creating programs that are Enneagram-informed, nature-based, and soul-centric. It’s the unique combination of these three paths that I’ve found most transformative in my own journey, and it’s what I wish to share with as many people as I can.
