Wild Enneagram Foundations

Retreat - UK

Date: September 25th - 28th

Location: Gambledown Farm, Romsey, United Kingdom

Join us for an immersive, nature-based Enneagram experience in the picturesque countryside of rural Hampshire, England.

The Wild Enneagram Foundations retreat is your chance to embody–through nature-based practice–the various gifts of each Enneagram Type.

In this retreat, nature is not just a beautiful backdrop, but an active participant in the experience, offering pathways to freedom for each of the Nine Types. Expect to engage in dialogue and ceremony with the landscape and the vast community of sentient beings who inhabit it. Experience the unique container that we will create in order to allow for more authentic and original ways of communicating, which stand in stark contrast to day to day reality.

Remember, as all of our ancestors did, to walk the land as if you belonged to it, and to live in reciprocity with the rest of nature. Through doing our Enneagram Inner Work in direct relationship with the land, our potential for growth, healing, and transformation is magnified, and the Earth benefits as well, from our conscious love and attention. 

What You Will Experience:

  • A lasting sense of groundedness, peace, and support.

  • Techniques for practicing letting go of habits and behaviors that are no longer serving you.

  • Connections with a small group of humans, each committed to their own growth.

  • Creative, nature-informed approaches to Enneagram Inner Work.

  • Practices that you can bring with you into your daily life (even if you live in a bustling city!)

  • A revitalized relationship with the more-than-human world that will nourish you as you return to your “normal” life.

Your guides for this experience are Ben Campbell and Sarah Andrews–check out our bios below. However, we want to make it clear that the true teacher in this retreat is the more-than-human world. We see ourselves more as assistants to Nature; our role as “guides” is about supporting our students to release their everyday state of mind and drop into something much deeper and more meaningful. 

Your Facilitators

  • Ben Campbell

    LEAD FACILITATOR

    Ben Campbell is a Riso-Hudson Certified Enneagram teacher, a 2023 Global Conference Presenter, and the President of Enneagram Northeast USA. Passionate about connecting our personal Inner Work with planetary healing, Ben is growing a movement of Enneagram-informed advocates for the more-than-human world. Much of Ben's teaching draws on his training with the Animas Valley Institute and the Maine Primitive Skills School, both organizations committed to healing and developing the human psyche and soul in a nature-based setting.

  • Sarah Andrews

    ASSISTANT FACILITATOR

    Sarah’s passion for both training and coaching lies in developing a creative partnership that compassionately supports individuals in fulfilling their true potential with courage.

    She has been working with the Enneagram for the past 7 years, using it as a tool on her own personal journey of transformation as well as training and coaching others with the Enneagram. She believes it is one of the most powerful frameworks for helping people release coping strategies that no longer serve them, and for letting go of fixated patterns of behavior and thoughts that hold them back.
