The Wild Enneagram Village

Now accepting applications for our first cohort beginning June 27th!

The Wild Enneagram Village is a weekly online practice community that supports you in living a life of Nature & Soul amidst the complexity of modern life

About

While sometimes challenging, it is completely possible to be in touch with our innate wildness and live in the modern world.

To do so requires the support of an authentic community, a healthy dose of creativity and playfulness, and a regular practice of connecting with nature wherever you live (even in tiny ways). The Enneagram is a huge help because it is our personality patterns that ultimately prevent us from experiencing a deeper connection with nature and our soul.

So, this is the aim for the Wild Enneagram Village: to support you in living a life of Nature & Soul, in community with other like-minded students, all informed by the Enneagram. Here is what you can expect:

  • Structured weekly sessions, each with a theme, a reading, and small group councils

  • A unique blend of Enneagram, ecopsychology/ecospirituality, and soul work teachings

  • Type-specific invitations to connect with your local ecosystems

  • Accountability for your own inner work

  • Opportunities to learn more about the Nine Types through direct experience

Details

  • The first cohort meets Thursdays from 1:00-2:30pm EST, beginning June 27th.

    A second cohort will begin when the first cohort is full, and will meet Mondays from 5:00pm-6:30pm EST.

    All sessions meet on Zoom.

  • Each session is 90 minutes and includes open sharing, a short teaching and reading, group exercises, small group councils, and invitations to deepen your work during the week. Questions and personal discoveries are always welcome: a group like this is by nature a co-created experience.

  • In order to build a genuine community, a 10-week commitment is required, and the calls will not be recorded. This allows village members to get to know one another over a sustained period of time, and to be able to share freely during sessions.

  • There are three payment tiers available for the Wild Enneagram Village. $20 per session, $25 per session, or $30 per session. Note that current Village members also receive a 25% discount on coaching sessions with Ben.

  • Please submit the Wild Enneagram Village survey to submit an application. We begin on June 27th!

  • If you have any questions, please email me at ben@wildenneagram.com

Sample Topics

Below are three examples of the kinds of topics we focus on—this is by no means extensive. Actual cohort sessions will be based on what each group is needing.

The 7 Signs of a Whole Human Being

Teachings from the Maine Primitive Skills School on what a true “human baseline experience” is when not immersed in Western or Westernized culture, and how to return to this state more often in the midst of modern life.

Talking Across the Species Boundary

99% of all of our ancestors were capable of relating to the more-than-human world just as intimately as to other humans. We have forgotten this capacity—but it is accessible to us when we are able to accommodate (but not take seriously) the objections of our inner critic. Readings from Soulcraft by Bill Plotkin.

Enneagram Three Centers & Nature

Explorations on how to connect with Nature through the doorway of the Body Center, the Heart Center, and the Head Center. Suggestions for doing so in a variety of settings, from downtown cities to remote forests.
