PRESIDENT

Bath, Maine

Ben Campbell is a Riso-Hudson Certified Enneagram Teacher, IEA-Accredited Professional, and the founder of Wild Enneagram. He is especially passionate about the possibility for the Enneagram to make us better planetary stewards--to connect our "inner work" with the "outer work" of healing the relationship between humans and nature. Ben regularly finds inspiration for this idea on his wanders through Maine’s forests and rocky coastline. wildenneagram.com

SECRETARY

Denville, New Jersey

Megan works as the Director of Development & Alumnae Relations at the oldest all-girls high school in the state of New Jersey. Megan began her journey with the Enneagram while working for a hospice on an interdisciplinary team. She is passionate about how the Enneagram helps people create meaning out of suffering and brings an awareness that we are all interconnected.

TREASURER

Old Saybrook, Connecticut

Claudia Pessagno currently works as Director of Energy Research at S&P Global Commodity Insights, with a regional focus on Latin America. The Enneagram found Claudia in 2018, at a time when she needed it most (but didn’t know it!). Her ongoing Enneagram studies, including with the Enneagram Prison Project, continue to help her peel back the many layers of her personality and to learn more about herself and her relationships. In her free time, Claudia is an avid birder, linguist, and pianist. She is excited to have this opportunity to share the Enneagram with other seekers!

Adair is a writer, editor and playwright with two grown sons. Her lifelong curiosity about people’s stories (and surviving a significant trauma) prompted a deep dive into the Enneagram in 2001. Since completing the Riso-Hudson 3-part training, she’s taken and taught numerous workshops on this system that continually offers new vistas of human kind-ness. She hopes this chapter’s curated events and outreach will spark connections and deepen conversations between us all.
