Hi, I'm Ben,
Let's rewild
Education
We live in a complex world of uncertainty and change and education is evolving.
The transformation of education is the transformation or ourselves and the world.

About me.
Born and raised on Washington's Olympic Peninsula, I was immersed in the wilderness from an early age, shaping my passion for learning and training.
My unconventional education includes mentorships, apprenticeships, and decades of holistic self-study across diverse disciplines, giving me a distinctive, "out-of-the-box" perspective.
My coaching and consulting practice is built on a lifetime of embodied learning and over 20 years of experience mentoring individuals and groups in primal skills, liminal practices, and ancestral wisdom.
This foundation is enhanced by academic studies in education, learning experience design, educational technology, complexity science, cognitive science, and the natural sciences, offering a cutting-edge, integrative approach.

Curriculum & Program Design
Integrating the patterns and processes of nature as a holistic framework for education.
