For most of us, our cultures in the Western world are cultures of separation and often isolation. Both personal experience and science tell us that this is not how humans were meant to be – not how we used to be, not what’s possible as we heal, and not what humanity needs at this point in history.
In this workshop, Meghan will lead us through Constellations on issues participants bring and will introduce us to Constellations’ cousin, Systemic Ritual®. Whereas in Constellations, one person is the seeker, in Systemic Ritual, many people can participate as seekers at the same time, healing concerns that many/most of us have in common, though we may not realize it. One could refer to this way of working as Collective Constellations or, as ritual. Often using the Wheel of the Four Directions, participants can work through entanglements such as their relationship with mother and/or father, difficulties in romantic relationships, feelings of loss of home on one level, or perhaps loss of soul on another level, to name just a few possibilities. We do this by working together, as we feel called, with each person having their own unique and personal experience. And as we begin to return to ancient indigenous practices, we create a deeper sense of community.
This workshop will be an interplay between (traditional) Constellations for your personal questions and group rituals on themes that impact us all. You will gain an understanding of the differences and similarities between Constellations and ritual work, have the chance to work on personal issues either directly in a Constellation or indirectly in a group ritual, learn several applications of Systemic Ritual® and gain some new resources for your own practices for anyone already working as a facilitator.
This workshop is recommended for those who have some experience representing in constellations, or with non-ordinary or imaginal reality, as through shamanic practice, since we will not be focusing on helping people learn to represent.
