Monthly Constellating Systems Lab

“We are born with an absolute necessity for help, grow well only with a continuous succession of extended hands, and as adults depend upon others for our further successes and possibilities in life even as competent individuals.”     –David Whyte–

What We Share

concerns & being mutually met –  our tender hearts’ vulnerabilities – honest kindness – welcoming it All

🌻

An initial round of arriving, and sharing what comes with you, is followed by mapping a collective, emergent theme. We might explore its commonality by co-imagining facets/portals that lead us to the issues systemic mending.

We will, just as readily, prioritise an individual’s request for a professional supervision consultation. Maybe you experience an entanglement with a change-seeker (a.k.a., client), want to explore a systemic application, or grapple with a personal (Inner World) issue.

Any multitude of issues, and desires for nourishment or change, are welcome. Your offerings are processed by constellating their systemic context. Systemic Trauma Imagination, family (and beyond) constellating will support our playful systems exploration. You will experience embodied representing, on-your-own-tabletop constellating, blind constellating, and ceremony, where asked for. The process is grounded in somatic presencing and leads to emergent storytelling. Most often, the tools we use, will merge into a shared relationally relevant tapestry, enriched by bright hues of experiential play, shared collective wisdom, and humour.

A Bit About Me

I am a traumatologist, committed to systemic imagination. I engage our many nested worlds and whatever trans-human ecologies want to be part of our time. I entered my apprenticeship in the trauma trade with deeply formative early experiences of relational ruptures. To date, I am fascinated with human trauma. Three decades of working with Change Seekers and trauma trade students.   

I consider Constellating Systems one of my art mediums, most tangibly and visibly expressed by making Constellation Collages I am grateful to my many teachers: Bert Hellinger, Hunter Beaumont,  Since about 2003, I also teach, while continuing to gather knowledge and wisdom into my Systemic Trauma Mending Basket. By now, my personal constellation experiences, decades of creative facilitating, systemic trauma knowledge, and the emphasis on trauma-sensitive work, are all ready to meet emergent systemic dynamics.

🌻

A trauma-sensitive approach (whichever systemic methodology is used) must seek to meet an other’s Nested Worlds (plural!). Their Inner World, just as importantly, as their family-ancestral-cultural-social-historical-and-beyond worlds. This gathering welcomes helping profession (and other) humans that are in discord with inner part, usually formed early in life. Those, that are especially vulnerable to entangling with an other. As care-givers we may be haunted by shame of being professionally inadequate. Or, we worry about professional integrity. These are expressions of Little Persons that make up and reside in our bodyself. When we actually intend on protecting our professional-self, we may be unaware that their entangling counsel (often) is woefully outdated.

This Also Happens!

When we commit to relational courage and intimacy, we sometimes find immature parts jumping in the driver seat. When that happens, sorting through situation-appropriate differentiation for the Little Person. Resepctful and tender mending of connection while also grieving erstwhile wounds, restores the professional adult to, once again, claimimg the driver seat.

All along, we honour the protective prowess of shame, as much as we seek to untangle trauma bonds and invite Little Persons on their (now safe) seat in the bus.

we misstep – we attune – we activate trauma – we slow down –  we have an agenda – we restore emergence – we make a mess – we mend … join us 🙂
