A transformational walk with the family soul . . .

Family systems constellations reveal those places where one suffers out of loyalty to the challenges, wounds and fears of the past in the system.  Being disconnected from our lineage, land and stories, many modern souls are searching for the inclusion which is so often found in a simple movement in the Circle. Walking with the ancestors, we will introduce respect, and the incorporation of ancient healing wisdom traditions and ritual in life and systems constellations.

In this workshop, participants will:

•Be introduced to family system constellation work

•Be encouraged to consider the family system dynamics in their own background, including the orders of love, the role of the ancestors in healing and victim/perpetrator dynamics

•Experience a constellation, either their own, standing in as a representative, or as an observer.

Francesca Mason Boring, is an enrolled member of the Shoshone Nation, an aboriginal tribe in the US.  She has been trained in Family Constellations by many of the original masters in constellation work through out the world.

She has facilitated workshops/trainings throughout the US, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Switzerland, Holland, Italy, Singapore, Australia, Bulgaria and South Africa.

Mason Boring serves on the advisory board of and writes for The Knowing Field, the journal for constellation work and has authored six books, most recently Family & Systems Constellations: In the Company of Good People.

The Practice of Family Constellations for Personal and Professional Growth

Katherine M. Curran, Ph.D

Family and Systemic Constellations is an indigenously inspired practice that was initially developed by a German ex-priest and psychotherapist named Bert Hellinger, from personal experiences with Zulu tribes people in South Africa.Constellations reveal a ‘life image’ of unconscious dynamics in a family, organizational, or social system. Through having participants represent elements in a system, a constellation can display relationships, entanglements and connections between people in a family, or people and/or functions in an organization or social system that we would not be aware of otherwise. We live the symptoms of entangled dynamics through patterns we create and recreate to our detriment - even over generations - with greater or lesser degrees of pain and/or unhappiness.

Constellations expand and change our sense of the ground of an issue so that we see the figure in a fuller, more meaningful light. They show what is out of order that leads to these symptoms, and by revealing this allow a healthier, more functional order to be established. Two distinguishing traits of this method are that it allows us to access and heal patterns created in earlier generations (i.e., transgenerational trauma), and that it does this through drawing on information available in an expanded sense of ‘the field’ as first described by Kurt Lewin. In this intensive, participants will learn the basics of constellations, have opportunities to either work on personal or professional issues, to represent in others’ constellations, and to debrief the experiences from a Gestalt point of view.

How can the ability to read the field help heal the wounds of the soul and of society?

During this seminar, Elena will work with the movements of the field in the most common and simultaneously most unique human stories.

-        Why am I alone?

-        Why are there problems in my marriage?

-        Why is my child behaving “badly?”

-        What is making me ill?

-        How can I find work I really love?

-        How can I make more money and spend it with pleasure?

These questions are shared by all of us and by our clients. The ability to read and understand the field processes which correspond with these questions can give us the answers. And at the same time, working with the field can give us the chance to create openings and successes where there previously were none.  

Elena will explain, demonstrate, and offer exercises, and do constellations and explain them.

Elena Veselago is a leading Russian constellations facilitator, leader and the organizer of the Russian professional society of constellators. Having started her study of constellations directly with Bert Hellinger, Elena then continued her education with the most important international constellations masters. She has studied with 28 teachers from German, the Netherlands, the USA, and Australia, and other countries, including with teachers who offer shamanic training. Elena is a regular presenter at international professional conferences in Europe, the USA and in Australia, and is also the organizer of the largest constellations conference in Russia, “The Open Field.” Combining a deep sensitivity to the field, a knowledge of systemic laws, and access to the great resources of humanness and nature, Elena has created her own style of doing constellations, including the development of definitions and technology that support integration. Elena is very grateful to be working with Sarah Peyton, who is able to translate new phrases and ideas from Russian into English in order to make them available to the international audience.

Sarah Peyton, who visited us recently to teach us the Relational Neuroscience of Constellations, is delighted to be able to support our connection with Elena Veselago by being our Russian translator for Elena's visit. Elena is Sarah's own master teacher, and she is as excited about being with us to learn as she is to interpret. Saah worked as a simultaneous interpreter for 20 years before she had her son, and only returned to Russian and to translating when she met Elena and wanted to learn from her and to support other non-Russian speakers to learn from her.
