A constellation circle is a space of deep healing. You come to find release from patterns, to have rich encounter with others, to see the world from a new perspective. The circle is a sacred space. You leave the circle with insight into your family and ancestral loyalties, with a deeper compassion for others and with a heightened awareness of the depth of our connection.
Being outdoors and on the earth all day adds a richness to the constellation experience that is extraordinary. Healing circles have taken place all over the earth and in all different indigenous cultures. No matter where your genes originate, some of your ancestors will have experienced healing work outdoors in circles with ceremony and celebration. In this circle we have the opportunity to reinforce our connection with mother earth and father sky, with the forest and animals sharing it, with our ancestors, family and community. We will have the assistance of Sombra, our approximately two year old Lab mix. Dogs have been my assistant at most of our outdoor circles and always draw attention to what I am missing.. or the family is missing!
For more information about constellation work, its history, how it works, my training, etcetera, see my web page on constellation work. I plan to hold this circle on an area we have prepared on our own property specially for this purpose. There will be facilities for shared potluck lunch. Please bring a folding chair if possible and whatever sun protection you require as well as water for yourself and food to share. Dishes and cutlery will be provided.
