“The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.” – Helen Keller

Each and every one of us loves in our own unique way. For most of us, we tend to excel in some areas and struggle in others.

Perhaps you’re great at giving love and are less comfortable receiving. Or you receive love easily, but mysteriously lose interest in people after an early phase of excitement. Maybe the particular way you act in relationships is something you’ve always done, or maybe you’ve gotten burned and tried to reinvent yourself.

Regardless of how you act or react in relationship today, one thing is clear: everyone carries a particular template for how we give and receive love. It’s a map that guides all the patterns we fall into when we’re seeking partnership, getting into relationships and maintaining relationships.

Whether you’re a giver, receiver, the provider, the strong one, or the distant one: being or having ‘a type’ isn’t necessarily the problem. The problem is when we feel stuck in patterns that put us through familiar cycles of feeling disappointed, hurt, unloved, lonely, distant, disconnected and more.

On Saturday January 26th, we will be engaging in a powerful and experiential healing process devoted to rewriting your template and putting unhealthy or unwanted relationship patterns to rest.

Family Constellations for a Healthier Connection With Love

Using Family Constellations, a groundbreaking healing modality, this workshop will hone in on an often overlooked or misunderstood aspect of the human experience: the effect your family of origin has on your present day life.

The power of this approach is in its ability to simplify what often feels like a complex or confusing set of issues. Instead of digging into a lifetime of stories of let downs, break ups and/or grief, this process helps you surface what lives at the core of the patterns you’re seeing in your love life.

Once uncovered, the work aims to provide you with meaningful and lasting tools to heal that can have far reaching effects outside of the workshop.

Why Family?

Family Constellations is supported by two decades of Epigenetic research which has repeatedly shown that what your parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents experienced in life has a major impact on how you move and act in the world today. By considering your relationship to family and the experiences of past generations in your understanding of a present day challenge, you’re given an extraordinary opportunity to find solutions that might never have been considered previously.

What Happens in the Workshop?

Family Constellations is an eyes-open, experiential approach, in which fellow participants will be asked to stand and represent relevant aspects of your life. Depending on the issue you’re experiencing, representatives may be chosen for your partner, an ex, or other people in your life or family. As these individuals stand in representation, they will be gently guided to tap into an awareness that allows them to become a mirror that reflects back the dynamics you’re exploring.

At first, the accuracy of these maps or constellations may be surprising. But as we progress through the workshop, we’ll go beyond creating visual representations of your life and move towards how you can free yourself from the entanglements that are wrapped around your potential to receive and experience love in the way you want.

Some of the Intentions of This Workshop:

• Engage in a process of connecting with consciousness that is beyond the ordinary

• Uncover barriers that are entangled around love, relationship and your family system so that they may be seen and healed in conscious awareness

• Break the unconscious patterns that pull you toward recreating echoes of the past in your present day life

• Offer practical steps to move forward with strength to make meaningful and positive shifts in your life outside of the workshop

A note: Every person will experience tapping into different family systems and representing for each other in the workshop. Due to the format and time frame, some people may not be able to take on the role of the client and have a personal Family Constellation. However, for the vast majority of people that engage in this work, the experience of representing for others is as personally significant as being the client. We are all connected, and it’s the process of representation that supports the intentions you bring to the workshop. There will also be group exercises that will ensure everyone is receiving personal insight specific to their experience.

*This class is limited to 12 people in order to provide as much individual support as possible.

Back by popular demand, I'll be doing another workshop on the relationships we have to work and money. We will examine the often overlooked ways our family and upbringing deeply shapes how we work, whether we save money or not, the types of jobs we are attracted to, and how we interact with our bosses or our clients/customers. From there, we'll move from insight to action and begin to connect to practical ways of shifting these patterns so that we are freer to connect with our intentions at work and outside of work.

This workshop sold out last time it was held. To make sure you can attend, register in advance!

Full Workshop Description

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” – Carl Jung

Have you ever stopped to examine why you work the way you do? Do you struggle to find work that pays fairly and fulfills you at the same time? Have you tried to improve your work situation by switching jobs or career paths only to find that you’re running into the same problems with your new boss and coworkers? Or perhaps you’ve started a business but the vulnerability of promoting yourself has you feeling frozen?

If this resonates with you, you’re not alone. Many people encounter mysterious internal and external barriers in the workplace. And despite a change of office or changing fields of work completely, they still find themselves fighting the same battles to feel respected, worthy, and be fulfilled by their work.

Using Systemic Constellations, a groundbreaking healing modality, this workshop will hone in on how your experiences at work are deeply connected to often overlooked aspects of your upbringing, your family and even your family’s history.

This isn’t casual observation. Systemic Constellations are supported by two decades of Epigenetics research which has repeatedly shown that what your parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents experienced in life impacts how you move and act in the world today.

In this eyes-open, experiential approach, fellow participants will be asked to stand and represent aspects of your workplace, money, or specific people in your life and family. As these individuals stand in representation, they will be gently guided to tap into a field of consciousness that allows them to become a mirror that reflects back the dynamics you’re exploring. At first, the accuracy of these maps or constellations may be surprising. But as we progress through the workshop, we’ll go beyond creating visual representations of your life and move towards how you can free yourself from the entanglements that are wrapped around your potential to receive and experience more from your work.
Some of the intentions of this workshop:

• Engage in a process of connecting with consciousness that is beyond the ordinary

• Uncover the areas of your work and family system that are unhealed, unseen or unacknowledged so that they may be worked with in conscious awareness

• Break the unconscious patterns that pull you toward recreating echoes of the past in your present day life

• Offer practical steps to move forward with strength to make meaningful and positive shifts in your life outside of the workshop

A note: Every person will experience tapping into differing fields of consciousness and will represent for each other in the class. Due to the format and time frame, it may be the case that one or two attendees will not have a personal constellation done of their work environment or family. However, for the vast majority of people that engage in this work, the experience of representing for others is just as insightful as having a personal constellation. What you represent is always of significance. There are no coincidences.

I'm excited to share that I'm returning to Maha Rose to lead a healing workshop devoted to the relationships we have with work and money.

I'm excited to announce I'll be returning to Maha Rose to lead a healing workshop on family and ancestry Sunday March 18th. The workshop will offer an opportunity for people to connect the dots within themselves and their lineage in a way they may never have before. From there, we'll move from insight to action and open our minds and bodies to resolutions that can profoundly shift our lives outside of the session.

Why look at our family and ancestors? The latest research in the field of Epigenetics shows that the effects of trauma experienced by ancestors can be passed down to children, grandchildren and beyond. A family history that includes war, abuse, displacement, secrets or the emotional toll of an unexpected death does not end with the ancestors that experienced it. Instead our ancestor's experience lives on and influences our coping mechanisms, how we support ourselves, who we bond with, how we use money and where we feel safe in the world.

Our family has a strong influence on how we face the world. It can be a powerful resource or something that on some level we feel we must overcome in order to be the person we want to be. No matter the circumstances, we'll work gently and compassionately to find strength in where we come from. And we'll have the opportunity to bring that new sense of strength and rootedness into our lives.

Full Workshop Description

“A human being is part of the whole… [though] he experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest – a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.” – Albert Einstein

The latest research in the field of Epigenetics shows that the effects of trauma experienced by ancestors can be passed down to children, grandchildren and beyond. A family history that includes war, displacement, secrets, abuse or the emotional toll of an unexpected death does not end with the ancestors that experienced it. Instead, it lives on in the descendants.

Using Systemic Family Constellations we will examine the deepest, often ignored aspects of who we are and where we come from. We'll examine the long-tail effects transgenerational suffering has on our coping mechanisms, how we support ourselves, who we bond with, how we use money and where we feel safe in the world. Once connected with these broader views of who we are, we'll engage in a process that uncovers meaningful resolutions that can translate into positive shifts in our lives outside of the session.

In this eyes-open, experiential approach, the group will be asked to stand and represent people from your family, lineage, or a significant other in your life. As these individuals stand in representation, they will be gently guided to tap into a field of consciousness that allows them to become a mirror that reflects back the dynamics you’re exploring. At first, the accuracy of these maps or constellations may be surprising. But as we progress through the workshop, we’ll go beyond creating visual representations of our lives and move towards how we can free ourselves from the entanglements that are wrapped around our potential to receive and experience more from life.

Some of the intentions of this workshop:

• Engage in a process of connecting with consciousness that is beyond the ordinary
• Experience what it feels like to have our personal stories and family history be a source of strength that enables us to live in alignment with our goals
• Break unconscious cycles of sabotage by bringing the roots of unwanted patterns into conscious awareness and transmuting them
• Connect anger, resentment or hopelessness with its core source to reveal practical steps toward resolution

A note: Every person will experience tapping into differing fields of consciousness and will represent for each other in the class. Due to the format and timeframe, it may be the case that one or two attendees will not have a personal constellation done of their family. However, for the majority of people that engage in this work, the experience of representing for others is just as insightful as having a personal constellation. What you represent is always of significance.

Organizational Constellation Workshop at Maha Rose

I'm excited to announce that I'm hosting a workshop at the Maha Rose Center of Healing on Saturday December 2nd! The workshop goes from 3-5pm and will touch on how our relationship to work and money is forged. This work can support anyone by addressing the often overlooked connection that exists between how we support ourselves and the dynamics within our family and larger ancestry. The approach is an eyes-open experiential method of connecting with how we may be currently entangled in negative relationships to our jobs, bosses and coworkers and provides insight for how to gracefully step out of those unwanted dynamics.
