Dear Friends,
Our June Family Constellation workshop was astounding.
Each participant’s intent created a dynamism that none of us will easily forget. During the closing ceremony, the sun came out from behind stormy rain clouds and shone its healing warmth on us all.
The 25th-27th July Family Constellation Weekend workshop is now booking.
For those of you taking a summer break, there is the 12th-14th September workshop.
Woof!
At Holeland Farm we now have five terraces of organic gardens.
Anyone who would like to stay and help us dig, plant, pick in return for bed and board, give us a ring.
Or for a Dartmoor break, we have a choice of three caravans – outstanding natural beauty on their doorstep. Ring us.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
With love,
Sarasi
A Constellation can centre around a health issue or an illness.
A recent participant was carrying an intense burning sensation, a “bombshell” in his lower stomach that could not be explained by medical professionals.
The Constellation revealed that in the 1800s his family’s mill was burnt to the ground.
This caused devastation and loss to his family and the surrounding villagers who worked at the mill.
After the Constellation this participant found a newspaper article about the event that described the mill “bursting into flames like a fireball”. He had been physically carrying around these flames of tragedy all his life.
Constellations are like meditations.
Without expectations, we allow them to lead us to whatever wants attention. They are inner movements that guide us to some obstacle standing in our way.
Bert Hellinger describes them as inward journeys to the core:
“Without plans, we are in Love most deeply, and Love shows us the way, moment to moment.”
The Constellation of a mother in despair over her daughter’s anorexia moved towards her son’s early death. It evolved that the daughter was carrying her parent’s unresolved guilt and emotions from this death. The burden was so great, it was affecting the daughter’s core will to live.
“What happens to my pain when I agree to it, when I no longer try to get rid of it, when I take it close to my heart and allow it to calm down in me, when I permit it to take the lead?
Perhaps this pain wants to take me to something I have lost sight of, or to guide me back to something that is wanting recognition, and a solution. It takes me by the hand, further and deeper. When I simply surrender, my pain finds peace."
