Alongside this run changes in attitudes to ANZAC Day. A feeling that there were wars here, on this land, that have not been acknowledged. Because many people were killed to achieve this (former) outpost of Britain. A feeling that ANZAC Day must be a day to call for peace, not to bathe in warlike waters, while still respectfully remembering the people who died in the two World Wars. A feeling that we also need to remember Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq,.... How can we frame ANZAC Da

We're so busy. We often don't have time for ourselves. A mini or espresso constellation fits nicely at the start of your day, before your mind is distracted by your strangely steady to-do list. Make yourself a brew, silence your phone, and Zoom in with me for 15 minutes of focus on your 'stuff'. Don't put it off any longer. You've got this.

We'll start with exploration of your given name, how you got it, the story behind it - ...Then there'll be time for 2-3 constellations working with issues arising in the exploration...Everyone present benefits from the process - no minute wasted, no one left out. We imagine that experiences that have affected us are unique to us, but they are universally resonant. Kick your year off with a relational refresher that lightens your life!

Last call to register. Sunday 30 November your name, your ancestry, your patterns - 3 hour online workshop and constellations. Book here now!

I needed to check in with something, someone(s) beyond my thoughts, feelings, and perceptions. As I sat in the jury box, I summoned the support of my ancestors through Dad and Lola and Maraea and way, way beyond. That was a moment. And there have been many more since...And that’s it, isn’t it. You are not alone. You are never alone. Your ancestors who dreamed of you are all around. Always.

Exploration, expression and insight via a whole day of discussion, painting and constellation circles. No experience necessary. Just arrive, with your lunch, your water bottle a sun hat and warm layer, and of course, your name. Your given name is a portal into your family history, dynamics, and possibly, secrets. We take it as the starting point for a day of exploration, expression and insight after establishing a container for our shared vulnerability.

Let’s talk about it, normalise it, de-mystify it, try to understand it, accept its pervasiveness, develop compassion toward our friends, family members and acquaintances who encounter it. Lets recognise it as a systemic issue and not an individual issue. Let’s fully accept that ‘mental illness’ is as blameless as cancer or a broken arm, or toothache. Let’s work towards breaking down the often astounding difficulties involved in getting help within the health and welfare syste

The much flaunted ‘it is what it is’ or ‘the world is like that’ hit me as spiritual bypasses. Being urged to cheer up when you’re in deep grief. No, we have to allow our grief, our anger, our disappointment, our rage and frustration and then call on all the resources we have within ourselves, and by connection with friends and family, and political action, being in community, loving relentlessly, with gratitude for goodness, and pushing through with militant kindness. This i

We are all in need of some deep connection to ourselves and others in this awful time in the world in which our small personal issues are submerged by the accumulation of grief we are in. We cannot fix the world, but we can work with the personal.Are you choosing the same partner? in messy relationship(s) with parent, child or sibling? struggling with the effects of abuse?Constellations works with these issues. ..and many more.

These are pieces of information about unfinished business that I need to work with to fully release subtle trauma my body is still holding onto decades later. I know, without the slightest doubt that going into constellation with another facilitator will enable that to happen. Either something works or it doesn't. My experience is that constellations work, every time. The field does not lie, ever.

Systemic constellations provide a pragmatic/phenomenological way of working with the generationally collected and currently collective traumas we carry, by recognising what is, opening up our natural resilience which is a resource we take for granted, or perhaps we don’t even acknowledge it. We have it, though, otherwise we would not have made it to this moment, in whatever shape we are in.

We are stardust!!

...every time things seem to be sorting out, something else comes along to mess it up again, because that’s how life is, particularly for vulnerable people of all kinds ...

Israel is the apparently unimpeachable former victim turned rampant perpetrator, blessed only with protectors, not stopped by flame facers, or only ones they murder.

'...three women and their somewhat chaotic lives with lovers and mothers and others, we find a Constellation practitioner working in an idyllic Turkish setting.'

How can we better know our parents, their parents and grandparents, and by extrapolation the ones who came before them? Who were they, the dearly loved elders?

Adolescence, the Netflix series, is loaded with trauma coming down the line, and out of the Andrew Tate poisoned air. And more. I'm picking up on just one aspect of family systems here. Belonging.
