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

Autumn feels, chocolate eggs, spiced buns, and a reminder that torture always was and always will be evil. And an antidote to the way the world is: Bill Nighy's pod, ill-advised.

This is the story, refracted into a million parts by pretty words, analytical words, apologetic words, words of denial and buck passing - 'I wasn’t there' - we don’t believe you 'I didn’t go' - we don’t believe you 'I didn’t see' - we don’t believe you 'Nothing 'untoward' ever happened when I was there' - we don’t believe you. We believe the children and the women. It is their story.

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!

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

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.

We are stardust!!

'...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?

'Experience the deep exploration of a family/systemic constellation without leaving home. You need good connectivity and laptop or tablet'..

'...get to the root source of your unhelpful patterns - yes, even you, you wonderful accomplished person'...
