From Whangamomona Aotearoa-New Zealand: last call to Sunday 18 January workshop and constellation circle
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!

Ghosts haunt us. Ancestors walk beside us. Bruce Springsteen and Barack Obama talk about their fathers. My jury service. And some tea from Maya Angelou
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.

What's in your name? Just your whole world. How on earth did you get it?
Jack or Jill, Ahmed or Aysegul, Francesco or Claudia, love it or hate it, your name contains big intergenerational stories, in just a few letters or characters. Let's have a look into it.

A message to the New Zealand governing coalition: not in my name.
But it is not a peace plan. The whole world saw that in a nano second. It is merely the coda to Netanyahu’s forever stated determination to smash and decimate Palestine in Gaza and take over the territory fully. Humanity cannot bear the personal and collective consequences of the evil enacted in this genocide. For generations we will feel the trauma it has created.

In Person Constellation: same day, new time Sunday 14 September 1-5pm
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.
