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

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.

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.

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!!

Stand on the land of your ancestors. Take it in. Feel the influence their place and time has on you now.

'...we can become more resilient and more capable in the face of their imminent death, move through it with more calm and acceptance...'

'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'...

Intergenerational stress or trauma or joy or what we create by our own actions, or take on by interest or proximity has an effect. Karma.

'There are inextricable links between human kinship, our kinship with the land (hangout) of our ancestors, and ...our lives and experiences'

‘When you throw a stone into a pond, the pond doesn’t know that it ripples.’

Our life events assume their proper teeny, tiny size in the cosmic scheme of things when we stand in front of our ancestors
