Your name is “one of the greatest gifts that a family can give you. It is the first gift that a child, when they enter the Earth, receives from their family. It is usually informed by tradition and love, and the hope and aspiration the family has for that child. It is something precious and sacred and it is a part of their identity.”–Vice-President Kamala Harris on The Daily Show, October 2020
I'm back at Dolly Gray's in Whangamomona for a coupleof weeks while Tracey is on holiday. Thanks to technology, workshops and constellations can and will go on!
We'll start with exploration of your given name, how you got it, the story behind it - ah you don't think there is one, but you're 99% sure to be mistaken about that.
Then there'll be time for 2-3 constellations working with issues arising in the exploration. There is opportunity for one more person to have their issue constellated, maybe two. 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!
Unlearn a lifetime of answering to not your name. Make them taste your name, their unknowing tongues prickling with tamarind. Shape their mouths around cardamom vowels, your syllables turmeric. Teach them to whisper spice, intone fire.
