A shaman's view of Family Constellations (and how my life and family changed)

My first encounter with Family Constellations occurred in Cornwall, back in 2001.
 
I was leading a tour group of my shamanic students and Lisa, an old friend from Germany, met us there. She told me about this new technique she had been exploring. I asked her to demonstrate it for us, and we wound up doing Family Constellations sessions every evening we were there.
 
One of my first impressions on seeing Family Constellation Work was “this is group shamanism!” In each constellation field I saw revealed a clear manifestation of the communal ancestral soul. I watched again and again as chosen representatives took the position of ancestors and then saw them feel the connections and information flow through them.

Rani George and Chuck Cogliandro are the "holders of sacred space” for this year's North American Systemic Constellations Conference Oct. 5-8 in Virginia Beach, Va. This station involves energetically meditating and praying over the well being of the conference along with planning rituals for the opening and closing ceremonies. 
 
They have also headed an initiative to get the Native Americans of Virginia involved in the conference.  At the steering team's request and through Rani and Chuck's meditative vision, we saw the need to honor the ancestors of Virginia and North America as a whole.
 
This impulse was in alignment with the emphasis of Family and Systemic Constellations on ancestral reverence. Bert Hellinger believed, and systemic constellation work agrees, that family history is a great place to start when trying to find answers to present family dynamics.
 
Systemic Constellations also speaks to acknowledging the excluded people and stories in our personal histories and we must be in integrity and expect the same of our nation.

Do you want a taste of ancestral Family Constellations?

Join Betsy Hostetler and Melody Allen, co-directors of the 2017 North American Systemic Constellations Conference, for a conversation about why constellations matter, and for a practical experience of constellation work. Melody will take us through a process to find out what it’s like to directly experience the ancestors, in our bodies. Betsy will share the unique insight into family bonding (and what gets in the way) that Family Constellations provides.

Join us live via video or phone Monday, June 26, at 5 p.m. ET, 4 CT, 3, MT and 2 PT.  (Check your favorite time zone converter for other times across the globe.) You’ll meet these leaders and ask your questions about why ancestral constellations work matters, how it works, and what will be happening at the conference Oct. 5-8 in Virginia Beach, Va.

Hosted by Leslie Nipps, co-director of the 2015 Systemic Constellations conference. To register for this conversation, contact Leslie at leslie@conviviumconstellations.com, and she’ll send call-in info.

"We’re in this thing together": a walk through history with NASC conference co-directors

By Betsy Hostetler, Ph.D.

Melody Allen, my colleague and friend, flew from Houston to Washington, D.C., to get together and visit the new National Museum of African American History and Culture. Even though the museum had been open for more than six months, it was still difficult to get tickets; people snapped them up the minute they were released.

But Melody, who is the co-director of the North American Systemic Constellations Conference with me, was able to get tickets for us, and we were both thrilled. The team from the Smithsonian, which oversees this national museum and others, said that visitors spend an average of an hour and a half in most museums, but in this one they stay up to six hours.

We arrived there early and found a long line had already formed. We could see that there’s both a hunger to see what’s inside, and a readiness to be in touch with what it holds.
