Who Are You Without Your Story?
Bill Mannle, LMFT A Family Constellation's core concept is the systemic entanglement: A deep emotional connection that keeps us bound to our families in unhealthy ways. Beneath the surface of "entanglements" lie the stories, the inherited myths, beliefs, and concepts you live by to make sense of your life. In other words, "Your Story." Musings: "We organize our circumstances into stories, stories we pick up along the way and carry within us. Stories that declare, I'm lacking. Why me? Stories. I'm alone, stories. What will I amount to? Stories. Stories about who we should be. Or think we are. They are interior maps whose familiar roads we travel. Over and over. Yet when we apprehend these maps, these stories, these patterns, when we become aware of our own thinking, we awaken and arise, as it were, to a new perspective, to new possibilities. We see that our misery had only been us looking through the stories with which we had defined the world; and our difficult feelings simply our body's responses to those narratives." Jean-Pierre Weil from, The Well of Being: A Children's Book for Adults What if you let your story drop away? Or, as David Carse suggests, "Stop taking everything seriously. Stop taking it at all. Let it be. Be still. Stop. Let grace stop you." Through rituals, exercises, and Family Constellations, you will learn:

The Resolve of Sacrifice
Andrea Bosbach Largent As people we are habituated within the reality of sacrifice. It may be part of an ancestral trauma or loyalty, religion, or part of an abuse or ill-wellness paradigm.... Once sacrifice has entered a system it holds a kind of spell over those who are part; spell-binding them into a context of sacrificing on a limiting scale. Can this spell of sacrifice be lifted? Of course it can! To do so we first engage with the nature of sacrifice which is offering; a nature quite benign and loving. In our practitioner world we may encounter sacrifice as part of a clients' challenge, our own life's challenges, and quite possible as part of our FacilitatorShip - limiting us in our growth and true capacities. As a mentor and trainer I attest that sacrifice is quite a common stumbling block for Facilitators and Helping Professionals. And so I wish to take this opportunity to bring lightness, lifting and clarity into this collective, ancestral and personal phenomenon through this learning circle. Including a heart and soul filled presentation, exploration and illumenous learning. Bring yourself, some willingness to change, transform and inspire as we lift the veils of sacrifice from you, your relations, and your ancestoral field(s). Explorations in our time together may include addressing chronic conditions such as illness or lack of wellness. As we explore the nature of sacrifice - in life, in constellations and as part of Facilitatorship, we naturally lighten our own part in it. Excitingly so, Sacrifice is also a long-standing collective notion and so we will be contributing to the collective at large as we re-align ourselves and our ancestral spell-bindings into its natural state which is the grace of give and take, offering and receiving. About the Presenter Join Andrea Bosbach Largent, MSW, SFT in a highly interactive learning circle. Andrea is an international full-time Trainer and Facilitator of Constellations starting out in 1992 in her home country: Germany, supporting the Constellation Field in the USA, her second homeland, since 1999. As a first generation Facilitator, Andrea encountered direct teaching and mentorship with Bert Hellinger, Dr. Albrecht Mahr, Gunthard Weber and Claudia Mengel (Constellations with the Coloured Fields). She holds Masters in Family Systems, Social Work, and Holistic Healing. Her Constellation Work is client-focussed, ritual-inclusive, initiating transformative motions inside the ancestral system at large, and the client within.Andrea most recently offered insights and trainings into her work in the United States, Ireland, Great Britain, India, Australia, South-Africa as well as Maylasia and Kuwait. The University of Pittsburgh, Universtity of Pennsylvania, the Malvern Gestalt Institute (PA) have hosted her Constellation work in the past for which she is most grateful. Recent studies (2015) with Stephan Hausner have deepened her client-focus and capacity to work with chronic conditions in profound ways - and with deep gratitude. One of Andrea 's passions is the integration of Multi-Generational Trauma Release into main stream therapy and psychology. Her trademarked Geno-Chart-Process™ permits therapists of all modalities to incorporate Ancestral Trauma Release into their practices. This training is in its 8th cycle of training, and began in 2010. Supporting those impacted by bipolarism, schizophrenia, autism and psychosis is another one of Andrea's devotion. She successfully integrated Constellations into Mental Health treatment, diagnostics, and maintenance. Andrea was one of the first to explore the human-animal field of relations to illness for both: human and/or animal; assisting the animals to release illness for both: themselves and their human companions. As well as home and land constellations. Astrology-Constellations are another one of Andrea's talents, so are Past Life Processees, Curse and Oaths Unravelings, and the Dis-Entanglement of Spirit Related Illness. Andrea brings with her abilities of MediumShip, Spirit & Space Clearing, Ancestral Spirit or Curse Unraveling, Compassionate Depossession, as well as Spirit Journeys in the Shamanic Tradition of the Seidr as her indigenous roots. Working consciously and conscientiously inside the structure of Circle Technology is another pillar in Andrea's Constellation experience and teachings. A profound respect and practice is present in honoring the Ancestral Wisdom and Teachings of the West African People as presented to Andrea through Elder Malidoma Some. The Constellation Process was initiated in essential ways by the Zulu People of Africa and their connection to Bert Hellinger, the German Founder of the process we call: a Family Constellation. Hence indigenous roots are evident in this process, so are western and modern roots. Andrea's Constellation Work is a fusion devoted to honoring and healing all People: those alive today, those who came before us and descendants to be. Www.AncestralRealms.net |
