Last week in Washington, DC, we saw – again – how our structures are falling apart, with so much suffering for so many. We might ask – When will this be over? It’s an understandable question, but it may not be the question we need right now.
Things will continue to fall apart. Why? Because our shared structures are not working. If anything has become clear in this pandemic at the end of a presidential term, we’ve come to know this. It’s not unlike the personal experience of people with addictions, who have layers of disruption in their lives until they “hit bottom,” get help, and transformation begins. Of course, this is what we hope; however, often, despite the compounding suffering all around, the falling apart continues until the system is completely destroyed. None of us hope for that – for ourselves, our loved ones, or our communities.
But we can’t participate in a “coming together,” a restoration and an experience of peace, if we don’t wrestle with and engage what’s falling apart. Black Americans watched what happened in Washington, DC, and saw their reality confirmed – a “falling apart” that white Americans, even those of good faith, still don’t sufficiently perceive. We have to see and engage what’s not working, interrogate it together, to find new ground for life – not just for us as individuals, but for our larger communities upon which we all depend.
Falling Apart to Come Together, the 2021 West Coast Constellations Intensive, is an opportunity to do some of this work, using the amazing tool of Systemic Constellations to help us see underneath what is most obvious – to recognize false innocence, get friendly with our limitations, share our suffering, offer up potent hopes, and find the unexpected love that lies at the heart of our lives. Savings of $100 are available through this Friday, January 15th
Also, my Advanced Constellation Training, which starts next month, will be a place for facilitators to wrestle with these more advanced topics, learning about our invisible loyalties and how to create space to help others do the same. Savings of $250 are available through January 22nd.
Finally, my regular online constellation gatherings also continue. Through the lens of a particular person’s questions, we see into the collective. Please come to witness and participate as we ask our ancestors to help us let go of the loyalities of trauma, and step into our shared foundation of love.
For information about all these opportunities, go to my Events Page. Check out the details, and I hope you join me in the weeks ahead…
