Family Constellation and Other Acts of Self-Love
An Experiential Philosophy of Freedom with Suzi Tucker
October 21st & 22nd, 2023
Through the philosophy and process of Family Constellations, we begin to identify the systemic traumas that reverberate in current life - the hidden entanglements, loyalties, and patterns that hold us back from joy. In this 2-day gathering, we will explore ways to reveal and release the burdens of previous generations so that we can become more available to ourselves. We will use the lens and process of Family Constellations to establish the ways in which the struggles of our parents or caregivers may have been displaced onto us, causing us to enter, upon birth, a hidden trauma bond. Fortunately, we have the privilege and space to find the support path our predecessors could not. We get to ask the questions, to envision the places where agency was lost, and to re-envision a fresh and empowered relationship with the past so we can more freely orient to the future.
Participants will learn about:
Tapping into the resilience of the ancestors
Releasing inherited resentment and regret
Establishing a deeper wellspring of resources
Developing an ideology that is generative and optimistic
Taking our place, fully present, and ready to reclaim life-force
