Mini Retreat in New Orleans 

Ancestral Constellations are a transgenerational approach to healing your family tree and bringing more harmony and balance back into the family system. This approach more closely integrates the indigenous roots and ancestral traditions within the systemic constellations process, 'roots' which are often overlooked and undervalued. Families are part of communities and often the two are indivisible in African and Asian Diaspora life. We will map 'constellations over' a range of issues in order to explore their impact on family identity and community cohesion. You will also observe some social and community issues that impact and influence BIPOC transgenerational family life.

AIM & BENEFITS

This weekend will introduce you to the therapeutic benefits of the constellation process. Using this approach to explore family relationship patterns can offer a different perspective on generational 'storying' and lead to new solutions. Participants will have the opportunity to explore the different applications of the method in personal, family, community, social and professional contexts.

The retreat will support both personal and professional development.
