Systemic constellations in dialogue with the animistic perspective of shamanic traditions make a powerful ally in the quest for healing and awakening, highlighting the family and relational dynamics that inform our daily lives. Often times, such dynamics, so vital for a clear mind and a light heart, arise from invisible loyalties that span generations or from ties to natural settings or non-human beings.
Through systemic and shamanic explorations we will rediscover the compassionate flow at the heart of our relations. This flow releases the wise energy that leads us on the path of our destiny in harmony with the movements of the Great Soul. In this way, we may honor the spiritual core of our existence, tuning in to our rightful place as individuals and as participants in the network of wider wholes and ancestral forces.
We will explore:
- An integrative and relational understanding of the challenges and virtues of our lives as the foundation of healing and wellbeing.
- Refine and experience a systemic and symbolic perspective in service of health and psycho-emotional development.
- An expanded psychology in dialogue with the animistic knowledge of shamanic traditions to accommodate fresh perspectives and resolutions.
- Systemic and shamanic interventions so as to activate your inner potentials and the blessings of your family system.
- Practices you can incorporate into your work in the field of healing and mental health.
