A two-day immersion · October 10–11, 2026
The Inheritance
A two-day Family and Systemic Constellations immersion
for seekers, helpers, and leaders
What of our inheritance needs to be released, and what of it needs to be welcomed?
What parts of our lives are governed by the systems we came from?
And how much more of life could we welcome in if we were to connect to the gifts and blessings of our lineage?
These are the questions we will spend two days turning over.
The work
Not everything we carry began with us
Our inheritance is rich and layered.
Some of what we carry belongs to the life we have made. And some of it was waiting for us before we even arrived.
Ancestral intelligence™ honors the complexity of where we come from and how the lives of those who precede us inform the ways we move through the world.
We learn ways of protecting ourselves around events we never witnessed, stay loyal to people or histories we may barely know, and sometimes find ourselves carrying grief that has been moving through a family for much longer than we have been alive.
Therapists sometimes name this generational trauma or intergenerational trauma. In the constellation room, we simply meet it as something that belongs to the system and is asking to be seen.
We may be holding a role we stepped into early and never put down. And we may find patterns that makes very little sense until we look beyond our own story.
These things rarely announce themselves as inherited, which is part of what makes them so persistent.
We recognize them instead in the arguments we keep having, the decisions we keep delaying, the confusion that overcomes us, or the hard work that doesn't quite yield what we intended.
The blessings
Inheritance holds more than what burdens or stagnates our existence.
We also inherit strengths, ways of knowing, and capacities forged by people who survived things we can barely imagine. We inherit LOVE — love that finds its way through imperfect people. Some of the gifts can be hard to receive, especially when so much of our attention has gone toward what hurt, what was missing, or what needed repair.
These two days give us time to look at what is actually behind you — the support, the love, the humor, the ground. We will begin to tell the difference between what belongs to the past, what is actually ours, what we need to put down, and what has been waiting for us to receive it.
This is where breaking generational cycles begins — not by rejecting the past, but by receiving what it has to give us and laying the rest down.
What happens in the room
A practice for making the invisible visible
Family and Systemic Constellations is an experiential practice for making visible the relationships, loyalties, exclusions, and patterns operating inside the systems we belong to.
Across the weekend, we move among several positions in the work. When one of us brings a question, we become the seeker and a constellation is built around what we are carrying. At other times, we may be asked to represent someone or something inside another person's system, perhaps a grandmother, a sibling, a family business, or a decision made two generations ago.
Representing is the part that tends to sound strangest before we have done it and becomes remarkably ordinary once we are inside it. We are placed in relation to other people in the room and asked to notice what happens in our bodies and attention, where we want to move, what becomes difficult to look at, and what changes as other people move around us.
We also spend time witnessing from our seats, and not everyone will set up a full constellation of their own. This is intentional because our systems have a way of touching one another. Someone else's constellation can stir something unexpectedly precise in our own, and we may recognize our father in a stranger's brother or encounter our own longing inside a grief that has nothing to do with our family.
Sometimes we see something more clearly because, for once, it is happening in the middle of the room rather than inside our own life.
The register of the room
The room is usually quieter than people expect, and fuller than most can imagine. The work moves at its own pace, staying with what is present right in front of us. This is the hallmark of emergent facilitation — a way of working that listens, perceives, and tracks the otherwise invisible. This way of working helps us reach insights that we might never have reached by thinking harder about our lives or our situations.
The principles underneath the work
Simple to state, considerably harder to live
01
Everyone who belongs needs a place.
02
What has happened needs to be acknowledged.
03
Giving and receiving need some possibility of reciprocity.
04
Responsibility needs to stay with the people it belongs to.
When people, losses, or parts of a family's history have been excluded or left unresolved, later members of the system can find themselves responding to that history without knowing why.
We are not here to reconstruct the past, diagnose our ancestors, or decide who was right. We are paying attention to how the past may still be organized inside the present and to what becomes possible when more of the system can be seen. What emerges may be grief or release, but it can just as easily be strength, connection, or access to something valuable that had been difficult to receive while so much else in the system was asking for attention.
The two days
How the weekend unfolds
Day One
Saturday, October 10
1:00–6:00 pm EST
We begin by arriving in our bodies, in the room, and in relationship with each other. Through grounding and embodied practices, you start noticing what becomes available when some of your attention moves out of analysis and into direct experience.
I will introduce the principles behind the work, and then we move into object constellations, sensing practices, and work in pairs and small groups. These forms offer a gentler way in while still letting the dynamics of a system become surprisingly clear.
Saturday is also when a collection of people becomes a group. I take real time with that, because the trust and attention we build together are part of what makes Sunday possible.
Day Two
Sunday, October 11
1:00–6:00 pm EST
Sunday centers on full constellations with the whole group, alongside smaller practices and object work that let us keep moving between our own experience and what we encounter in the work of others.
Some of us will bring questions, some will represent, some will witness, and most of us will move among all three before the weekend is over.
The pace stays spacious, with breaks, movement, snacks, and time for things to settle before we begin again. Integration is part of the work rather than something we save for the final hour.
Who this is for
You do not need to arrive with a problem already named
Most people come because they can feel something before they can explain it, whether that sits around family, partnership, parenting, work, belonging, or a decision that has been difficult to make. Sometimes it is only the sense that a pattern keeps returning, or that some part of your life is organized around forces you cannot quite see.
No previous experience with constellations or ancestral healing is required, and you do not need to be standing at a dramatic threshold in your life. What the work asks for is curiosity about what you belong to, respect for what came before you, and a genuine willingness to be affected by what you encounter.

A note on the room
“Our ancestors are real people that lived and breathed and existed here on earth. They loved, they worked, they lost, they had their own dreams and longings.”
— Tanja Meyburgh
“While working in a phenomenological manner, one must dare to listen, look, touch, smell and perceive in a way that may be outside the norm of Western linear thought… The knowing field is part of the landscape of human beings, and warmly invites every facilitator and every family to walk there with humility and competence.”
