BECOMING GOOD ANCESTORS

We are all ancestors for the future, but how can we become Good Ancestors?

What does it mean to live in such a way? The future begins here and now. Even though we may often need to focus on personal concerns, it is also possible to open to a long-term perspective of life. How we live, and the choices we make, can create a difference for generations to come, just as ancestors made much possible for us. We are a link between the past and the future. It is here in the present that we plant seeds that continue to be harvested throughout the ages.

Through practical and experiential exercises, this course will explore how to contribute to the weave we are all part of, and that continues to be created. One does not need to have physical children to engage with this work. We can all ask ourselves what world we want to hand over to the future? What good wishes and wisdom we wish to bestow on those yet to come? How we can create fertile soil, and sow seeds of love and support to help nourish future generations, while honouring those who have gone before?

When we connect to ancestors that wish us well, we can find a rich source of wisdom. We can discover more if the gifts that we carry and how to share them. We can learn how to receive responsibility with joy and what it means to take our place in the flow of Life.

Ancient ones are waiting to teach us. Unborn ones look to us for guidance.

This online workshop offers constellation work from an animistic and ceremonial perspective. The work grows out of systemic family constellation, which explores how parts of a whole affect each other within a conscious “knowing field”. Just like shamanic and animistic work, it reveals the invisible web of how things are interrelated. In ceremony, this “field” can be seen as a sacred space that opens and allows healing power to move. The spiritual roots of constellation work are connected to indigenous ceremony and there is much to learn when we approach it in a Spirit inspired way.

Family constellations often focus on personal issues. In a way they can be seen as family-wide soul retrievals, often reaching back through generations and working with ancestors to heal old patterns. Like in shamanic healing practices, they can release stuck energy, escort souls of the dead and heal through restoring power to its rightful place.

In Animistic Constellations we widen the field to include animals, plants, elements and Spirits. The whole world is welcomed as part of the system we belong to, and we learn to listen to many voices. By acknowledging that human beings are a part of Life on Earth and not separate or outside of it, we begin to rebuild better relationships. Through experiencing our place in the Web of Life, we can connect to who we are in a bigger perspective and come to feel more Home.

We can re-learn what it means to step through Time and listen to Voices beyond our day. We can experience how it is to be related and expand our concept of family. When we live in Harmony, what we do for ourselves, we also do for the whole. Untangling blocked energy helps to ensure that Life can flow through the web in a vibrant natural way – from the past through the present and into the future.

*** This is a highly experiential and practical course. Please be aware that it is not a course in how to facilitate. By taking part in both individual and shared group constellations, participants will experience the power and possibility of this work. By moving through different kinds of exercises, we can learn and notice how it affects us and creates change in our own lives and the world. It is open to all. No previous training is needed.

The workshop is held in English with Zara Waldeback https://www.shamanism.dk/about-zara and Caroline Wingolf http://www.talkingtree.se/eng/
