Re-Weaving the Family Myth
A Family Constellation Experience
All members of a family system are deeply connected over many generations.
This bond springs from a love that provides strength and a sense
of belonging. The
bond connects us to a family conscience that wants us to recognize all members
of our family, including those who have been outcast, dishonored, or forgotten.
Through a subconsious process, atonement for ancestral misfortunes can take
place in one’s life. Ancestral suffering can emerge also in your life
and manifests itself in ways like illness and destructive relationship patterns. For introductory writings about this work, click at this reading list, or you can also listen here to an interview by Debbie Josendale, publisher of the Bay Area Women's Journal, on the topic Systemic Family Constellations: Healing Ourselves by Healing Our Past, broadcasted on February 22, 2011.

Before signing-up for a constellation, I recommend to sign-up for one day as “representative” and
get a first-hand exposure to the dynamics that unfold in ancestral
lineage interactivity. Come with a friend or by yourself
-- we work in a small-group setting of approximately twelve participants.
This experience will make you aware of additional avenues to solve
issues in your personal life, and you may want to consider exploring
such solutions in a personal constellation at a later workshop. In an earlier issue of Spirituality & Health, Lousie Danielle Palmer has written a helpful summary of her experience with family constellation work (view online, save or print as pdf file). See also this article by Myra Nissen.
