January 2023 - Reflections

Blessed Solar New Year!
 
With the ending of 2022, and the beginning of 2023, this time of year offers us an opportunity to review all that happened last year, with a chance to glean the wisdom gained and release all that doesn't fit into our vision of this coming year.
In your reflections of last year, what wisdom have you gleaned?

What are you releasing as you step across the threshold of another calendar year?

What intentions are you planting for yourself this year?
 
This morning I reflected on all that 2022 held for me as the sun rose over the expanse of the Delaware River.  I experienced this past year as a time of Unfolding and Emerging. Just as a flower opens, a butterfly emerges or a snake sheds it's skin, last year was filled with opportunities to release some of my outdated beliefs stemming from childhood. With the strict quarantining requirements relaxing mid-year, as well some deep work around my traumatic birth story, and childhood experiences in a fundamentalist religious organization, I've felt myself slowly unfold in a way that offers many new possibilities for the coming year.

There are several new and exciting things to share about this coming year!
 
Until the end of this month, I am offering a special deal on my Initial Family History Research Package.  This package includes: 

• 4 hours of genealogical research
• A private family tree on Ancestry.com (no subscription required)
• All photos and documents found during the research (pdf or jpg format)
• Printed descendent and ancestor group sheets

Beginning in February, I will be offering work on specific sets of Core Beliefs in my individual sessions. These are beliefs that we typically hold about ourselves, others, and the world. Such as "I am unlovable," "I am unworthy," or "I am helpless."  Some core beliefs foster a positive relationship to ourselves and others, but many times they can interfere with our relatedness causing difficulty in connection instead. These core beliefs often begin in childhood but can also originate in our ancestral lineage with our parents and grandparents.  Beliefs and ways of thinking often helped our ancestors survive in times of trauma. When these patterns are not explored though, they can unknowingly be passed down epigenetically to future generations. If you would like to explore your core beliefs further contact me for more  information.
 
In March, senior facilitator, Andrea Bosbach Largent and I will be beginning an 18-month Systemic Constellation Facilitator Training here on the East Coast of the United States in Maryland. This training is open to all who may be interested.  There are a few more spots open so if you are interested, please reach out or register for the free info session coming up this week, on Wednesday, January 4th at 10:00 am EST.
 
Last August I co-facilitated a constellation workshop where we explored birth and birth trauma.  Birth trauma is commonplace in our world that it’s often accepted as ‘normal’. Yet it’s not normal and can play a part in moving forward successfully in our lives. The workshop was a great success and this year, we've decided to offer it internationally in July in one of the countries of my ancestors, as a four-day Constellation Retreat in Ireland on Birth.
