Consolidating Change – End of Early-bird Enrollment draws near

There are still a couple of places available for Representatives at the Early bird price.

What IS a Representative in the realm of Family Constellations?

Family Constellations, describes a process of exploring and gaining insight into our life’s challenges by way of understanding the hidden dynamics of family patterns and the way they effect us.  Exploring our personal dynamics is greatly aided when, working in a group, we are able to nominate someone to ‘represent’ a particular person or challenge. When you accept the role of representative, you gain access to the information that is held by the energy of the person or challenge in question. This embodiment enables a conversation and added awareness of the often hidden or tangled strands of the family dynamic. These hidden strands in our family of origin can then find themselves expressed by challenges that we face in our own lives.

A representative is an invaluable aid in articulating unconscious aspects of our internal dynamics.

Why would I choose to do this as opposed to being an Issue Holder?

The very act of participation, by association, will have a direct affect on your own process. In effect, you can ‘piggy-back’ on the central issue holder’s inquiry. MAGIC!

Choosing to act as a Representative is first and foremost, a service to the entire ‘system’. Without fail, when you are chosen to act as representative in another person’s enquiry,  you will have conscious or unconscious links to the question at hand.

Come along and join us, for healing and for growth!

Consolidating Change

Not just any Constellation Workshop!

Following a successful two-day event this past summer, I am delighted to announce another upcoming collaboration with Elaine R Harris and myself.

In this one-day workshop, Elaine and I will be combining our skills to create a unique and exciting opportunity to marry Constellation work with Homoeopathy in support of the constellation process.

Homoeopathic remedies offer grounding to the issue holder as they encounter new awarenesses, enabling them to consolidate their experience and take it forward in a sustainable way.

About The Event

Saturday 9th of November – 9:40am for 10am start to 5:30pm 

Be@One Wellbeing Centre 1, Audley Road, Saffron Walden, Essex, CB11 4JB

Bring your Personal or Business Issues to be Constellated in a powerful workshop

with Elaine R Harris and Marlow Purves.

BREAKING PATTERNS – CHANGING BEHAVIOUR

Sometimes we have recurring patterns in our life, either personal or professional, where nothing we do seems to make a change and we are left wondering where we are ‘going wrong?’ We feel we ‘should’ be able to fix whatever it is at issue and still the solution continues to evade us, regardless of what we try to do or how hard we ‘search’ for the answer.

The Family and Business Constellations process explores these kinds of life challenges in a different way – Using a wider, more systemic lens, it looks at the individual or business as part of a greater system of family, culture, environment and conscience, rather than seeing it as something that functions as a purely independent unit.

The Question/Issue Holder – the one who wishes to take a deeper look into their personal or organisational dilemma. There is often more than one Question Holder in each group and thus a Question Holder may also act as a Representative in another’s Constellation.

The Representatives or Resources – the ones who offer themselves in service of the Field of the Question Holder, to represent people or elements within the Question Holder’s system. Taking part in other people’s constellations as a Representative is entirely optional and you are not obliged to accept the invitation when asked. It must be noted though, that it is very common that another’s work can touch you as deeply as your own, and even just being a witness to another’s constellation can be a powerful experience…..

EXPANDING CAPACITY FOR LIFE

For more information please contact Elaine at elaine_harris852@msn.com

Question holder places are limited to 10 so if you would like your Question Constellated please book early to avoid disappointment.

Total places are limited to 12, so plenty of room if you want to come along and be a Representative – you can often get just as much out of doing that as you can from being a Question Holder.

Breaking New Ground

 

“Many workshops claim they are transformative. This one really, truly is!” Christine. 

Breaking New Ground is a courageous exploration of your soul’s unfolding facilitated by Sue Smith and Marlow PurvesExplore your unfinished business, how it affects you, and how to heal old and new trauma.

 
Those who’ve already attended the course say:
 “By far the most powerful workshop I have ever attended…I was amazed at Sue’s insight, intuition, energy and her ability to read energy and pick up exactly what was going on for all of us [without us saying a word]… she made it safe to go deep …” Caroline 
“… friends were in awe of the experience I had. I wish I could do it all over again!” Camilla
 “Sue held a very safe environment not only with compassion but tremendous humour in the right places.” Liz
Lucie wrote – “It was truly a gift.”
Selena wrote – “ I just want to say thank you! Thank you for such an amazing experience, life changing!”
Sue is a homeopath, a healer and a teacher of energy work. She brings extraordinary warmth, compassion and insight to her work with groups, creating and holding a safe space in which people can gently explore, heal and grow.
 
A pivotal life experience awakened  and opened her awareness to her  own energetic body and it’s many subtleties. She developed an acute sensitivity to others and an ability to listen deeply, to read the truth in energy and to actively respond to what’s alive in the moment. Since this time Sue has been steeped in Chakra work, in both Eastern and Western wisdom traditions. 
A key component of her work is experiential – an invitation to come out of the head and into embodied knowing, self-trust and transformation freeing you of outdated habits and patterns that no longer serve. 
Marlow is an homeopath, healer and astrologer. With a background in movement, meditation and Shamanic journeying, she synthesizes a variety of disciplines and tools to create sacred space.
Marlow brings 30 years of experience working with individuals and groups and has a remarkable ability to perceive underlying patterns and bring them to the light.  Marlow’s natural ability to lead others in light-hearted investigation allows magic to occur, creating space for transformation and healing of old wounds and restoring the flow of energy. 
The path that unfolds is unique for each person, Sue and Marlow tend them with a synthesis of playful and grounded enquiry.
This event is being hosted by The Homeopathy College, but it is a stand-alone workshop and requires no homeopathic leanings.
 
If you’re open, curious, ready to heal old wounds and move your life forward, join us on October 15/16 2016 for a weekend to remember.
Saturday/Sunday 15/16 October 2016
Saturday/Sunday 10/11 December 2016

Brigid’s Belly is Buckling!

There’s fire within and once again the stirring of the season is making the yearning for life known to us all. Brigid is tending the forge and though the crust is cool and the winds can be bitter, the life within is palpable.

New shoots, true signs that our season of slumber is drawing to a close; dark nights are receding and we are being coaxed into the light. Dreams hover ever more closely to the surface and we are gently ushered into wakefulness – potent and potential in the coming year.

It feels different than before, this year feels more pliable somehow, more elastic, promising change and growth in unexpected ways. Every new year has it’s unique promise and this one speaks to a sense of movement, quickening.

What withered husks must be shed in order for the fires of new life and inspiration to shine forth? We are urged now to begin those tentative steps toward the realization of un-manifest dreams.

Brigid guides us surely as she holds sway over the arts of healing, poetry and smith craft. Letting go of and surrendering that which no longer serves us, reveals a new level of vulnerability and of strength. It is a true kind of healing that reaches beyond mere restoration, moving us forward fearlessly into new versions of ourselves; a whole-r sense of who we are. The poet, echoing the voice of the mystic, seeing and revealing what is to become before it has found its final form. The words you choose conjure your next creation into being and you are being urged to listen muse and be inspired. Conversations with Spirit find their expression in many forms and most surely by the pen of the poet. What whispering have you been privy to in your wintery repose?

And now the final piece (they always come in threes!) The forge is fired and the hammer is calling for your hand… you are entering ‘the fashioning time’, wielding, wrestling, gripping and hammering the material of life into it’s new rightful expression.

Each of us is charged to renew our resolve, stir from our sleep and listen heart-fully to the yearnings of a creative spirit. It is no small thing to pledge yourself to creation, it will call upon all your resources and yes, you will  be changed!

Blessed Imbolc, may the fires burn brightly and light your way!New shoots

Imbolc – Exquisite Paradox

snowdrop shootsThe days are DEFINITELY longer and the earth is just beginning to emit her irresistible fragrance, JUST. Snow drops are appearing and gardeners’ fingers are itching and turning to trays of seedling hope in anticipation of a warming soil and softening in the fields. On this sunny day I look around and see evidence of the sun’s fire drawing forth the abundance of a sleeping earth. Hope surfaces, tentatively, tenderly. It is truly an exquisite time of year and in ourselves, new-born time.

All this fiery energy holds us in its thrall because of it’s juxtaposition to the vulnerability of newly emerging life. This is animal time, where an appetite for life is making itself felt in our deepest selves. Raw, not wholly formed; wet with the fluids of previous hidden existence, we are being called to show ourselves. We are invited by Nature herself to rise in consciousness and make a bid for life.

Commitment time, Imbolc is a dedication and initiation festival. Making a commitment is a radical act of courage and of hope. It must be tended with care, protection and loving nurture; a dangerous undertaking, worthy and requiring support. Commitment has had a bit of a bad rap in the past, alluding to constraint, bonds and limitations and yet it provides the vessel from which to grow, a stable and faithful promise to protect new life, nurture it and bear witness to its unique creations.

Brigid, the Goddess of Poetry, Smith-craft and Healing sings the heart’s song, creates the containment of a manifest vessel and heals the wounds found on the path of emergence. Feel the fire and tend your vessel with loving kindness, there is a promise of oh-so-sweet bud and flower and fruit for the faithful.
