Francesca Good to hear from you with a new thread. I havent had an
opportunity to represent nature itself in a constellation. I will be open
to the possibility, and perhaps something will emerge from your raising the
possibility.
What comes to mind is the life or existence that we honor in
constellations is how we manifest nature. I closed a circle recently by
noting that the two great forces that we perceive and attune to in
constellations are the system and existence. The system is the
conservative force that binds families together. Existence is the expansive
force that wants to survive and reproduce.
Someone once said, Living organisms are waters way of getting uphill. We
always honor this animating force of existence in Constellations, as it is
what we received from our parents, if nothing else.
I know it doesnt count as nature in the sense you meant it. Maybe it could
be included as one aspect of nature that is present in nearly all of our
work?
All my relations,
Dan

Subject: [ConstellationTalk] Nature Constellations
First, as always, I appreciate the postings on the chat. The
exchanges regarding aspects of "bigger than" and the discussion
regarding addiction were especially honest and helpful.
Recently, I had opportunity to speak again with one of the folks
from Sixth Sense in Service (www.sixthsenseinservice.com). This is
a group of folks from Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands who
specialize in using systems constellation for environmental issues
and include Nature in a significant way in their work. They often
work outdoors.
Having previously had a Sioux woman share with me a Rock Ceremony,
which is very similar to a constellation, definitely working within
the Knowing Field...I have used Nature as a "resource" in
constellations.
Carola Castillo, who facilitates with the influences of the Yanomami
people from Venezuela encourages clients to ground themselves with
Mother Earth.
Daan Van Kampenhout has people choose stones to represent
individuals in post-constellation rituals.
I am very interested in ways in which others are using nature in
constellations.
When Hellinger supported the acknowledgment of trans-generational
stress, and re-membered parents, extended family and ancestors back
into the family system, we became stronger.
I am wondering if it is the same with modern man's separation from
nature. Many agree that our separation from nature is only an
illusion, and that illusion makes us weak. I am wondering if Nature
is an integral part of Human Systems Constellation...even if it is
just placed as a "resource".
If this is not a conversation of interest to the group I would
appreciate any feedback sent to my private email: sboring@plix.

or francesca@allmyrela <mailto:francesca%40allmyrelationsconstellations.com>
tionsconstellations.com Please put something
in the subject line which would identify the email as not being spam.
The presence of this chat is especially appreciated up here in the
mountains.
All My Relations,
Francesca
