I want to thank all of you who have answered my call on this issue. For a few
years I have had no problems with representatives and their grounded,
well-being after a workshop. And in the last few months I have a rash of
comments about being tired and carrying energies. For whatever reason this is
up in my workshops right now. I want to create the best and most supported
experience that I can for people and your answers will help me to do this.
I would love to charge only one fee and have all of my workshop participants be
Focus Clients, unfortunately it is difficult to get 10-15 people together at a
Focus Client level of participation. I wish it was easier. And so I, like many,
break my workshops up into 2 levels of participation so that I may actually
hold the workshop.
Perhaps once FC work is more clearly recognized in the United States it will be
easier to hold a Focus Client only workshop. One can hope.
Blessings to you all, Jack

Dear Chuck,
How wonderful and refreshing to read about your training with Peter and
Jamy Faust. Regrettably it is still a most common, maybe even dominant
practice in Europe, Australia and the US to rigidly differentiate between
representatives and clients and to reinforce this separation by charging
different fees.
Best wishes,
Robert

I've never experienced a group that has different fee structures for those
wishing to set up a constellation and those that don't. In our training
with Peter and Jamy Faust it was always modeled that the healing is
communal and interconnected for all the participants, their families and
ancestors. And that healing is possible from observing or being a
representative. The field of healing possibility grows throughout the day,
and everyone is part of the process whether they are witnessing and
supporting with their attention, being a representative, or doing their own
work. In fact often a representative who is deeply affected by their
experience in the role will be the next person to work. It lets the energy
continue to flow naturally and will sometimes allow a theme to emerge
during the day, where numerous people will work on a similar issue-
siblings, incest, etc.
Re: disconnecting from a role, I think part of what helps in our groups is
holding that intention that we are all together on the day's healing
journey, and also beginning the work with a guided meditation. at the end
of this meditation we are brought to presence with all our ancestors, and
then the constellations begin. at the end of the day, we return to the
point we were at the end of the morning meditation, reconnect with our
ancestors with new awareness, and then reverse the experience to come out
of the meditation. It creates reverence and grounding for the work, and a
clear demarcation between the experience of the day and life to follow.
Also, at the beginning of each constellation the representatives are given
guidance from the facilitator on how to come into the role, and then how to
disconnect at the end of the constellation. We make it clear with a bell
when the constellation is complete, and nothing is to be added to it. We
also suggest the representatives say to themselves who they are not, then
who they are (full name), and then if they need more, to say they are the
son or daughter of father's full name, and then son or daughter of mother's
full name. And if that's not enough we suggest they debrief with one of the
facilitators. Grounding, breathing, gentle movement, walking on the earth
are always good as well.
peace,
Chuck
