Here's the dilemma I've always felt with groups where everyone pays the same
amount. If the event is held regularly, and you attend, and you are NEVER
chosen to have your constellation facilitated, and others do, including
newer ones, and others even get multiple constellations, well, it begins to
feel kinda yucky. There IS a difference between being a client and being a
representative, and it's my sense that it covers up an inequality that is
actually there in the system. I'm SUPPOSED to feel as good about never
having my constellation facilitated as I do to have one, but it doesn't
actually feel that way.
When we charge differently for clients and representatives, we are
acknowledging and including this specifically, honestly, straightforwardly.
I find the system gets less confused about what it's doing, and it's
healthier for everyone's participation.
Of course, it has its downsides, too, especially the issue of "who can
afford?" But it also has its advantages.
Anyway, that's my experience. Thoughts? ;-)

Subject: [ConstellationTalk] Re: I need Help...
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,
