I am writing about a topic that’s a little difficult.
In the constellation ethos, exclusion is understood, generally, to be a source of entanglements.
One of the things I have really valued about the constellation community itself is the degree of inclusiveness that is widely exhibited. So many different facilitators, with their different styles, yet there seems to be a general ability to get along. This open, field-oriented inclusiveness is something I find a bit special, and sets the constellation community apart in my experience.
However, recently I was dismayed to find an unmistakable example of exclusion on the peer level in one area of the constellation community. This experience was rapidly and clearly confirmed, and the gate to dialogue was shut down completely.
Now, in the realm of human experience, people engage in all sorts of behaviours, for their own reasons, and obviously influenced by their own field. But I thought to raise it, as perhaps its a difficult thing to discuss exclusionary behaviour within our own community, by people who hold certain positions, in roles of some power and influence.
I certainly felt impacted by it, and somewhat powerless in the face being excluded without any possibility of discussion.
I am interested in other’s reflections on this issue. I guess that given the high valance given to the topic, somewhere it will form a disowned shadow.

Rest in natural great peacethis exhausted mind
beaten helplessly by
karma and neurotic thought
like the relentless fury
of the pounding waves
In the infinite ocean
of samsara.
rest in natural great peace.
