Full registration and payment details will be provided upon enquiry. Please contact Larry Honig to register your kiritaki.
This group workshop is a combination of two modalities. Family Constellations are a method for exploring and healing ancestral trauma. Current life patterns such as histories of abuse and difficulties in past and current relationships can have their roots in unresolved trauma or situations from both known and unknown ancestors. This information is believed to be carried physiological in one’s genes as well as connections we have to the field of consciousness present and past.
This workshop will use group processes in which participants are assisted by other members of the group to represent these elements in their life and the people both past and present whose unresolved stories and patterns are affecting the present. Resolution can clear blocks to assist therapeutic growth. Equine therapy will use horses as part of the group assisting by providing a mirror to emotional states, offering information about the situation and helping participants to gain greater mastery over their own emotional states. Horses are highly attuned to our emotional states and this feedback provides a tangible and kinesthetic representation that goes beyond words or story.
