I’m Irish born and educated, childhood 2-12 amongst the Ashanti in Ghana, and have spent the last 50 years of my adult life as a therapist for collective trauma, working in a diversity of indigenous communities in Eastern Canada. Elder ship in most indigenous traditions , including my own, is less about age and more about commitment to the indigenous knowledges, traditions and care for the Earth of one’s peoples and all our relations in the much more than human world. I trained formally in constellations with Francesca Mason Boring… and took workshops with elders like Albrecht Marr and Sneh because they held that consciousness.
Right now, in constellations work, there is need for that consciousness especially in North America or anywhere that forgets the indigenous roots of constellations and tries to make it solely a business rather than souly a commitment to healing the Field of human consciousness and unconsciousness. That is why this group appeals to me.

The focus is on HEALING… I agree with Gary, the strengths and resilience of our ancestors matter as much as their attempts to survive, deny and deal with their traumatic wounds

I agree that we need to celebrate the gifts and strengths of our ancestors and ourselves, not just the wounds. We need those strengths to heal the deep underlying trauma… and we can only access the fullness of those strengths once we do so. “Bringing together that which has been sepereted” matters…. whether that is peoples, understandings or parts of the self.
