Convivium Constellations...

Family Constellations in Northern New Mexico and Internationally

What is “Convivium” About?

We hold invisibly in our hearts the traumas that have preceded us, leading to enormous suffering for ourselves.

There is a better way to honor all the suffering that has taken place and continues to take place, so that we can thrive and serve all beings.

And, the better way has something to do with the fact that we are all beloved members of our ancestral lineages and belong to everything that is.

You’ve probably come here for one of two reasons:

Learning more about the magic of Family & Systemic Constellations work
Personal healing for you or your family

Convivium —
literally, “living together”

Then: A Roman feast where people gathered to debate, enjoy, connect and discover.

Today: A gathering of adventurers who connect with each other, our ancestors and our larger social systems through the Constellations for healing, discovery and growth.

Welcome! You’re in the right place.

“The Ocean Knows Better” – Medicine for Grief

I received a gift today, as I wandered the wilds of the internet. 🙂 It’s about those deep-seated griefs and losses that have a hold of our heart, and where relief for them might lie. The gift shows up in an interview between Anderson Cooper — who has been exploring the topic of grief with […]

Flow of Water, Flow of Love…

Water is life. This is especially understood in the desert, where generations of ancestral knowledge insure the ability to discover, conserve, share, and respect the flow of water. It represents birth, re-birth, sustenance, abundance, and even death (as we have seen in recent USA hurricanes). Connecting to our ancestors and lineages means connecting with all […]

Belonging AND Independence: Solving the Problem of “My Crazy Family”

Why pursue constellation training, or consider having a constellation? One reason: the possibility of letting go of the problem of our “crazy families.” Many of us seek a solution in separation. Often this is necessary and life-saving. And, after a while, even if we are completely separate from our families, we often find the patterns […]

Accidents of Fate & Accepting Life

If you’ve been around constellation work long enough, you’ve heard how important it is to “take your mother and your father.” This can sound understandably worrisome to many of us with parents who weren’t safe for us. So, what does it really mean? The accidents of fate that surround our birth are innumerable. The fact […]

On Not Working Harder: Healing thru Naming, Including, & Honoring

People with childhood trauma who come for help usually turn out to have been working very, very hard on their healing. It’s entered our conventional language: “Have you been doing the work?” I’ve noticed lately that it is sometimes the new way blame: “They haven’t been doing their work!” A client will sometimes say “I […]

Forgiveness is Hard: A Better Way to Move Forward

Healing — like learning to walk or to play an instrument– is a developmental process. It is rarely all-at-once. And it’s also rarely linear, with ups and downs that can make it hard to believe we’re getting anywhere at all. No single step in healing is the final one. This can be a bit discouraging! […]
