SUMMARY:Discover New Solutions to Your Persistent Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Do you have persistent challenges in your personal life\, relationships\, or work that just won’t resolve? \nOur Monthly Constellation Circle provide a unique approach to address issues that traditional methods can’t solve. Join us to gain new insights with the support of a caring community. \nWhat is Constellation Work? \nConstellation is a solution-focused approach that reveals hidden patterns affecting your life. \nBy spatially mapping the elements of your situation\, we make visible what’s been invisible – allowing new solutions to emerge naturally. \nInstead of just talking about problems\, we experience them differently\, exploring the implicit knowledge that your system holds rather than just what’s on the surface. \nWho is this for? \n\nAnyone experiencing recurring patterns they can’t break\nPeople facing relationship challenges that conventional approaches haven’t resolved\nIndividuals seeking deeper insight into personal\, family\, or work dynamics\nHealth and money issues\nThose curious about systemic approaches to problem-solving\nBoth newcomers and experienced participants welcome\n\nWhat you’ll experience \n\nNew Perspective: See your situation from outside yourself\nHidden Connections (intergenerational): Discover influences you weren’t aware of\nEmotional Shift: Feel differently about longstanding issues\nForward Movement: Find pathways that weren’t previously visible\nCommunity Support: Work through challenges with others who care\n\nHow it works \n\nAn experienced facilitator guides the entire process\nWe select 2-3 issues to work with during each session\nPeople volunteer to represent elements of the issue being explored\nThe representatives follow their intuitive sense of the system\nThe process reveals hidden dynamics and potential resolutions\nWe reflect on insights and integration\n\nNote: You are not guaranteed to have your specific issue worked on when you attend\, but everyone benefits from the work processed\, whether as an issue holder or representative. \nWhat others have experienced \n“I’d been stuck in the same career pattern for years. The constellation showed me exactly how I was recreating my father’s story without realizing it. One session gave me more insight than years of traditional therapy.” —Sahar\, 41 \n“My chronic health issues had doctors stumped. Through constellation work\, I saw how my body was carrying unresolved family trauma. Since working with this awareness\, my symptoms have decreased dramatically for the first time in a decade.” —Elena\, 36 \n“The relationship constellation revealed why my partnerships always followed the same painful pattern. Seeing it mapped out in space was like finally getting the missing piece of a puzzle. I’m now in the healthiest relationship of my life.” —David\, 32 \n“I came as a representative with no expectations and was amazed by what I experienced. Not only did I help someone else’s process\, but I gained profound insights into my own family dynamics just by participating.” —Sarah\, 45 \nJoin our next circle \nDate: 14/06/2025\nTime: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM\nLocation: Online\nInvestment: Issue Holder: £55\, Representative: £35 \nWhen registering\, please indicate: \n\nIf you wish to bring an issue or attend as a representative\nIf bringing up an issue\, a brief description of your concern\n\nLimited to 8 participants per session – early registration recommended \nFacilitated by Amel Murphy\, a certified constellation practitioner with over 20 years of experience in group and individual process facilitation \n\n \n

SUMMARY:Fifth Gate of Grief: Ancestral Grief
DESCRIPTION:Dear one\, \nHave you ever felt a sadness that seems bigger than your own life? A heaviness that echoes through time? Welcome to the Fifth Gate of Grief: Ancestral Grief. \nThis gate invites us to explore the sorrow that flows through our family lines\, passed down through generations like an invisible inheritance. It’s the pain of those who came before us – their unresolved traumas\, unfulfilled dreams\, and untold stories. \nImagine for a moment the little child within you\, carrying not just your own hurts\, but also the weight of your parents’ struggles\, your grandparents’ losses\, and the collective hardships of your ancestors. It’s a lot for those small shoulders\, isn’t it? \nBut here’s the beautiful truth: by acknowledging this ancestral grief\, we begin to heal not just ourselves\, but our entire lineage. We become the bridge between past and future\, transforming old pain into new possibilities. \nThis gate asks us to listen deeply – to the whispers of our ancestors\, to the wisdom in our bones\, to the stories written in our very DNA. It’s about honoring where we come from\, while choosing what we carry forward. \nYou might feel this grief as: \n\nA sense of displacement or not belonging\nRecurring family patterns that you can’t explain\nEmotions or fears that feel bigger than your own experiences\nA calling to explore your family history or cultural roots\n\nRemember\, this journey isn’t about blame. It’s about understanding\, compassion\, and reclaiming the gifts that have been lost along the way. \nAs you stand before this gate\, know that you’re not alone. Your ancestors stand with you\, ready to offer their strength and wisdom. And your future descendants are cheering you on\, grateful for the healing you’re initiating. \nSo\, dear one\, are you ready to step through? To tend to that inner child and the long line of inner children behind them? To weave a new story of belonging and wholeness? \nTake a deep breath. Feel the earth beneath your feet. You have everything you need for this journey. And as you heal\, you become a healing presence for your entire ancestral line. \nWelcome to the Fifth Gate. Your ancestors have been waiting for you.

SUMMARY:Fourth Gate of Grief: What we Expected and did not receive
DESCRIPTION:Dear one\, let’s journey together through a tender landscape of the heart. This is an invitation to explore the Fourth Gate of Grief\, a realm where we acknowledge the unmet longings of our lives. \nThink back to your childhood. Remember the hopes and dreams you held\, the love and nurturing you craved. Now\, gently notice the spaces where life fell short of those expectations. This gate opens to the grief of what should have been but wasn’t – the loving parent\, the safe home\, the supportive community\, or the opportunities that never came. \nThis isn’t about blame. It’s about honoring the child within who still yearns for what was missing. That child is still a part of you\, carrying those unfulfilled needs. By acknowledging this grief\, we begin to tend to those long-neglected parts of ourselves. \nYou might feel a heaviness in your chest or a lump in your throat as you read this. That’s okay. These feelings are signposts\, guiding us to the places that need our loving attention. \nAs we step through this gate\, we learn to cradle our younger selves with compassion. We whisper to that inner child\, “I see you. I hear you. Your longings were valid.” This act of self-love begins to fill the empty spaces left by unmet needs. \nRemember\, this journey isn’t about dwelling in the past. It’s about freeing ourselves from old pain so we can live more fully in the present. By grieving what we didn’t receive\, we open ourselves to receiving the goodness life offers now. \nYou’re not alone in this. Countless others walk this path\, each with their own unmet expectations. In recognizing this shared human experience\, we find connection and healing. \nSo\, dear one\, are you ready to open this gate? To hold space for the grief of what should have been? Your inner child is waiting\, longing to be heard and held. This is your invitation to listen\, to grieve\, and to begin healing those ancient wounds. \nTake a deep breath. Feel your feet on the ground. You are safe\, you are held\, and you are ready to explore this tender territory of the heart.

SUMMARY:Third Gate of Grief: The Sorrows of the world
DESCRIPTION:Dear one\, \n\n\nThere’s a world of sorrow out there\, isn’t there? The melting glaciers\, the dying forests\, the polluted oceans. Sometimes it feels like too much to bear. But what if I told you that your heartbreaking for the world is not just normal – it’s necessary? \nWelcome to the Third Gate of Grief: The Sorrows of the World. \nThis gate invites us to feel the pain of our planet\, our communities\, and all living beings. It’s about recognizing that we’re not separate from the world around us. Your grief for the earth is a testament to your love\, your connection\, your belonging. \nRemember when you were little\, and you cried over a hurt animal or a fallen tree? That innocent\, open-hearted child is still within you. This gate asks us to reconnect with that part of ourselves – the part that feels deeply and loves without hesitation. \nIt’s okay if this feels overwhelming. Take a deep breath. You’re safe here. \nFeeling the sorrows of the world doesn’t mean you have to fix everything. It’s about being present\, bearing witness. It’s about honoring the pain and letting it move through you. Like rain falling on parched earth\, this grief can nourish your soul and spark compassion. \nAs you step into this gate\, you might feel: \n\nA deep ache for the beauty being lost\nAnger at the destruction you see\nHelplessness in the face of big problems\nA renewed sense of connection to all life\n\nAll of these feelings are welcome. They’re signs of your humanity\, your empathy\, your aliveness. \nBy embracing this grief\, you’re not just healing yourself – you’re participating in the healing of the world. Your tears are a form of activism. Your open heart is a revolutionary act in a world that often turns away. \nSo\, dear one\, I invite you to step gently into this gate. Feel the sorrow\, yes\, but also the love that underlies it. Let it remind you of your place in the great web of life. Let it inspire you to live with more reverence\, more care\, more joy in the precious moments we have. \nYou’re not alone in this. We’re all in it together\, held in the great heart of the world. \nAre you ready to open your heart to the sorrows – and the beauty – of our world?

SUMMARY:Second Gate of Grief: The Places that Have not known Love
DESCRIPTION:Dear one\, \nToday\, we’re opening the door to a tender place within you – the second Gate of Grief that Francis Weller calls “The Places That Have Not Known Love.” Take a deep breath. You’re safe here. \nImagine a child – perhaps it’s you – standing in a room. Parts of this child glow brightly\, cherished and celebrated. But there are shadows too\, corners where the light doesn’t reach. These are the parts of you that learned to hide\, the pieces deemed unacceptable or unlovable. \nWe all have these places. They’re born from moments when we needed love but received criticism\, when we reached out but were pushed away\, when we shined brightly but were told to dim our light. These experiences taught us to tuck away parts of ourselves\, believing they were too much\, too little\, or simply wrong. \nThese unloved places aren’t flaws – they’re wounded pieces of your beautiful\, complex self. They’ve been waiting patiently\, hoping that one day\, someone would see them\, accept them\, love them. That someone is you. \nAs you stand at this gate\, you might feel a mix of fear and longing. It’s okay. Those feelings are welcome here. This journey is about bringing gentle awareness to these neglected parts of yourself. It’s about saying\, “I see you. You matter. You belong.” \nGrieving for these unloved places isn’t about dwelling in sadness. It’s a profound act of self-love. It’s reclaiming the wholeness that has always been your birthright. As you tend to these wounds with compassion\, you create space for new life\, new joy\, new possibilities. \nRemember\, you don’t have to do this alone. Reach out to trusted friends\, a therapist\, or a support group. Sometimes\, the simple act of sharing these hidden parts can begin the healing. \nSo\, dear one\, are you ready to meet yourself with open arms? To hold space for all that you are? The journey through this gate may not always be easy\, but on the other side lies a more integrated\, authentic you – fully seen\, fully embraced\, fully alive. \nTake my hand. Let’s step through this gate together\, with courage\, compassion\, and love. \nYou are worthy of love\, all of you. Always have been\, always will be.

SUMMARY:First Gate of Grief: Everything you love\, you will loose
DESCRIPTION:Dear Friend\, \nHave you ever loved deeply and lost? Whether it’s a person\, a pet\, a place\, or a dream\, loss is an inevitable part of life. Yet in our society\, we often struggle to honor our grief fully. \nWe invite you to join us for a special gathering to explore the First Gate of Grief: “Everything you love\, you will lose.” This wisdom\, shared by Francis Weller\, reminds us that loss is not a failure\, but a natural part of loving deeply. \nIn this circle\, we create a safe\, loving space to: \n\nHonor your unique losses\, big and small\nShare stories of love and remembrance\nExpress grief in ways that feel right for you\nConnect with others who understand\nDiscover the healing power of communal grieving\n\nThis is not about “getting over” your loss\, but about giving your grief the attention and care it deserves. Through gentle rituals\, sharing\, and silent reflection\, we’ll witness each other’s journeys with compassion and understanding. \nYou don’t need any special skills or knowledge – just an open heart and a willingness to be present with your grief. Whether your loss is fresh or from long ago\, all are welcome. \nIn this circle\, there’s no right or wrong way to grieve. Tears\, laughter\, anger\, numbness – all expressions are honored. We believe that by tending to our grief together\, we can find not just healing\, but also a deeper appreciation for the preciousness of life and love. \nJoin us in this sacred space of remembrance and renewal. Let’s walk this path of grief and love together\, supporting each other every step of the way.

SUMMARY:Grief Medicine Circle: Tending to Our Broken Heart
DESCRIPTION:“The heart that breaks open can contain the whole universe.” – Joanna Macy \nThe last few years have been intense. Growing our capacity to grieve well is essential for both our personal and communal well-being; it is essential to keeping our hearts open and permeable to beauty and resilient to despair. \nGrief is an integral part of life that requires our attention if we want to be fully available to life. In our culture\, however\, we have forgotten how to share our grief with one another. In addition to our personal losses\, given the emergent climate crisis and its impacts – the extinction of species\, the COVID pandemic\, and the unrest and turmoil within human societies – the burden of grief that we are carrying as individuals can begin to feel unbearable. There are very few spaces where we are invited to experience and express this complex grief in the community. \nRobin Wall Kimmerer writes\, “If grief can be a doorway to love\, then let us all weep for the world we are breaking apart so we can love it back to wholeness again.” \nIn the Five (05) Bi-Monthly circles\, we will experience Francis Weller’s “Five Gates of Grief” to connect participants to their distinct and multifaceted experiences of grief and reconnect them to the life force that wants to be birthed through it. \n“The sheer weight of these personal and collective sorrows is enough to crush our hearts\, forcing us to turn away and find solace in anaesthesia and distraction. When we come together\, however\, and share these stories of sorrow in grief rituals\, something begins to change. When our sorrows are witnessed and held within a community of compassion\, grief can surprisingly turn to joy\, to a love emboldened for all that surrounds us. Love and loss have been eternally entwined. To acknowledge our grief is to free our love to fall outwards into the waiting world. Something is stirring in the depths of the times. Our collective denial appears to be cracking. We can no longer deny the fact that the world is radically changing. We sense in our bones the breakdowns occurring and\, along with it\, our hearts feel weighted with grief. It may be our shared sorrows\, stirred by our love of this singular\, irreplaceable planet\, that will ultimately activate our communal commitment to respond to the rampant denigration of the world”. Francis Weller \nWe invite you to join this restorative and sacred space where grief is welcomed and can move through\, making beauty and birthing profound compassion as it does.
