Transgenerational Roots and Branches 

Ancestral Constellations is a therapeutic process that can help you to explore the deep roots of your transgenerational family tree. It is a process developed for Diaspora communities and BIPOC families, who are looking for a model based on lived lives and embedded with cultural traditions and indigenous worldviews. This way of ‘storying’ transgenerational lives of colour  speaks to our presence in contemporary Western society and our inherited ancestral past.

We need the courage to look back and reclaim what has been taken, or is missing from family life today. We can find a way to re-grow ancestral lineage in our own image, by taking steps to make a difference for future generations. It is not so much a want or a willingness, rather it is  imperative if we are to change the patterns that keep many of our families entangled with the past and constrained by relational patterns that no longer honour or serve us.

Many people look at this ancestral healing process with a sense that something is intangible, magical or ‘otherworldly’. It is neither, it is the language of ‘spirit’ that speaks to the vibrational energy between the visible and the invisible world. A healing energy that exists between the living and those who have gone before and can now be viewed as our ancestors.

In Africa and other cultures around the world, the living and the dead are in relationship. One that is remembered down the generations and part of an intuitive way of viewing the world that has been lost to many in Western cultures. We have an opportunity to revisit the past, not to try to heal everything, but to RE-Member and Re-Connect so that we can bring harmony and more balance to our family systems. We often carry within us ………..

• a deep yearning to know more about our ancestral transgenerational lines
• a desire to acknowledge and reconnect to those who went before us, our ancestors
• a willingness to RE-Member and RE-Claim older traditional ancestral practices
• a reply to the ancestral call to learn about healing from an indigenous wisdom perspective

The Ancestral Constellations workshop or gathering in community has been developed in response to the ‘ancestral call’ and is for those who are seeking a way to respond.
