HOW DO YOU WANT TO BE LOVED?
This seminar grew out of the question above: How Do You Want To Be Loved?
When I would ask this question of clients, there often followed a pause, a slight shutter in the body, a deep sigh, and sometimes tears. I am interested in that pause, the body response, the exquisite raw emotion that said, "See me."
I want to know what happens in the gap between the asking and the answer.
The question, is an invitation, and inquiry into a deeper, perhaps necessary conversation.
Through rituals, exercises, and Constellations, we will explore the "HOW" "the WANT," and what happens in your body and heart when you allow the question to settle.
Fee: $49.00 USD
This ONLINE workshop Via ZOOM is limited to 25 participants.

ON THE EDGE OF JOY: 2023 BERKSHIRE RETREAT
To paraphrase Anthony de Mello,
"If you could let go of your conflicts, your anxieties, your tensions, your pressures, your emptiness, your loneliness, your despair, your depression,
your heartache, the entanglements--if you could let go of all that, stop haunting the past, and wishing you had different parents, what would you have? Sheer, undiluted, astonishing joy."
"To allow ourselves to be joyful is to have walked through the doorway of fear and claim our place in the living conversation."
David Whyte
Constellations allow us to release family and generational entanglements, guilt, and shame and invite us to step into something new. They invite us to stop, surrender and see what matters, the soul's deepest longing.
Throughout the weekend, via Constellations, rituals, and small group exercises, we will explore what keeps us from moving forward, standing still on the edge of joy.
The Retreat is in a private home surrounded by 32 acres of woods, fields, streams, and the Berkshire Mountains. Hillsdale NY-two hours from New Haven, CT, and Manhattan. Click Here to see the house.

Testimonial:
"Heartfelt thanks for making space for a beautiful memory. I feel complete and filled up from the life-affirming weekend retreat in Hillsdale.
Although terrified, I arrived at the prospect of almost three days and three nights with strangers. I felt quickly at ease in the energy of that beautiful house and its surroundings, my fellow retreaters' openness, warmth, humor, and Bill's strong and gentle presence and expertise in creating a safe atmosphere.
The movie title for the weekend would be "Cry Eat Laugh": Everyone who wanted to be the subject of a Constellation could flow in with time, space and reverence. We were all touched deeply by the Field and the magical dynamics of Constellating, whether as subject, representative, or witness. Then we ate, family-style, around a beautiful big table: Delicious food, nature's abundance, washed down with laughter. We entertained ourselves in the evening and learned more about each other through fun parlor games. People flowed in and out of these too. The loving, respectful, and welcoming space w held throughout the weekend.
When I tuned in for my morning practice today, I noticed a distinct relaxation in my lower belly. I could access a place that my "less-than," my "votes of no confidence for me"- my neuroses..previously occupied, and find open and spacious for the first time I can remember. I feel I have come home. I am indeed grateful. "KC

"What a remarkable class yesterday! It really was an extraordinary experience with stunning results, which the colleagues and I deeply appreciated. It is a courageous, loving group, and you gave them a brilliant instrument through which they could express these qualities. You offered them an unusual opportunity to dive into that difficult-to-get-to space where the past and present are one. It was amazing to watch as they accessed and recognized the origin of their suffering, and then shifted perspective, and thereby their reality, in a way that resulted in a vivid unburdening! The circle became a liberating, pain-killing time-machine! It is a fascinating and wonderful process, and you facilitated the circles beautifully, with insight, sensitivity, and wisdom. Wow!"

It was profound personally, and has greatly impacted my work, and how I see the world. Thank you so much. You have a wonderful energy and way of connecting so quickly and un-intrusively." B

and I cannot thank you enough.
Whether you were a participant in the actual family or an observer, it was equally powerful! Thank you for holding all that space for everyone, and you do so with such ease and grace." L
