This is true 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.

Connecting to our ancestors and lineages means connecting with all these aspects of life. When we do, we remember the sufferings and strength of those who came before, and we are resourced to live with commitment, courage and creativity.

Systemic Constellations Work helps us do this. It is about the alignments and arrangements in our larger family and communal stories, similar to the web of relationship we find in all ecosystems, including deserts. All of us are the recipients of many generations of collective experiences, just like a desert inherits millennia of unfolding geological, meteorological, plant, animal, and human processes. The practice of Constellations explores how the more immediate situations in our lives fit into those broad patterns that precede our individual lives, just like we see the results of geological history in the layers we see before us now in cliffs, arroyos, and bosques.

I am truly excited and deeply honored to be leading Constellations with these amazing humans, Francesca Mason Boring, Sneh Victoria Schnabel and Leslie Nipps, the leader and organizer of this amazing gathering.
