Thank you Chris
for opening up the space for those of us who feel a little intimidated.
Even though I've contributed a couple of times I have done so with
trepidation - that old fear of 'not measuring up' rearing its ugly head. The
fact is that I am a mere beginner in constellation work, I'm still feeling
my way and am taking things slowly.
My partner Chris Millar and I attended the Congress in Würzburg and I would
love to hear more from other participants about their impressions. I would
have liked to connect with other Australians while there but my attempts at
instigating this (being a newcomer to the field) failed. Perhaps next time?
I would like to thank Angelika Schenk for her excellent translation of the
workshop 'Shamanism integrated into Family Constellations' by Robert
Langlotz and Noora Gröger.
And thanks to Dan Cohen for your thought-provoking insights on fearlessness
and Hellinger - I didn't respond at the time as I had nothing to add to what
others wrote.
The congress seems a long time ago but memories are still reverberating
through me. Daan von Kampenhout's 'Shamanism and Family Constellation'
workshop showed an Afghan refugee woman's inner conflict represented by
three different parts/voices of her self. The final image of her drawing
strength from the Afghan mountains still lingers with me.
I was most impressed by the breadth of application of constellation work -
from Astrology to Zen - and by the diversity of practitioner backgrounds. It
was an absolute inspiration and it was overwhelming at the same time.
I am grateful to Chris Walsh for inviting me to this list. It is an
invaluable tool for keeping constellation work present in my daily life and
thoughts. And I appreciate the sense of connection it gives me - living in a
country town has its advantages but meeting other constellation
practitioners is not one of them!
Love to all

Recently there have been a couple of good interactive conversations
(threads) on this chat group. One about research and the more recent one
about the Philip Adams article.
One of the good things about conversation is the feeling of being heard &
acknowledged. I am aware a lot of emails have gone unacknowledged in this
group. eg.
some time ago Chris Millar wrote a lovely summary of his experiences at the
international congress in Wurzburg
More recently Monika from Namibia wrote about some recent experiences with
her work there - How amazing!
and Jo Fenwick shared her experience of representatives silently
communicating
I know this experience of being unacknowledged can be frustrating. Your
email can feel like a message in a bottle cast out to sea. Maybe someone
reads it & enjoys it maybe not. However I feel as if I am over contributing
already, so I feel we need some others to do the acknowledging.
So there are 60 people registered in this group. I would like to encourage
the silent members to say a few words, even if it is only one line of
acknowledgement. (original contributions would also be welcome.)
I would also like to hear if anyone feels intimidated to contribute for any
reason or if there are any suggestions as to how to make it easier to
contribute.
It would be better to make these suggestions to the group but if for any
reason you feel it is more appropriate you can send suggestions directly to
me at info@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
