Constellation is a paradigm-shifting philosophy and process that looks beyond your current situation to the broader forces shaping your life. You were born into circumstances that were already in motion — carrying patterns, loyalties, and unfinished stories from generations before you.

As this journey begins, you’ll look at ways in which your current life is connected to events from previous generations. Using this lens, you can begin to identify the lineage of your life challenges and also hidden resources and strengths available to you..

For your first constellation, you’ll begin to reflect on your childhood “kitchen table.” What did you learn? Who was there? Who was not there, but was supposed to be? Who was there, but should not have been? What did you understand about what would ensure your belonging and your survival? These early imprints reveal the deeper patterns you’ve carried into adulthood.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• Locating the historical content of your family and how they influence you now
• The nature of your belonging, including a written inquiry practice to help you discover some of the hidden forces to which you’re still in service
• A guided practice to identify your first tickets to belonging — what position were you born into, and why?
• An inner imaging exercise to explore where you stand with your mother, fathers, country of origin, and your young self

Love has a natural “order” — where love flows easily and nourishes everyone in the system, and others where it does not. This “disorder” arises when children or descendants unconsciously take on the burdens of parents or ancestors, shifting roles and blocking the flow of life force.

This misplacement keeps us bound to the past, sacrificing our own vitality for what has already been.

Suzi will guide you to restore order by releasing these burdens, reclaiming your rightful place, and no longer waiting for others to change. Instead, you’ll take responsibility for your own future and invite others back into their rightful place, allowing you to contribute creatively to the future rather than repeating the past.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• Tracking disorder in your lineage through your genogram revealing its origins and patterns in the system
• An inner imaging practice to discover what might allow for order now
• An automatic writing exercise to gather some of the gifts that have come through your lineage
• The process of releasing burdens you can no longer carry and reclaiming the gifts you’ve put aside

Entanglements occur when you’re unconsciously connected with individuals or groups who’ve been banished from memory due to grief, shame, or other painful circumstances. You may unknowingly repeat the choices or lifestyles of those who came before, carrying the energy of missing family members through self-loathing, guilt, or atonement.

Suzi will guide you to ask: Are some of your most challenging self-images linked to these forgotten ones?

As you look back, you can begin to remember those who were excluded — parents, grandparents, siblings, or great-grandparents who moved across countries, as well as stepparents, adoptive parents, nannies, mentors, or caregivers who shaped the family scaffolding.

By acknowledging and reintegrating them, you’ll restore balance and open space for peace within yourself.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• A guided somatic reflection on shifting feelings as various people (known and unknown) enter the mind’s eye
• Connecting your “reflexes” to early experiences with important family members, to see how those formative moments shaped your nervous system
• An exercise to honor the past by using your gifts, not repeating pain, and to carry forward ancestral strengths rather than their wounds
• Releasing what isn’t yours to fix as excluded or forgotten ancestors are welcomed back into awareness, creating the safety to let go of burdens you’ve been carrying

In family systems, parents give and children take — life flows from ancestors to descendants. But when this flow is disrupted, children may carry burdens for their parents or ancestors, creating disorder and leaving us stuck in survival reflexes.

The most generous relationships are threefold: you, me, and the relationship itself. When you recognize where things are out of balance, you can begin to repair, moving into the emergent rather than the redundant.

You’ll learn to recognize how patterns like overgiving, ambivalence, resentment, or passive-aggressiveness keep you tied to unhealthy behaviors that feel familiar, and to shift instead to reciprocity, genuine participation in the present, and creative contribution to the future..

In this module, you’ll explore:

• Silently reflecting on acknowledging what is , right now, honestly seeing your relationships with others and yourself so you can take clear, grounded action
• Attending to the somatic responses that naturally come up when you confront reality with kindness and curiosity instead of fear and avoidance
• How to make a place for your early childhood reactions so they don’t overtake your adult responses and relationships
• Why relationships outside the family of origin are conditional, meaning you must keep tending to the conditions rather than pretending or denying the “what is”

You’ll explore the hidden systemic sentences that unconsciously shape your life — messages like “I don’t deserve to succeed” or “I must not speak up.”

These sentences often originated generations ago, serving survival in the past but keeping you trapped in patterns of silence, self-doubt, or fear today.

You’ll learn to recognize these inherited images and embodiments — unconscious imprints that still influence your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. For example, if your grandparents fled their homeland during war, the systemic sentence might be, “Life is not trustworthy; we must keep running.” Though its origin has been forgotten, the imprint remains.

By uncovering and releasing these sentences, you can free yourself from limiting dynamics and reclaim the lifeforce waiting behind them.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• Identifying your systemic sentences that set the contours of your self-image — perhaps they’re something like “I’m not enough; I don’t deserve happiness; It’s dangerous to be visible; I’m a fraud”
• Tracing the lineage of the sentences you carry so you can release them to the past
• Understanding how your predecessors navigated survival and how those strategies were passed down through the generations — and in many cases have now become your limitations
• How to understand and embody this phrase more deeply: “We stand upon the shoulders of our ancestors”

Seed sentences emerge when you’re ready to break contracts with the past. With enough ground behind you, it becomes safe — even irresistible — to travel lighter, align loyalty with aspiration, and step fully into your rightful place.

You’ll discover how shifting the systemic sentences you carry transforms your inheritance and the legacy you pass forward. You’ll gain clarity on how new seed sentences can take root in your life.

This work isn’t about finding healing, but about finding freedom. Instead of feeling trapped in a sense of personal deficit, you’ll begin to embody the truth: “whatever I need I have, and everything else is the beautiful extra.”

In this module, you’ll:

• Explore a guided practice to gather seed sentences — and perhaps create some new ones — to balance the continuing impact of systemic sentences.
• Move more confidently from an unconscious orientation to the past to a more mindful orientation to the future
• Feel the freedom and sovereignty of taking your place in the family system
• Welcome yourself and your fellow participants into the present!

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action… and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost.
— Martha Graham

As this journey comes to a close, you’ll move into a deeper sense that you matter — that while life will continue without you, it is enriched by your presence, your contributions, and the seeds you plant.

As you bring everything you’ve learned together, you’ll notice what you’ve been carrying on behalf of your family system, both near and far.

By releasing burdens that were never yours to bear, you’ll create the space to reclaim strength, confidence, and creativity — to offer yourself fully to the future through your children, your work, your artistry, or the ways you tend life around you.

With your predecessors behind you, you’ll be resourced, supported, and ready for what’s to come.

In this final module, you’ll:

• Synthesize all you’ve learned so you can begin to cultivate a felt awareness of your own significance and the uniqueness of your expression
• Participate in a group constellation that envisions all who are present as gatekeepers of the past and portals to what’s next
• Invite your ancestors to step in behind you as you anchor your connections to the past and open yourself up for what’s to come
• Celebrate all you’ve learned — and support your fellow participants as they celebrate what they’ve learned, too
