Module 1

(INTRO)

 

The Sensory Architect 

 

Course work

​

Ethics and space holding essentials are introduced

​

The Model

• an understanding of the model of earth ensemble work through counselling (gestalt and psychodynamic), constellation and shamanic lenses  

• an understanding of the meaning of ‘field work’ 

• able to participate in enquiries into field operation through models and personal mapping

 

The Principles

 

• the principles of earth ensemble work are through counselling (gestalt and psychodynamic), constellation and shamanic lenses  

• the importance of placings are within the context of orders of love (Hellinger), optimum flow, inclusion (wholeness template/medicine wheel shamanic model) and empathic resonance (person centred counselling) 

• the importance of resourcing in this work is huge - bring in resourcing - where there is disconnection from resources there is no flow

• hand back fates - see what you are carrying on behalf of an ancestor and hand it back with the phrase ‘I am leaving this with you and the greater ancestors, they will know what to do’  (leaving the ancestor resourced with what they have previously been unable or unwilling to hold) 

• at this level, you can participate in enquiries into these principles through using models and by personal mapping of your own stories

​

The Enquirer

​

• The importance of the place of the enquirer and the holding that the plot has unfolded because they have entanglements with or pulls to other stories through their body genetics, life, ancestral and the mythical holding stations 

• If the representative was able to clearly hold their place and their life wish then these stories would not be showing up as difficulty.  

• Keep in mind everything you have learnt in the foundation stages so you can keep present and aware.  You will be holding a clear space holder place known as ‘neutral stance’ so that the enquirer can find their way back to this too.  

• You can try out a range of different ways of setting up or approaching this work by drawing, placing models, mats, being in nature and choosing trees etc.

• Floor markers, representatives and table top constellations using stones, crystals or pieces of paper are some more ways

• In distance Constellations by zoom or phone for example, you will be asking someone to picture in their mind’s eye and get information about how someone looks or whee they are looking and bringing in the hidden to see what is there.  Once the hidden is placed you can feel into it together and the client will guide you to what it is, you will pick up on the feelings around it to be able to give it a place, bring in resourcing so you enable the client to hand it back and not carry or be tied to the weight of it.

Module 2  

 

North The Physical Present

 

Course work

 

Presence

​

• understanding the power of presence will help you hold a steady space 

• experiencing and understanding of the importance of bodily awareness as our guiding principle for the work will be a bar for the success of the practice

• experiencing and understanding of what it means to be present as a facilitator and to work phenomenologically is something that takes time and practice. By opening up to presence we are able to appreciate there are so anythings at play in one moment.  We are present but also take our place in the realm of ‘the place beyond all stories’. In this way we can encounter both wholeness and discernment of the different elements at play that are disrupting the potential of wholeness

• appreciation of the value of ritual and its purpose within constellation work can assist the process of giving ourselves over to the power of a timeless and sacred practice 

 

Body Mapping

 

• having a simple knowledge of  biological mapping of bone structures, organs, nervous system and body parts will let our physical presence in this world have even more of a place, it will also bring opportunities to listen to body parts that we may have neglected and see what they are showing us   

• Exploring some of psychological and spiritual sources of illnesses as accessed through different schools of thought, like the holistic models of Rudolph Ballentine and Louise Hay, can bring us maps to see what illness is showing us.  Setting up a constellation and interviewing an illness or body part or setting up a parallel constellation with a story of fates that is being carried can lead to some interesting releases and disentangling

• Letting yourself encounter movements of soul as experienced in the body and being open to how we feel a shift as we name, give room for and allow for the story and honouring will help you to become deft at tracking the freeing passage of release in constellations

​

Earth Mapping

​

• knowledge of simple geographical mapping of the earth and its continents and countries will really assist the understanding of origins of ancestry

• knowledge of political geography of land that has changed ownership will bring a supply of pre-information to bring to a session dealing with the effects of this on belonging

• mapping oceans, rivers and lakes, mountains and plains in relationship with the ancestral stories and lore of the land can help us tap into the mythical and human belonging that can be repaired through constellation work

• when looking at the main species and the populations of each water and land mass we get a sense of which creatures and mythical beings the ancestors brought a thread of connection to.  This will also be accessible and supportive for the client

• looking at extinction and change, exiling, slavery and killing in the history of the place i.e. of people, races and of animals for culling like seals or whales we can see the impact on feelings of disconnection, carrying guilt, shame or repeating patterns of not being able to find a place in life

• over-farming, natural disaster like fire and the effects of domesticating animals for food can come through in a constellation for needing honouring

• generational fear due to war, tragedy, famine or breaking rules can carry through and need accountability and honouring for the story to be brought to the past

• we have ways to tune into the physical land and feel the quality of its soil and soul. This can be listened to in constellation work to bring replenishment and resourcing to aid land healing  

• we are all one - so all of this contributes to the health of all

 

Module 3

 

East The Life line

 

Course work

 

Tracking Vibrations

• you have been feeling own lifeline as a sequence of vibrations that build up an impression and that can be entered into energetically to read a story work with own life story and making time lines for different themes such as relationships with people, buildings, organisations, families, education systems, belief systems, religions, sexual relationships etc. 

• you have used colours to mark the sets of each relationship as felt now 

• the experience of allowing the impression of each relationship on self has been felt and honoured as being there in the way it presents. This always comes first to honour the reality of it as it is felt remember!  

• an introduction to the shamanic matrix has been made and history of the practice of listening to and affecting vibration 

 

  Entanglements and the disentanglers

​

• you have learnt a way of checking for entanglements and ties with places in the life line

• you have a few simple statements in your tool kit that help to untie the knot

• it’s really key to appreciate the incredible power of deep listening here.  It truly supports and allows untangling.  Applying the shamanic model - the disentangling guides also bring a listening energy. It is empathy and depth of understanding that will bring medicine and relief

• the introduction of rattles, sounds, song, whistling, drumming and bells as instruments to work with brings even more strength in honouring the deep listening and availability of releasing through the realms 

​

Overlays of land and systems

 

• understanding the effects of the stories held in the land on the people who move or live there.  

• feeling the influence of belief systems and approaches on the lives of people and the land 

• growing an appreciation that connecting with the natural state of the land and its nature occupants can support a place to come back into tune with itself again

• growing awareness that belief systems that don’t allow an inclusion of every member of the earth community can bring tensions and difficulty in finding belonging for certain bodies

• being able to build diagrams of chosen communities that give a place for the missing and the exiled, the forbidden and the invisible and noticing the effects of this

• drawing of diagrams of chosen communities giving a place for the body with overlay of the excluded beliefs or approaches and noticing the effects of this
