Invitation to Processes - 2026

I. Background and Current Invitation

For many years I have been interested in finding ways to synergize and link together powerful processes, and to work with others who have cultivated capacities in order to offer and create something that would be useful in addressing the challenges of our times.

I would like to explore, both online and in-person, synergistic ways of working together to expand our personal capacities, develop group capacities, and to engage the social field to seek areas of healing and leverage for healthy movement.

These would expand upon known processes that involve:

• Directed intention
• Inter-human attention
• Representational capacities
• Meta-biological exchange and transmission of energy and information between people — and perhaps into systems

An attempt to create something along these lines in 2016 resulted in a very turbulent event. While, in retrospect, much of what emerged during that time turned out to be prophetic — including leadership chaos, the Standing Rock gathering, and the theme of pedophilia — the intensity and chaos was quite sobering and sent me back to the drawing board for a decade.

Given what is happening in the world recently, it feels important to try again.

One error that we made in 2016 was to invite people who were enthusiastic about the topic but new to Constellations, somatic awareness, or meditative practices. The fields that we began to engage were too much for them.

Just as talented musicians can create something quite profound, some things are possible when everyone has refined capacities that they have cultivated. This is like the difference between attending a jam session and playing with the band.

Further details and more specifics are attached.

If you would like more information, please let me know. And, if you know anyone with significant familiarity with somatic, awareness, or field processes whom you feel might be interested, feel free to forward this to them.

Thank you for your consideration,

II. Invitation and Intentions

Our world is facing many challenges — extreme weather events, political instabilities, excessive corporate power, enormous wealth inequalities, domestic and international violence, lack of trust in governments and sources of information, and more.

To compound the situation, urgency and intensity activate fear-based patterns of us-against-them, generating reactivity rather than openness to creative and inclusive solutions.

“Trauma collapses the transitional space,” inhibiting and stifling the field of possibilities and creativity.

Personal and social trauma have also left many of us with blocked reaching-out movements, inhibiting us from moving toward creating the world we want to live in.

Those of us who have experienced Constellations know how deeply traumatized and entangled families and social systems can become when people are excluded or not given their right place in a system.

We are aware of the importance of unseen factors and forces that perpetuate these entanglements.

We have experienced the power of resolution when all find their right place in the system, and when what occurred is acknowledged rather than avoided.

Given all of this, we come together to explore and create forms of social inquiry and healing that can be of service to the larger world, and to:

• Empower ourselves as individuals, groups, and as a culture
• Free blocked reaching-out movements that limit us personally and socially
• Be present to collective suffering and trauma in ways that reduce cycles of reactivity
• Come into deeper relationship with sacred and expanded dimensions of living
• Uncover deep experiential understandings and an embodied experience of the social field
• Assist with untangling the social field around significant issues
• Acknowledge perpetrator guilt while relieving burdens of shame
• Gather and share the insights that emerge from our explorations

Our intention is to do this by:

• Creating mutual synergy, shared resourcing, and new group capacities
• Developing supportive holding spaces to contain the intense distress and reactivity that occurs in the field
• Providing deep access into fields of social issues to find healing insights and movements
• Creating spaces that help liberate the profound creativity required to overcome such challenges

III. Practices We Will Draw From

1. Family and Systemic Constellations
   These make use of our innate ability to perceive relationships in a system so that we may bring insight and realign what is out of order. They can also offer opportunities for representatives to access and potentially share certain states and qualities not normally accessible.
2. Circle Processes
   Slow, deep listening to what is arising for each person, making space for each one.
3. Intuitive Sensing Processes
   Focusing and other processes that tune into bodily-felt senses.
4. Shamanic Processes
5. Models and Teachings
   Drawing from spiritual teachings and psychological insights to help guide and direct our explorations.
