Whether you want to address chronic illness, relationship challenges, or work issues, the tools of systemic (or family) constellations can help shift what feels stuck in your life, and transform blocks between you and what you want to create.

A sacred play time, with joy, laughter and companions where we will practice saying “yes” to “no”. NO to believing we are not enough, or too much. YES to self-gratitudes, self-appreciation and self-celebration. Yes to enjoying sacred play, laughter, and welcoming ease. Mayari and Mair have enjoyed immensely collaborating to create a space for deeply listening to each other and bringing our shared sense of fun and play and laughter to our time together, while honoring our self-care. For example: While on a planning call, we realized that we were both feeling peckish and agreed to pause for dinner and then to return to our call after nourishing ourselves. It worked! We returned to the call refreshed and ready to “rock and roll”. :-) We’ve thought of exercises to enhance our sense of connection and ease, self-love…. and for us each to experience being “the boss of me”. Inner children welcome! We’ll have drawing/coloring materials available for those who choose to use them.

Consider hosting a 2 hour Medicine for Hate workshop in your living room, church, school, or conference room. Any size group. This is an interactive exploratory conversation that taps into our own experiences to find wisdom and understanding about hate. It offers an opportunity to engage differently with ourselves and others when we are at a loss, or when we find ourselves disconnecting from others as a result of hate speech, or acts of hate. Leaning into hate in order to heal, and open to others can offer empowerment. More details provided below.
