Depression: What the Constellations Field Tells Us and Possibilities for Therapy – with Elena Veselago
January 24 @ 8:00 am - January 26 @ 1:00 pm PST
Cost: $1000About the Event
In this workshop, we will consider depression not as a medical or psychiatric diagnosis, but as a state of decline and helplessness, an unwillingness to live, which lasts for a long time. We will see what the field process is that leads us to the decline of depression. This decrease in energy serves to release the deep core of the self, which has been oppressed by wrong decisions, traumatic disconnections, and the destructive patterns that we inherit from the family.
We will learn to release this core of self without increasing depression or even entering it. We will also consider the role of antidepressants and other drugs and how to “cooperate” with them in field work. Constellators and therapists are invited to the seminar.

During this workshop, Elena alternates between lectures, analyzing participants’ stories and situations to illustrate the laws of the field and teach techniques, short constellations, and small group exercises to apply and integrate the learning.
Elena Veselago has been practicing constellations for over 20 years. She is the director of the Open Field Institute in Moscow, where she has taught constellation facilitation to about 5,000 people. This year’s workshop will be translated by Elena’s Russian translator.
Please Note: If you have an acute depressive state, you should refrain from participating in the seminar, since there will be quite a serious field load.
Who is this Course for?
Both beginners and those who have already studied with Elena and other masters are welcome to attend the seminar. The seminar will be given in terms that are comprehensible for beginners, and at the same time, the work will be done at a deep level to satisfy experienced constellators. This is a very rare opportunity for experienced facilitators and teachers of facilitation to learn Elena Veselago’s method of teaching. You must be proficient in English to attend. English segments will not be translated.
This course is not intended to support personal healing. Skills cultivated are intended to be used to work with clients rather than yourself, family, and friends.

*PLEASE NOTE:
- Your tuition payment is non-refundable (but it is transferable).
- This work is not therapy and is not a substitute for therapy. If you have a sense that you would be destabilized by yourself or others speaking about difficult events, then this course may not be for you. While we hope that the processes and information that we share can be of use in your journey, we do not have the resources to support extreme psychological difficulties.
