Emerging with Power: Authenticity and Sexuality in Constellation Work

The greatest human dilemma is the conflict between belonging and authenticity. We are raised to believe that it is impossible for both to co-exist at the same time: that we can never be our true selves and simultaneously really belong to our families and our friend groups. This is a false conflict, and family constellation work allows us to find the resolution of this riddle so that we can become the most authentic, graceful, and true expression of ourselves, including whatever expressions or non-expressions of sexuality feel right to us, while simultaneously forming deep connections with family and community. The more we are our true selves, the more true love there is in our lives.

In this 3-day, 15-hour workshop, we will learn about constellation facilitation and use constellations to explore how both we and our clients can take the next steps on our journey to become our most powerful, authentic selves, leveraging the power of our emergent and sexual beings in service of our missions.

The work with sexuality is not just the alignment with our truest expression of sexuality and non-sexuality: it is also the becoming of the authentic self–our individuated unique adult manifestation of the particular fractal of humanity that our own brain and body contain.

Additionally, our truest and most authentic expression of sexuality is not limited to physical intimacy. It includes the powerful connection with our drives, passions, desires, and interests, the things that are calling us and the things that we’re reaching for. It also includes the pleasure of being reached for, the experience of receiving, of being both the lover and the beloved in every sense in our lives.

Embracing this fullness of self allows us to powerfully emerge. The word “power” points us towards the energy with which we move into the world. Do we feel fully supported to bring our strength and passion into the world? Do we feel allowed to be as big and as alive as we are? Does it feel terrifying to let the loudness of your care and curiosity show to yourself and those around you?

We must also be powerful in our vulnerability. In order to be truly vulnerable we have to be grounded in our authentic emotions and trust the truth of our body’s experience of the world.

Where?

The course will meet via zoom. We welcome participants from all time zones who wish to learn asynchronously for some or all of the sessions. Recordings and visuals will be made available to those who are registered for the live program (typically available within 72 hours of the live session).

What to Expect:

Each day we alternate between short lectures on neuroscience and constellation concepts with mini-constellations to explore and practice the concepts, and then we do large group constellations. If you’re a visual learner you can imagine small islands of didactic learning, surrounded by slightly larger islands of small-group learning, and then interspersed with large, full-group constellations. Small group work will be done in small groups or dyads via breakout groups on zoom.

Constellations facilitated by Sarah will alternate with Constellations facilitated by Masterclass participants, interspersed with large and small group learning. Both being a facilitator and being a seeker happen by lottery. Only participants who have attended other master series sessions with Sarah will be eligible to be facilitators. Not all participants will have a chance to be a seeker or a facilitator.

What You’ll Learn:

Over this 3-day workshop series, participants will:

• Discover the link between our SEXUALITY circuit and our authentic selves
• Release contracts that block our true emergence and access to our power
• Work with mini-constellations that support the exploration of the relationship between sexuality (this can include asexuality), power and emergence
• Work with the foundational skills of constellation facilitation
• Improve constellation facilitation confidence, humility and practices for general practice
• Have the opportunity to participate in a large-group constellation facilitated by Sarah
• Have the opportunity to participate in a large-group constellation facilitated by a student and supported by Sarah
• Have multiple opportunities to be in lotteries to be a client or to student-facilitate large group constellations.

Who Is This Course For?

These sessions are intended for people who are interested in learning about constellation facilitation and how constellation work transforms and heals. Both experienced and new facilitators are welcome. Student facilitators will have opportunities for supervision and support from Sarah Peyton. Sometimes, personal growth and transformation happen coincidentally, but personal work for participants isn’t the main focus of the offerings in the masterclass series.

Please Note:

• Your tuition payment is non-refundable (but it is transferable).
• This workshop will be recorded for those who want to learn asynchronously for some or all sessions.
• 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.
