These two classes introduce Beatrice Beebe’s work in detail, integrating it with Jaak Panksepp’s Circuits of Emotion and Motivation, which help us understand the nervous system’s drop into shame when we inadvertently break a contract. We learn about some of the most common contracts people make with themselves to prevent shame and disappointment from ever happening again.

There are two main forms of cruelty that show up in relationships and families: RAGE, which is its own circuit, and predatory aggression (the colder experience of contempt and bullying), which is part of the SEEKING circuit. How can we tell them apart in constellation work, and what benefits are there in disentangling them? Join Sarah Peyton to explore RAGE in constellations.

What are the relational experiences that create a pervasive sense of self-doubt and tell us that our voice, our presence and gifts are not welcome? Who suffers from imposter syndrome and how do we move towards more recognition of our value? Join Sarah Peyton and Jaya Manske for an investigation of the research into this phenomenon and some resonant practices to bring you back to your sense of authenticity when you lose your sense of your own worth.

What causes us to react to others and how long does it take for our bodies to calm? Learn the role implicit memory plays in reactivity, and how we can use empathy and resonance skills to transform reactivity into calm and connection.

Join Sarah Peyton to discover self-compassion and self-warmth for some of the feelings we find hardest to love in ourselves.

These two classes explore of contracts connected to Panksepp’s circuits, in particular, we take a look at the contracts connected with anxiety, specifically those that concern the circuits of: FEAR and PANIC/GRIEF

In these two classes, we trace the development of contracts that can be made during traumatic moments to either never be angry, or to punish ourselves or others for getting angry, and learn how to release them. We also learn that when others’ actions cause us to break our own contracts, this can bring about rage.

One of the primary issues that clients bring to constellations is loneliness. Often people have been lonely for years, in part because of circumstances, but in part because they create contracts of isolation that are supposed to prevent heartbreak and devastation. Join Sarah Peyton to explore PANIC/GRIEF in constellations.

In the wake of natural disasters, extreme weather patterns, pandemics, and war, ripples of collective trauma shakes individuals, families and society as a whole. Without any knowledge of the impact of collective trauma, you may wonder about the behaviors in yourself and those closest to you. When we understand the impacts, and are able to name and acknowledge what we have been through, doorways to compassion open. Join Sarah for an exploration that will take us into transgenerational understanding and movement.

Join Sarah for six days of exploration of collective trauma, its impact on us, and the strange new joy that is birthed from really seeing our world and what is happening to it. We will be supported in our mourning, recognize the beauty of each body’s wisdom, and open to a joyful presence.

The most important circuit for our client’s health and well-being is the PLAY circuit. It is also the circuit most vulnerable to the impacts of trauma. When we heal trauma with our constellation work, we are gently moving our clients’ PLAY circuits towards awakening. With this knowledge, we can capitalize on healing movements to blow on the embers of joy. Join Sarah Peyton to explore PLAY in constellations.
