Description
What things do you choose to keep hidden? Where do you become the same as everyone else? Where do you mask?
Camouflage can sometimes be a strategy, and sometimes it isn’t particularly life-serving. But it can also be wisdom. It can be a form of resistance, a way to care for self and others, and a way of preserving what is not ready to be seen or named.
In this master class, we look at the energetic dynamics of being seen and choosing not to be seen. How is the field of what should be seen shaped by power? What happens when the gaze is unwanted or unsafe? We celebrate the difference between exposure that is imposed, and vulnerability and visibility that are chosen.
We will enter practices that help us sense into how surveillance, shame, and pressure shape our nervous systems and our choices. We will work with the inner and outer tensions between the public self and the private self. We will spend time with gender expression, identity, and the subtle negotiations we make every day about how much of ourselves to share or withhold.
Themes include:
- Refusing the patriarchal gaze and its demands
- Sensing the effects of surveillance on the body and field
- Working with the edges between privacy and isolation
- Understanding camouflage as an embodied practice of choice
- Honoring the complexity of gender expression in relational systems

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
This class offers space for practitioners to notice the pressures of visibility and the deep intelligence of refusal. We will practice following what wants to be seen and honoring what needs protection. We will explore how consent lives not only in words but in the energetic patterns of being witnessed.
Participants will:
- Learn to sense when a gaze becomes a form of extraction or control
- Support movements of concealment and emergence within constellation work
- Deepen their awareness of how power and privacy shape identity
- Strengthen their ability to follow what is alive without pushing what is hidden into view
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.

- Your tuition payment is non-refundable (but it is transferable).
- This course 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.
