Description
Through the practice of Emergent Constellations, we will turn toward the themes of secrecy, shame, privacy, camouflage, and emergence. We will work with the ways our bodies carry what has not been explicitly named in our family systems and the ways our facilitation practices can become more attuned to the timing of the field.
Each class in this series offers a specific doorway into this larger theme. Together, they form a spiral of inquiry, one that folds in and opens out, again and again. Here is this year’s plan:
- Working with Family Secrets
- Unveiling the Hidden: The Astrological Field of Secrets
- Camouflage and Consent: Refusing the Gaze
- Hiding from Ourselves and 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
This class series is for February, June, September and November
February 27 to March 1, 2026 – Working with Family Secrets
We begin with the hidden stories of our lineages. As the northern hemisphere begins to hint that spring exists, we explore the weight of family secrets and the ways they shape belonging, identity, and silence. We attune to the energy of withheld truths, unspoken shame, and the movements that arise when what was buried begins to shift. Themes include abortion, abuse, money, infidelity, gender identity, queerness, and migration. We will practice holding space for what is not fully known and following the subtle signals of emergence.
June 26 to 28, 2026 – Unveiling the Hidden: The Astrological Field of Secrets
This optional additional offering invites those interested in astrological archetypes to explore how hidden dynamics show up in natal charts and transits. We will engage astrology as a relational practice of listening to what is beneath the surface, leaving behind the idea of astrology as a tool for prediction. Participants will learn to sense what stories are living in the chart, what is nudging us toward consciousness, and how to meet what is emerging with care and curiosity.
September 25 to 27, 2026 – Camouflage and Consent: Refusing the Gaze
As late fall sharpens our vision, we turn our attention to the gaze. What is the difference between being seen and being exposed? We follow the wisdom of camouflage as a relational choice, based on very good historical evidence, and practice attuning to the body’s signals around safety, consent, and visibility. We work with themes such as masking, gender expression, surveillance, the division between public and private selves, and the refusal of the patriarchal gaze. We will learn to hold presence without pressure and to honor boundaries as a sacred form of knowing.
November 20 to 22, 2026 – Hiding from Ourselves and the World
As the season cools and darkens, we enter the inner sanctum of privacy. In this class, we sit with the parts of ourselves that are not ready to emerge and may never need to. We also bring respect and care to the parts of ourselves that are hibernating, waiting for different impulses for awakening. We ask, is there difference between vulnerability and oversharing? We attend to what is staying hidden and to what is beginning to stir. We work with the slow timing of emergence and learn to trust the movement of the field without forcing it forward.
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.
