2023 Neuroscience and Constellations Series:

Enjoying the Shadow in Constellations 

How do we re-integrate the hidden, scorned and rejected parts of a system back into wholeness?

March – December 2023 Explorations

(Mondays, from 9:00am-10:30am Pacific Time, 5pm-6:30pm United Kingdom Time)

This 10-month live online drop-in series will offer facilitators new ways to think about working with the unconscious, hidden realms underlying client interviews. You can purchase sessions individually or as a full series; purchase includes an invitation to the live exploration, and the recording provided afterwards.

This 10-month series focuses on how family constellations and neuroscience can support us to reintegrate lost. fragmented, and buried parts of the self.

Predatory Aggression and Pettiness in Constellations – March 20, 2023

MARCH EXPLORATION: March 20, 2023 from 9:00-10:30am Pacific Time, 5pm-6:30pm British Time (convert to your timezone here)

What makes us mean and small-minded? Why are we resentful, and why do we take delight in small acts of revenge? When we look at others as tools or objects, and life as a series of goals to be attained, we are necessarily less generous, more likely to be petty and to use predatory aggression as a way to negotiate the world. This is a part of our shadow. And our instrumental brain has a gravitational force that pulls us away from generosity, kindness and openmindedness. As we acknowledge the pull, we can be more compassionate with ourselves and with others. Join Sarah Peyton to open your heart to yourself, to your clients and to their families in a way that will make your constellation work more joyful, even in the face of the world as it is.

This webinar will include a brief lecture on the relational neuroscience of predatory aggression and pettiness, a mini-constellation breakout so that everyone can explore, and a large-group constellation if there is time. The seeker will be selected by a lottery of those who agree to be recorded for others’ learning.

Schadenfreude in Constellations – April 17, 2023

APRIL EXPLORATION: April 17, 2023 from 9:00-10:30am Pacific Time, 5pm-6:30pm British Time (convert to your timezone here)

We can take perverse pleasure in the misfortunes of others – this is so common that it has a name – schadenfreude. This feeling can be intense and simultaneously feel good and feel awful – it is a part of our shadow. What are the roots of this phenomenon, how does it show up in constellations, and how can it be disarmed? Join Sarah Peyton to explore the meaning of schadenfreude and learn the relational neuroscience behind this experience. Take steps toward more compassion for yourself and learn tools to support self-compassion in your clients.

This webinar will include a brief lecture on the relational neuroscience of schadenfreude, a mini-constellation breakout so that everyone can explore, and a large-group constellation if there is time. The seeker will be selected by a lottery of those who agree to be recorded for others’ learning.

The Thoughtlessness-to-Narcissism Continuum in Constellations – May 15, 2023

MAY EXPLORATION: May 15, 2023 from 9:00-10:30am Pacific Time, 5pm-6:30pm British Time (convert to your timezone here)

All of us have thoughtless moments – times when other people or their requests cease to exist for us. What is the impact on others of our thoughtlessness, and how does the shadow of thoughtlessness become narcissism? What happens for the children or partners of people whose thoughtlessness strays into narcissism, and what can we do as constellation facilitators to help such clients? Join Sarah Peyton for an exploration of the roots and neuroscience of thoughtlessness, and ways to support healing in ourselves and our clients.

This webinar will include a brief lecture on the relational neuroscience of thoughtlessness and narcissism, a mini-constellation breakout so that everyone can explore, and a large-group constellation if there is time. The seeker will be selected by a lottery of those who agree to be recorded for others’ learning.

“My involvement Sarah’s 2017 in-depth family constellation program was eye opening, jaw dropping awe inspiring and life changing. Sarah facilitates her programs with such skill, humility, openness, tenderness, safety, and love which enabled me to experience deep learning and healing… Sarah is extremely gifted and intuitive. Her constellation explorations examine and weave together threads of history, trauma and family generations while maintaining a safe environment.”

Constellations Healing for Those Who Receive Contempt – June 19, 2023

JUNE EXPLORATION: June 19, 2023 from 9:00-10:30am Pacific Time, 5pm-6:30pm British Time (convert to your timezone here)

Do you feel rotten when people roll their eyes at you or pull one corner of their mouth back? You are not alone. The emotion that we receive that has the most intense impact on our immune systems is contempt. It is a protective emotion for the person feeling it, but it harms the people who receive it. We often see contempt as a family’s best attempt to manage emotions, particularly grief, and it often shows up in constellations for our clients. What do we do with it? How do we welcome it and take its venom away to allow for transformation and healing? Join Sarah Peyton for an investigation of the relational neuroscience of contempt and the support of resilience.

This webinar will include a brief lecture on the relational neuroscience of contempt, a mini-constellation breakout so that everyone can explore, and a large-group constellation if there is time. The seeker will be selected by a lottery of those who agree to be recorded for others’ learning.

Working with the Myth of Laziness in Constellations – July 17, 2023

JULY EXPLORATION: July 17, 2022 from 9:00-10:30am Pacific Time, 5pm-6:30pm British Time (convert to your timezone here)

Do you ever become angry and contemptuous with yourself for not being able to take action? Do you ever feel paralyzed, and call yourself “lazy?” Do your clients ever worry that they or their children are “lazy?” Condemning self and others for “laziness” is a primary shadow action, with interesting elements of sadism. Understanding the neurobiology of immobilization is an important element of both personal healing and client support in constellation work, and leads to greater self-compassion and more ability to take action. Join Sarah Peyton to experience the effectiveness of accompaniment for immobilization.

This webinar includes a brief lecture on the relational neuroscience of laziness, an in-depth mini-constellation demo plus instructions to try it yourself with either other people or with objects. The seeker was selected by a lottery of those who agreed to be recorded for others’ learning.

AUGUST EXPLORATION: August 21, 2023 from 9:00-10:30am Pacific Time, 5pm-6:30pm British Time (convert to your timezone here)

Do you ever have the sense that the desire for more is insatiable? Do you see it in yourself, your family, your clients and in the world? What are the roots of the shadow quality of greed, and what is the neurobiology of the longing for more, more, more? Join Sarah Peyton to investigate ways to understand greed and free yourself and your clients from its hunger. 

This webinar will include a brief lecture on the relational neuroscience of greed, a mini-constellation breakout so that everyone can explore, and a large-group constellation if there is time. The seeker will be selected by a lottery of those who agree to be recorded for others’ learning.

“There is no constellation facilitator or teacher in the world I trust more than Sarah, whose attunement to the seeker and deep honoring of the experience of representatives allows everyone access to deep healing without retraumatization. Sarah allows for everyone’s intuition to collectively guide the process, rather than overdetermining the process from a rational perspective. The results are unexpected and profound.”

Supporting Resilience Around Bullying with Constellations – October 16, 2023

OCTOBER EXPLORATION: October 16, 2023 from 9:00-10:30am Pacific Time, 5pm-6:30pm British Time (convert to your timezone here)

Bullying is hard on us no matter how old we are, but it is particularly difficult to receive when we are children. The difficulties are so great that they actually leave visible scars inside the brain. The memories of bullying become part of the shadow whether we were ourselves bullied or bullies. What we need in the aftermath of bullying is acknowledgment and access to our resources of resilience and self-compassion. As individuals and as facilitators, we can do a great deal to support with constellation work. Join Sarah Peyton to explore the remedy of constellations for brains carrying the burden of bullying.

This webinar will include a brief lecture on the relational neuroscience of bullying, a mini-constellation breakout so that everyone can explore, and a large-group constellation if there is time. The seeker will be selected by a lottery of those who agree to be recorded for others’ learning.

The Surprise of Sexuality’s Friend, Disgust, in Constellations – December 18, 2023

DECEMBER EXPLORATION: December 18, 2023 from 9:00-10:30am Pacific Time, 5pm-6:30pm British Time (convert to your timezone here)

Do you remember when you used to find French kissing disgusting? Or the thought of other sexual acts? Our healthy disgust is always trying to serve us by keeping us from being invaded or violated, but as we grow older, our healthy disgust often starts to make friends with our healthy sexuality, leading to clarity and to exploration for each individual person, with exactly what feels right for each. Join Sarah Peyton to celebrate disgust as a friend of sexuality and a giver of boundaries.

This webinar will include a brief lecture on the relational neuroscience of disgust and sexuality, a mini-constellation breakout so that everyone can explore, and a large-group constellation if there is time. The seeker will be selected by a lottery of those who agree to be recorded for others’ learning.
