Monthly Topics

When We’re Parenting Our Parents: A Family Constellations Approach

Our brains are made to grow and develop most fully, most effectively, when we get to be little and our parents assume the responsibility of being big. But when collective trauma enters our family line and becomes personal, the parents don’t know how to be the big ones, and generation after generation of parents make their children take care of them. Join Sarah Peyton for an 85-minute exploration of the movements that free children from these patterns, and, if you are a facilitator, gain insight into de-parentifying clients.

Power Struggles in Partnership: A Family Constellations Approach

Some of the most difficult moments in partnership happen during power struggles. We often need restoration after we have experienced manipulation, intrusion, or violence, including sexual violence. Relational neuroscience lets us understand what is happening and its links with trauma more fully. Family Constellations offer unique pathways for re-balancing. Explore the how-to’s of the restoration of balance in an 85-minute experiential constellations class with Sarah Peyton.

Growing Beyond Mentors and Teachers: A Family Constellations Approach

Are you staying in relationships that you have outgrown? Is your life disappearing while you wait for the right moment to claim your own power, authority and wisdom? What happens in the brain when we are so torn? Family Constellations can help you feel into your own right place. Join Sarah Peyton for an 85-minute Constellations exploration into the relational neuroscience of why we stay, and what we need, in order to take the next step on our life path. If you are a facilitator, this class will offer a new take on loyalties and their release.

Growing Up When Your Sibling Doesn’t: A Family Constellations Approach

Becoming an adult is complex, and becomes more difficult when we have to leave siblings behind, trapped in your shared childhood, or wrapped up and inaccessible in family contracts. How can we leave someone we love so much behind? What does this mean in terms of trauma and relational neuroscience? This 85-minute session with Sarah Peyton will offer participants the opportunity to become acquainted with their own wounded loyalties, and experience the support of Family Constellations in transitioning to adulthood. Facilitators will take away both neuroscience understanding and a pattern for supporting clients who are struggling with sibling issues.

Staying Strong Despite Passive-Aggressiveness: A Family Constellations Approach

What is the difference between a straightforward approach to conflict and passive-aggressiveness? What happens in the brain when we are trying to avoid conflict? Families often make straightforward movement impossible with entrenched cultures of avoidance. What can we do if we are in such a trap? How can Family Constellations help? Join Sarah Peyton for an 85-minute exploration of these questions. Facilitators will leave with new possibilities for identifying avoidance and strengthening their clients.

Finding Self Out of Codependency: A Family Constellations Approach

Do you ever lose yourself in others? What kinds of people do you tend to get lost in? Are you ever confused about what your responsibilities are? Do you want to make decisions for your adult children, your partner, your parents? Does your mood depend on how others are feeling? Have people told you that you are codependent? Where do you move fluidly in your life, and where might you be stuck? Join Sarah Peyton for an 85-minute investigation of codependency, the brain and the growth toward freedom and interdependence with the help of Family Constellations. If you are a facilitator, you will take away a constellation pattern to support client strength and resilience.

Neediness vs Interdependence: A Family Constellations Approach

Were we really made to be lone heroes? Is the most admirable person the person who is independent and self-sufficient? Or is there something we have not yet fully experienced about interdependence, a new and radical way of being, that can be glimpsed in Family Constellations? The human brain and body were made to be in good company, despite our culture’s insistence on autonomy, and this 85-minute webinar with Sarah Peyton will give us a glimpse of this. If you are a facilitator, you will take away a new way to think about your clients’ inherent capacities for community.

Unblurring Work-Life Boundaries: A Family Constellations Approach

Does the time you spend on work slip over its edges into the rest of your life? Do you struggle to keep a foot in your personal life, and preserve time for yourself and your loved ones? What kinds of loyalties trap people in unhealthy relationships with their work? And what light can relational neuroscience and Family Constellations shed on the question of work-life balance? Come explore in an 85-minute offering with Sarah Peyton. If you are a facilitator, you will carry away a thoughtful possibility for future client support.

Growing Up Despite Loyalties: A Family Constellations Approach

What happens when our path leads us away from our family’s beliefs and traditions? We are often overtaken by despair. Nervous systems and brains experience pain that is visible on fMRI’s in such situations. How can Family Constellations speak to the experience of seeing things from the outside, and how do we create a large enough sense of belonging that we are no longer outside, but instead we can grow up properly and still belong? Come and experience the integration that Family Constellations offers in an 85-minute exploration with Sarah Peyton. If you are a facilitator, this class will offer a neuroscience background to a common client question.

Adoptions, Stepparents and Nurses: A Family Constellations Approach

Do you ever wonder about the twists and turns of strange fate that give us adoptive parents or stepparents, or caregivers who are not part of our birth family? The unfolding of life that give us this or that family, and then replaces them? How do we make sense of this unpredictable world, acknowledge the losses, and claim the strange gifts that emerge from our fate? And how do we include adoptive parents, stepparents and other important caregivers in family constellations? Join Sarah Peyton for an 85-minute journey into claiming the gifts of our fates. If you are a facilitator, this class will give you the neuroscience underlying traditional constellation patterns.

Confusions of Life and Death: A Family Constellations Approach

Do you ever wonder if life is worth living? Do you ache for meaning and expression, but have a sense of all of that being so deeply buried it is inaccessible? At this time of year, when in the northern hemisphere we are heading so deeply into winter, with nature becoming so very quiet, questions of life and death whisper to us. We might think that it would be difficult to confuse life and death, but this time of year reminds us of our cycles of withdrawal, rest and gestation, and the bursting out that follows in the spring. Come work with Sarah Peyton for an 85-minute exploration of differentiating life from death. If you are a facilitator, this class will give you differentiations to consider in your own facilitation.

Differentiating Fear from History: Ancestors and Family Constellations

Sometimes we are afraid of things based on very good personal historical reasons, but sometimes we are afraid for what seems like little or no reason. Fear and a sense that the world is a dangerous and stressful place is a particular emotional position that we can inherit from past generations. Family Constellations can help us to explore and release the fear that our ancestors have sent us as a protective gift. Come experience this differentiation in an 85-minute class with Sarah Peyton. If you are a facilitator, this class will provide the epigenetic background of transgenerational trauma.
