Systemic & Family Constellations
Create better connections with yourself and the people in your life.
Systemic & Family Constellations allow us to explore how patterns or pain points in life may originate in prior generations or dynamics outside our everyday awareness. Looking with compassion and non-judgment at the origin of issues brings more clarity and ease to life and relationships.
Bring your question or pain point by attending as a Turn Taker
Receive support in a group process. You'll be guided to map your family or work system in the context of an issue or question you'd like to explore. You'll receive a broad perspective in a safe community.
Find meaning and support others by attending as a Participant/Rep
You'll be guided to use your presence to support the constellations set by the Turn Takers. Serving as a representative and witness to this process generates nourishing insights into life, work, and hope.

For more context, the Many Ways' payment flow philosophy is described below.
Payment Flow with Many Ways
A philosophical, experiential, and value-informed approach
I long for a world in which there is ample, equitable access to support and services at every scale of the social system. To realize that vision, I believe we must find new, compassionate structures that meet us where we are and encourage our hearts onward. Small, courageous experiments build our collective capacity.
The Many Ways approach to payment flow is one such experiment. It recognizes that what is equitable (fair to the circumstances) is not necessarily equal (the same for all). Different people at various times have diverse needs and capacities. This is life.
This approach seeks to balance individual flexibility with being in one another’s care.

"I can trust Amelia with my fears, failures, and foibles. She listens compassionately and productively, wanting the best for me without telling me what that is."
"The Constellation was truly incredible and [what I learned] makes SO much sense. Some missing pieces were brought into the light of clarity."
"[The Constellation workshop] was an extraordinary experience. I feel honored to have been a witness and participant."
"This is to convey inexpressible gratitude for holding the space, for guiding with unbounded grace, and for the gifts that emanate from all of that."
