The Biennial Winter Retreat: Passion and Responsibility in the Heart of Conflict


  The Biennial Winter Retreat

We all have inner maps of our relationships to others. We express these often: I am not close to my sister.My partner and I do not see eye to eye.These are expressions of spatial relationships. Bert Hellinger, German psychotherapist, has developed a method that allows these inner maps to become visible, through the use of representatives who stand in for people in the system, even though they do not know them at all. In some way they tap into the knowing field that surrounds any human system and express the words, feelings and often physical characteristics of those they represent. Moreover, by carefully changing their physical relationship to one another, a resolution to difficulties in the system even conflict relationships can emerge. This method is being used all over the world now, in teaching and conflict resolution and consulting, as well as in therapy.

This Retreat offers an immersion in this work and teaches an approach to it that will increase your effectiveness, even in what you are presently doing. In addition, there are a number of things you will learn that you can immediately apply to your conflict resolution work. And you will experience a deeper exploration as well.

Francesca Boring is enrolled in the Shoshone Nation, and is herself bi-cultural. She has taught in the U.S., Canada and Germany and is the author of Feather Medicine: Walking in Shoshone Dreamtime: A Family System Constellation. She brings her heritage the aboriginal knowing field with her in this work, and it is powerfully beneficial.
