Recently we hosted the first in a series of Special Saturdays called Family Constellations & Focalizing:  Energy Psychologies for the 21st Century.  The goal was to learn how to heal "stuck-ness" (systemic, energetic and/or emotional) from trauma and life events such as: Abuse &/or Neglect, Adoption trauma, Addictions Aftermath & Stage Two Recovery, Legacies of the Holocaust, war and/or displacement, & Serious or Catastrophic Illness & Loss. We used Bert Hellinger's Family Constellations to delve into the matrix of a newer energy psychology called Focalizing. Contemporary and ancient wisdoms leading us to deeper truths within were also experienced.

We are pleased to report that the workshop was a huge success. Dr. Michael Picucci opened by placing our Family Constellation work in a Focalizing context and Cristina Casanova and Jan Crawford did about seven very moving "constellations" with twenty participants. The participant response has been very affirmative with a big email buzz following the event and asking for more. One participant, Robbie Tucker wrote of her experience the following day in a workshop review (click bold to read).

The following day we had an Institute community planning meeting that was warm, invigorating and inspiring. We decided to plan some additional Special Saturday workshops (similar to above) for the fall and to also include a weekend retreat at The Garrison Institute to share more fully the benefits of the various somatic and energy psychologies. We also planted seeds for fund raising initiatives that will help continue to support this web site, provide seed money for workshops & retreats and to become financial supporters and partners with aligned organizations such as the Institute for Noetic Sciences, The Garrison Institute, and others who share our mission.

The Institute web site recently sent out its Spring/Summer newsletter; download it here. Please sign up to receive your own future copies of future issues here.

Recently, Radio Health Journalist and Practitioner Nicholas Cimorelli interviewed our cofounder Michael Picucci and the dynamic discussion is now an audio podcast (and discussion segments) and can be heard at the latter's web site any time. There is also a transcript to download for those who prefer reading: The interview was titled Focalizing:  An Energy Psychology for the 21st Century (click bold title for podcast).
