Tanja Meyburgh, Author of “Reclaiming Ancestors” shares the integration of her 23 years of working with family and systems constellations and ancestral healing from South African traditional healing perspective in this Masterclass for facilitators and leaders.

Tending our Ancestral Shrine speaks to our personal healing process and cultivating relationships both with our internal family as well as coming into rightful relationship with the ancestral field that extends into the generations before us.Teaching out of the constellations that arise in the group, Tanja will attend to embodiment and the ancient wisdom of natural laws, which will bring you an increased sense of resourcing and agency in your own life and in your work.

Family stories often tell us only of what calamities our ancestors experienced or survived, grand achievements or what our parents and grandparents wanted us to know.  You will be guided to embodied ways of both acknowledging the difficulty of the past and connecting with the gifts of your ancestors and the wisdom that lives on at cellular level in all of us from the ancient ones and collective archetypes.

 Moving beyond a Western lens and thinking, we explore our stance as seekers and systemic work facilitators in way that leads us towards a decolonized perspective of our internal and lived community of relationships. In centering this communal healing space as a source to healing we afford our ancestors and our village the reverence and dignity that is theirs to receive. Sometimes serious, sometimes playful, we will be building capacity to look gently, and to not look away to what faces us in the polarisation of the world today.

 Our days together will include movement meditation, embodiment, constellations, expressive arts and learning experiences.

 This masterclass has admission requirements:

• Participants are trained in constellations, at least for a full year
• Participants apply systemic work and systemic ritual in their practices

• deepen their knowledge of ancestral fields and a decolonized way of working
• take the next step in their self-knowledge and expanding their vision
•  are interested or working in multicultural settings and diverse communities
• expand their knowledge in working with the body and breath
