  • THE ANCESTRAL & COLLECTIVE BODY

    SYSTEMIC CONSTELLATION WORK (SCW)

    For the things you understand—and still can't change.

    What becomes visible when we stop treating issues as an individual problem and place it in a larger field of relationship, family, ancestry, history, culture and belonging?

    SCW supports a process of investigation into any system to make visible the patterns, relationships, and ancestral contracts that elude regular cognitive inquiry.

    With depth of time, all systems experience rupture. SCW offers the opportunity gather information about the rupture - perhaps even its source - within a system & initiate a mending.

    SCW two containers:
    Traditional circle
    1-1 tabletop / mat work constellation

    Let's invoke.

my work is mediated by the wisdom of the body

Embodiment

is a deep settling into our intrinsic knowing, our sovereign self in relation to our lineage & the more than human world. It is a courageous act of meeting the naked heart of what emerges & choosing to walk in relationship with curiosity & care. By engaging in the wisdom of our human body we are re-membered to Her/Earth’s body as a planetary citizen. This movement invites resonance - a wave that places one in a healthy field of belonging - to self, other & the great mystery.

Meet me.

“I have found Monique brings peace in her healing. Calm, open, warm & inviting. Meeting & connecting in the unique maps of people’s realities is a great strength in Monique’s intuitive abilities in healing. I have worked through many forms of western medicine (prescriptions & therapy) which have helped me immensely, but now I am at a stage where I long for healing, beyond that of problem solving. Interestingly, as I soon as I had made this a personal intention, Monique appeared & we began our work together.

I recommend Monique for those who are ready to heal.”
