Free Online Introduction to

Inherited Trauma & Family Constellations

with Bruce & Leah Kalish, MA

Sunday Jan 26th 2025

12 – 2 pm PT       

Join us for a free online introduction to the dynamics and symptoms of inherited trauma and how Family Constellation work offers a proven way to uncover and effectively address those issues. Learn how you can differentiate from the wounds of your system and, instead, orient to its love and strength.

We will discuss how trauma causes epigenetic adaptation and thus is inherited via cellular information across generations. We will also outline the history and principles of Family Constellation work, as developed by Bert Hellinger, and how it is utilized to end the cycle of inherited trauma.  Our intention  is to illuminate with examples the trans-generational impact of trauma as well as how to resolve it such that you leave with a new perspective on your own recurring issues and negative patterns.

Group Workshop

Inherited Trauma & Family Constellations

with Bruce & Leah Kalish, MA

Feb 23, 2025
10 am – 4 pm PT
$175

Research in epigentics and neuroscience confirms that just as hair, eyes, and body type are inherited, so are the emotions, losses, and fears from traumatic events experienced by our family.  Left unresolved, the incomplete feelings from past trauma become the negative patterns and problems of the next generation. Financial, emotional, behavioral and relational issues are often rooted in this unconscious entanglement with what was too painful, shameful, or heartbreaking for parents or grandparents to process or discuss.

In our Family Constellation workshop, we gather in a circle in service to the health of ourselves, our families and humanity.  We use our issues as doorways to seeing the unconscious entanglements that perpetuate suffering. Once revealed, these entanglements can be unraveled and differentiated from such that we can individuate and choose to express and align with the good and strengths of our family systems rather than the traumas. When past traumas and feelings are identified and the impact understood, you gain insight and compassion. You see what happened and how your family members were affected. You also see that what happened was never personal and that the story you have had about it only limits you. In holding it differently, the cycle of suffering can stop. New possibilities arise and you are free to do life differently.
