A Jam-Packed Weekend
After a very full week of private practice I spent Friday afternoon reviewing the transcript of an interview of me by psychotherapist and health journalist Nicholas Cimorelli. He titled the 60 minute interview Focalizing: An Energy Psychology for the 21st Century; a transcript is available by simply clicking on the preceding title. I was pleased with the outcome and look forward to the interview in a pod-cast format on this web site in the next week or so for folks to listen to or download.
When that was done my partner Elias & I went uptown to set-up for Saturday’s Family Constellations & Focalizing workshop. I’m pleased to report that the workshop was a huge success. In my introduction, I placed our work in a Focalizing context and Cristina Casanova and Jan Crawford did about seven very moving “constellations” with our 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).
In the ongoing power of this Family Constellation healing methodology (I unknowingly expanded on the constellation I did and blogged on 11/06 concerning my dad(s), on Sunday afternoon we went to Long Island to have lunch with the 91 year-old dad that raised me. It was a brief visit as I had evening plans in the city. Just before leaving, my dad called me aside and honored me with a very private gift that was beyond anything I could have ever expected, and I was deeply touched. This Bert Hellinger Family Constellation work just keeps going, (it’s subtle & powerful) like the Eveready rabbit!
Sunday evening I went to a meeting with some of the Institute for Authentic Process Healing (IAPH) community members. It was intended to be a planning meeting and I found myself observing, as well as participating in our process. We planted seeds for some new events and necessary fund-raising, but that was not the most significant part for me. The meeting provided me with a new direction for the community as it is emerging and I have been allowing it to evolve and sharing it with community members as I am able with very enthusiastic responses. This is the same twenty-two year old community that has supported my research and I am forever grateful to the group and individuals. I’ll share more on this as it materializes.
This weekend I rest, reflect, integrate and continue my sharing process.
Enjoy the best of spring, Michael
