The constellation
Late afternoon a systemic constellation was proposed. Some chaos re-entered as some didn’t know what it was, but they were willing to give it a try. What was it that we had to represent? What was here the relevant system and the relevant issue?
We finally agreed on the following ‘elements’: the future, consciousness, community, the holding back, inner knowing, the pain of the world, leadership and action. These were all elements that had been part of many conversations the days before. As we were all representatives with one facilitator nobody was there to record it in any way. We all felt the need to harvest and even when it got late in the evening we gathered to share our basic insights; they were so rich! And I’m sure I don’t understand them all so far!
I probably will post the whole learning later on, but I sit now with one ‘event’ in the constallation that I’m wondering about. At a certain point there was a strong message from Inner Knowing to go to Leadership and to support it. She went to stand next to Leadership and they gave hands. It was obvious that it supported Leadership in a very good way. I’m puzzled about how to translate that into my daily life…
I’m aware as I am writing these postings about the gathering that the other participants can and will have a total different story to tell. I was only one part of this collective Being that had it’s own wisdom and cycles. I can only describe it trough my own lense.

How do we marry the individual harvest with the collective harvest? How to we use one to make sense of the olther and build feedback loops from one to the other?
How to we facilitate these realms to undertake a learning relaionship with each other?
I’m interested in this idea of a constellation, and noticing the taxonomy you developed to make sense of your experience. It is not intuitive as an outsider, but it brings me to inquiry about the interrelationship between these elements, it makes me want to draw a map. It becomes a poem that invites me to make sense and meaning:
the future, consciousness,
community
the holding back, inner knowing,
the pain of the world,
leadership and action
A haiku of work work together, a distillation of the essence which invites a rebirth, a reflowering of meaning and intentio…the convergence that harvests insight to invite inquiry into the new breath.
Lovely!
