Grandiosity

[Bud Weiss]

It's great to have you in here mixing it up again James. Hopefully we'll get
a good limerick soon. I love your idea.
I would expand it a bit and ask that there be a transgenerational
Constellation done with each of the 4 having a constellation ala the work of
John L Payne see www.johnlpayne.com or Francesca Mason Boring see
www.allmyrelationsconstellations.com  . each of them could select 3 or 4
persons from their social atom who they would like to be there to assist
them as the group resources for the knowing field.  That would be so moving
if it could be video taped and would open up so much healing for people all
over the world.  A friend of mine whose family background is KKK has become
one of the leading people in the US bringing Dr. Malidoma Some's Dagara
Culture of West AFrica here - www.malidoma.com  and it has been so healing
for those involved coming to our village www.eastcoastvillage.org I have
conducted some psychodrama type sessions there as part of grief rituals and
ancestralization.  A few years ago, I led a workshop at the psychodrama
convention in San Francisco using the Dagara Grief ritual in a psychodrama
context and those attending were amazed at the power of ritual in that
context. I wonder if others have used ritual specifically in the psychodrama
context. Actually, psychodrama itself is ritual.
Constellation work of course owes a great deal to psychodrama  and Hellinger
acknowledges this.  However, even more is owed to the great ancestral
traditions of Africa. No one can be left out without consequence and so the
healing needs to be for everyone in the long run.  I have appreciated the
efforts of Ron Anderson and Karen Carnabucci to explicate the similarities
and differences between psychodrama and constellations and have been in the
process of attempting to add to their wonderful efforts in this regard.

I am sponsoring a Constellation workshop with Francesca Mason Boring in the
Berkshires at the end of this month. She is from the Shoshone tradition and
is a powerful spiritual presence having contributed much to the
Constellations field. I am attaching the flyer as well as her article,
*Constellation
as Ceremony*,  written for the international Journal of
Constellations, *Knowing
Field *
