The wheel of the four directions is a map that offers clear and dynamic ways to recognize, re-connect and integrate different parts of ourselves that we tend to experience as closed, chaotic, overwhelming, or disconnected, which can cause confusion, anxiety, and lack of energy.
The wheel teaches us about the natural flow and continuity of life. And when we see and experience different parts of ourselves as natural qualities within the wheel of life, we open the space for movement, healing, and integration.
The Wheel
The wheel is one of the tools to work with the Systemic Ritual modality, which is a combination of Shamanism and Systemic constellation work, which is a very alive and dynamic modality for working with archetypical systems that can go from individual to very large collective experiences.
Systemic Ritual
In a Systemic Ritual, we bring into the same space different elements of a specific situation or system, we work with recognizing and building resources around it, and we create space for movement and healing to happen within the areas in this system where energy is held and cannot flow in its natural course.
In the ritual, every participant that is in the group room is contributing to the work – like in old traditional shamanic practices, where the community come together for healing one or more individuals, and in this way, the whole community is healed and everyone that is part of it receives something.
In this workshop you will:
° Learn the basic structure of the wheel – the connection between the four directions with the four seasons, moon cycle, and time of the day – in an experiential and very dynamic way.
° Create different archetypical wheels according to what participants will bring as inquiries, questions, and situations from their lives. These may be themes related to intimate relationships; sexuality; the connection between body/mind/emotions/spirit; connection with family and ancestors; work and creativity; completion and letting go of attachments; etc.
° Work with the Systemic Ritual modality where we will move through and experience different areas, qualities, and possibilities of a specific wheel.
Moving through the wheel
As we move through the Wheel and the Rituals we will work with an awareness of body, mind, and emotions, singing, rattling and drumming, dance and movement, voicing, and sharing.
The element of prayer – which creates a state of being that is receptive to the natural intelligence and healing power of the field – is a fundamental ingredient for the work.
This is a work of love, respect, and compassion towards ourselves, others, our human being community, and the whole of life.
Shamanism and Systemic Constellation
Systemic Ritual is a modality that was created by my teacher Daan Van Kampenhout, who has been practicing Shamanism since the age of 16 and worked very close to Bert Hellinger with Systemic Constellation.
His questions, inquiries, and experiences brought to life this very alive and dynamic modality for working with systems that can go from individual to very large collective experiences.
