I’m just back from a month in Guatemala, a mixture of traveling, training and facilitating workshops. I return with wonderful new tools to integrate into my practice, plus wonderful memories of a powerful and impactful trip – one that I will treasure for ever.
The trip included perhaps the most dramatic experience of my life: a huge (6.5) earthquake shaking our cliff-top studio for over a minute.
It happened right in the middle of a Constellation, at exactly the moment when a client contacted a part holding their long-repressed anger….
I also had the good fortune to witness my sister Rachael facilitating TRE workshops (in Spanish) with a Mayan women’s weaving co-operative. One even gamely did it in traditional dress!
Rachael said of the experience: “There was much laughter and a request for 
more. I’m so glad to have been able to give something valuable to strong but overworked and poor women. Also touched at their trust in a stranger with a strange thing to offer”.
She’s being modest – they loved it. There were a few tears, much curiosity and laughter, and amazement at how calm they felt afterwards, reporting how certain pains had eased or even disappeared.
I can only imagine what a challenge it must have been to deliver the workshop in a new language to a new culture – yet Rachael was simply warm and confident. I’m so proud of her, and look forward to working with her at my March retreat, where she will be again be assisting me in the Constellations, as well as offering a session of TRE. Join us!
