South-Africa – blog 3 – Where our ancestors walked

Photo: Susanne Hazen. Towerland. As you have read in my previous blogs, I was in South Africa for the last few weeks. I spent time in Towerland (Langeberg mountains) and Wilderness, among other places. This is one of the areas of the San – the oldest people in the world. They are descendants of theContinue reading “South-Africa – blog 3 – Where our ancestors walked”

South Africa – blog 2 – I Am of This Place.

I am of this place. What did I learn about this in South Africa? A journey I undertook in search for inspiration.

Looking for inspiration

I travelled to South Africa for new inspiration and will participate in the training week: I Am of This Place: Deepening Our Sacred Relationship with Life and with Land with Tanja Meyburgh and Sue Davidoff.
It is a week in which we will explore our sense of ‘belonging’ and nourish ourselves by connecting with the land through our senses, rituals, movement and land constellations.

Prior to this week, I first made a short tour through this beautiful country. The influence of the Dutch, who colonized the country here from the mid-17th century to the 119th century, is indelible and the impact of this period is still present. If you want know more – continue reading.

Life after the retrieving of soul parts

And what happens after a ritual in which soul parts are retrieved?

Soul loss and soul retrieval

In shamanistic traditions, it is stated that parts of the soul can separate from us and that this separation, this loss of soul parts, can be a cause of physical and mental illness.

The Wheel of the Souls

In the article “The Multiple Soul”, you have read that shamanistic traditions assume multiple souls. In my work, I distinguish the family soul, the tribal soul, the individual soul, and the universal soul. You can give the souls a place on the Wheel of the four directions, and the Wheel tells something about the development.Continue reading “The Wheel of the Souls”

Multiple souls

There is a belief that we are more than our body and that we also have a soul, which continues after the body’s death and returns to where it once came from.In shamanisticContinue reading “Multiple souls”

What is the effect of a family constellation?

What effect can a family constellation have on you as a participant? I will tell you more about it in this blog so that you can participate – well prepared – in a family constellation.

What (or who) is a representative, and what is its role during a family constellation?

I explained in my previous blog how a family constellation works: a participant (also known as a client) brings in an issue about which he or she wants to gain clarity. Based on that question, a facilitator gets to work during a family constellation. The representative is an important part of this process, and I will tell you more about that in this blog.
