Alchemical Constellations: A Retreat for the Living and the Dead

November 02 - November 05, 2023

Emily Blefeld, LICSW

Dan Cohen, PhD

Love, Pleasure, Power, Freedom, Joy, Abundance, and Everything that Sparks Your Spirit is Calling!
The Seeing with Your Heart retreat is a deep dive into the primal mysteries of human consciousness. Alchemical Constellations give a newfound strength to the inner center, not one that comes from self-improvement but rather from reawakening to evolution’s eternal truths which have been nearly exterminated by cultural, societal, and family traumas. This happens first by engaging with ancestral presences to release the oppressive structures of guilt, shame, and fear that squeeze the juice out of life and second through the alchemy of the heart which transforms the decay of trauma into the food that nourishes the full flowering of your life. Seeing with Your Heart will open your body and mind to new pathways of creativity, purpose, passion, and community.
Retreat leaders, Emily Blefeld and Dan Cohen, are internationally renowned Systemic Family Constellations trainers and facilitators who are adept at traveling the unconscious pathways of hidden intergenerational patterns. With their guidance, you will gain insights into your family, your work, your doubts and dreams. Together, we will dive into the deepest parts of human experience where you can feel, in an entirely new way, how the living and dead remain in relationship and can together contribute to a deeper assertion of life. When you learn to see with your heart, you see yourself and the world in new light.
Unite worlds and bridge realities with a groundbreaking experience where the boundaries between the online and physical realms dissolve. Participants may join online from anywhere on the planet or in person at Menla, creating a truly immersive and dynamic international/local event. Working around the globe and around the clock, you may join this journey of self-discovery and growth no matter where you are. All will experience the magic of a unified event and be part of a global community on a shared quest for personal transformation.
