A meditative walk on the life of the earth
Sun, Oct 25, 2:00 PM**Sunday 25 October \| 2–4pm** **Followed by Tea\, coffee & conversation \| 4–5pm** **Woodfield Pavilion, 16A Abbotswood Road, Tooting Common, London SW16 1AP** **What if we could experience the whole 4.6-billion-year story** **of the Earth in a single afternoon?** Join Soul Rewilding for an interactive journey through deep time – from the fiery birth of our planet and the first oceans, through the extraordinary emergence of life, plants and animals, to the very recent arrival of our own species. Along the way we’ll pause, reflect and experience something of the wonder of the Earth’s story through science, poetry, different spiritual traditions, conversation, simple ritual and encounters with the natural world. This isn’t a lecture. It’s an invitation to slow down and step out of the frantic timescale of everyday life – the emails, headlines, deadlines and social media – and enter the vastly deeper rhythms of the living Earth. There will be opportunities for quiet reflection and conversation, moments of playfulness and wonder, and time simply to notice and reconnect with the more-than-human world around us. At a time when it is easy to feel overwhelmed by what is happening to the natural world, this afternoon is also about hope. Deep time reminds us that we belong to an astonishing, resilient, creative living planet – and that our own story is still being written. Afterwards, please stay for tea, coffee and conversation from 4–5pm, and the chance to meet others interested in nature, spirituality and living more deeply connected lives. **Booking** There is no need to pay for Meetup membership to come along – simply join the Soul Rewilding Meetup group and book your place for the event. Come curious. Leave connected, hopeful and a little more in awe of the world beneath your feet. Please contact Soul Rewilding [https://www.soulrewilding.co.uk/](https://www.soulrewilding.co.uk/) directly if you'd like us to run an event for your community.
Systemic & Family Constellations Workshop
Thu, Oct 8, 6:30 PM**Systemic & Family Constellations Workshop** Making Making Peace with The Past - Creating a Better Future After our first sold-out workshop, we have released a new workshop. **About** Join us for a transformative evening workshop, "Making Peace with The Past - Creating a Better Future," where we will explore the profound impact of our early life experiences and family history on our present lives with Illi Adato. Understanding these influences is the first step towards creating a more fulfilling future. Through the Constellation process, we will address and heal painful imprints from the past in a small and intimate group. This powerful method allows participants to gain insights and release emotional burdens, paving the way for personal transformation and a brighter future. Join us for a weekend of personal healing and empowerment. Led by international facilitator and trainer of the work: Illi Adato, head of London School of Systemic & Family Constellations, this coming Constellations workshop will delve into how our past, family dynamics and early life events, shapes our current reality. **TICKETS:** **[https://dandelion.events/e/p3lp4](https://dandelion.events/e/p3lp4)** **What are Systemic Constellations?** The Systemic Constellations method is a unique therapeutic process of exploration of the forces that move us in life. Such forces are often appearing as difficulties or a sense of being ‘stuck’ in life, affecting our behaviour, relationships, career, health/wellbeing, or even financial circumstances. This method provides a three-dimensional ‘map’ of one’s life as it is at present. It is a simple yet powerful way to explore entanglements and blockages in our personal life and our family history. The method brings awareness and clarity into personal challenges by focusing the client on the root cause of such difficulties. Constellations provide an opening for a positive life shift and present ways for deep healing processes to occur. **What Happens in the Constellation Process?** The method uses workshop participants as ‘Representatives’ to stand in for key people in the client’s life such as family members, colleagues, partners, ex-partners, etc., sometimes ‘abstract’ concepts such as an emotion, country of origin, religion, or destiny are also represented. All participants are invited to take part as Representatives. Workshop participants often report (see reviews: [https://bit.ly/33Asprs](https://bit.ly/33Asprs)) experiencing profound insights into their own lives by simply witnessing the process, regardless of how they choose to take part. **Why does this Work?** Scientific research shows that the experiences of your ancestors can determine your behaviour today and affect future generations.\*\* Recent scientific research into DNA reveals that a component named epigenetics is embedding the effect of a traumatic experience by altering the genetic structure. It means that some of our behaviour patterns can be attributed to traumatic events in our family history. This notion has always been one of the guiding principles of Systemic / Constellations Therapy, a form of work that is dedicated to exposing and dealing with issues emerging from our family system. **Your Facilitator** Illi is an innovator in the Constellations field, having researched and developed several new techniques for applying Systemic Constellations, including HypnoConstellations™, Distant-Healing Constellations™ and Consciousness-Centred Therapy™. These methods offer simple ways to harness resources which are often unseen to support the individual awakening process through the healing of personal, systemic and collective traumas. He is a personal and group facilitator of Systemic Constellations, he created a unique Retreat Centre in Sicily to and as the Founder and Head of the London School of Systemic & Family Constellations he is a keynote speaker and a trainer of the method to students from all over the world. For more information: [LondonConstellations.co.uk](LondonConstellations.co.uk) / email: illi@LondonConstellations.uk **Feedback** It was my first time to observe family constellations. The experience was deeply healing, and transformative even just to watch the constellations. Illi held a safe, non-judgemental, deeply intuitive space, which allowed deep healing happen naturally. - Jia Yu The whole experience was very profound. Despite being incredible nervous, I was put at ease by lovely people around and accommodating and supportive host Illi. As a participant and issue holder I've gained clarity, understandings of "things" and how they relate and surprisingly experienced massive revelation in regards to my issue. It was also very educational as Illi managed to explain things. I also had fun and managed to laugh even when felt strong emotions. I believe my healing started already as participant... and continued deeper as issue holder. I am very grateful for the work Illi is doing and I am pretty sure I will be in touch again. - Alena A Truly Transformative Experience I recently had a constellation therapy session and was genuinely surprised by how deeply it resonated with me. The experience helped me gain clarity on emotional patterns I didn’t even realize were affecting me. It was both grounding and eye-opening. The facilitator - Illy held space with such compassion and skill, making me feel completely safe and supported throughout the process. I left the session feeling lighter, more connected, and with a sense of peace that’s hard to describe. If you’re looking for something that goes beyond traditional talking therapy and taps into deeper layers of understanding, I highly recommend giving constellation therapy a try. I’m so grateful for the insight and emotional release it brought me. - Merita **Venue** 7 Newcourt St, London, NW8 7AA, England The Kailash Centre is a non-profit organisation, donating all proceeds to the Tibet Charitable Trust. **Your Organiser** Callum Browne Callum is the Marketing & Community Manager for The Psychedelic Society and a life-long learner in the exploration of consciousness and the mystical arts.
