When Nadia first told me she is going to offer Constellations training, we were sitting at St James beach. Thats a place of Holy water for our people. The Camissa mountain waters run into the Indian Ocean here. The beloved tidal pool gently hosting the multicultural lineages of the Cape in salty embrace. It is a rare and precious moment.
I thought she was crazy then, and I still do a little but I also know her medicine. Pathfinders are often touched with a necessary dose of crazy. Her facilitation takes you to the holy depths, while gently holding you in warm, trauma-informed container. For a woman of colour to offer a training in the South African Constellations field, is beyond brave. It requires risking reputational, economic and collegial network support. To be frank, if you do not have a white skin and deep pockets, offering a training of this kind in South Africa can pull one into turbulent waters.
I am putting this post out to show my wholehearted support to Nadia and also to call on the collegial Systemic Constellations field, and the wider network of practitioners doing generational repair work. There are 25 days to go before this training starts, and there are still some places available.
Here are some ways to take action in supporting the 1st woman of colour from South Africa to offer training in Systemic Family Constellations:
- Share the information such that all places get filled!
- Consider sponsoring or part-sponsoring places for BIPOC participants.
- Sponsor transport or food costs
- Cover the venue hire fees
- Or get in touch with Nadia and ask her what she needs to feel adequately resourced and cared for while she is offering this training. Her website link in comments.
