Constellations and all that...

What happens when we begin to listen not only to our minds, but to our bodies, our hearts and the stories carried through our lineages?

In this beautiful conversation, Tracy Cartwright chats with Aleksandra Shymina, who has been practising Family Constellations personally and professionally since 2013. Her work has expanded through classical constellations, Systemic Ritual, shamanic work and transpersonal psychotherapy, with a deepening focus on our relationship with ancestors and the wisdom held within our lineages.

Aleksandra shares how her own journey into ancestral healing led her to Family Constellations, what the work taught her about trusting the intelligence of the body, and why she sees healing as something that can ripple through generations.
They explore ancestral pain and wisdom, belonging and exclusion, resourcing before intervention, heart wisdom, meditation, relationships, giving and receiving, and the possibility of becoming more conscious of how we influence those who come after us.

A thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation about tending to what has been forgotten, listening more deeply, reconnecting with our bodies and ancestors, and considering what becomes possible when we attend to ourselves and our lineages.

In this episode of Constellations and All That, Tracy Cartwright sits down with family constellations facilitator and spiritual coach John Harold Moore for a wide-ranging conversation about family patterns, inherited stories, the knowing field, and the possibility of seeing our lives differently.

John shares how he first discovered family constellations in 2012 and how an experience in his very first constellation changed the direction of his life.

John also shares a deeply personal story about his grandmother and the shame he felt he had inherited, as well as a powerful constellation experience involving his father that helped him reconnect with a different memory and a different possibility around being fully himself.

The conversation also moves into the mysterious experience of the knowing field, trusting what unfolds rather than trying to control it, and learning to release our attachment to how we think things should happen.

And then there's John's wonderfully unexpected story about his seven years performing at Walt Disney World and how that experience helped a painfully shy person become comfortable standing in front of hundreds of people.

At the heart of the conversation is a beautiful question:

What if we could tell a different story about what happened to us and move forward from a different place?

A warm, honest and sometimes funny conversation about family, belonging, memory, healing, trust and the stories we choose to carry.

Listen in and see what resonates for you.

In this conversation, Tracy Cartwright is joined by Karin Dremel, M.T.S., a systemic traumatologist and heart-centred systems constellator, for a rich exploration of trauma, Family Constellations, embodiment and the many systems that shape us.

Karin brings decades of embodied, somatic and systemic work to the conversation, drawing from her experience with developmental and inherited ancestral trauma, Somatic Experiencing®, Hakomi, Rolfing®, Family Constellations and interdisciplinary studies. Her approach is grounded in what she describes as systemic imagination, trauma-sensitive presence and radical hospitality.

Together, Tracy and Karin explore “withnessing” what happens when we truly stay present with another person's experience, as well as nested trauma and the way our experiences can be shaped not only by our family, but by our early development, culture, institutions, history and larger systems.

Karin also shares her beautiful metaphor for trauma work: darning.

They talk about early developmental trauma, the parts of us that need protection and nourishment, finding the strong places we can anchor into, and how the resources of the present can help us meet what happened in the past.

A thoughtful and deeply human conversation about trauma, Family Constellations, connection, and the possibility of creating a new fabric from what has been torn.

In this episode of Constellations and All That, Tracy sits down with Monika Wyss, a Family Constellation facilitator, trainer and founder of Heart Sanctuary in Kuala Lumpur, to explore the experiences, relationships and family patterns that can shape our lives in ways we may not always recognise.

Monika discovered Family Constellations in 2001, an experience that opened the door to a lifelong journey of healing and self-discovery. Since 2008, she has been sharing this work through sessions, workshops and courses, helping people uncover hidden patterns and reconnect with their hearts. 

Together, Tracy and Monika talk about family connection, cultural expectations, inherited patterns, trust, belonging and the difference between caring for our families because we feel we have to and doing so from love and choice.

They also explore how Monika's work has evolved through living and working across different cultures in Asia, what she has learned along the way, and why Family Constellations has become much more than a modality for her; it has become a way of living and seeing the world.

It's a warm and thoughtful conversation about family, healing, curiosity, trust, belonging and what it means to truly live from the heart.

In this episode of Constellations and All That, Tracy Cartwright is joined by Robi Moore, a therapist, psychedelic therapist, educator and Family Constellations facilitator whose work supports mental health professionals to move towards a more organic, connected and felt-led way of being.
Tracy and Robi explore the fascinating connections between psychedelics, plant medicine and Family Constellations, including what can happen when we begin to turn towards the things we may have been unable to face.
Robi shares his experience working with psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and the importance of thoughtful preparation and integration. They talk about plant medicines including psilocybin, ayahuasca, iboga and wachuma, as well as Tracey’s own experience with cacao.
The conversation also moves into ancestral wisdom, the morphic field and something that sits underneath much of Robi’s work, learning to listen within, rather than constantly looking outside ourselves for answers.
A rich and thought-provoking conversation about psychedelics, plant medicine, healing, consciousness and reconnecting with what we already know deep within ourselves.
