In this episode of Constellations and All That, Tracy sits down with South African family constellations facilitator, shamanic practitioner, and diviner Robyn Fergus.

 How ancestors guide healing 
 The difference between divination and family constellations 
 Shamanic practices within constellation work 
 The role of drums, animals, and nature in healing 
 Powerful constellation exercises that create lasting transformation 
 Why healing isn't about fixing—but restoring balance and order

What if children's behaviour is inviting us to look beyond what's happening on the surface?

In this episode, Tracy is joined by Helen Younan-Barrett, founder of The Family Systems Hub, mental health social worker, play therapist, Gestalt psychotherapist, and Family Constellations facilitator with more than 23 years of experience supporting children, parents, and families.

Together they explore how children's behaviour can often reflect the wider family system, why healing isn't about "fixing" the child, and how Family Constellations and play therapy can help uncover the hidden stories shaping family life.

Helen also shares her own journey as the daughter of Assyrian refugee parents, and how reconnecting with her family story and ancestry has transformed both her life and the way she supports others.

In this episode you'll hear about:

• Why children's behaviour is often communication rather than the problem
• How family patterns can influence emotional wellbeing across generations
• The connection between play therapy and Family Constellations
• Supporting both children and parents with greater curiosity and compassion
• Finding the gifts that can emerge from even the most difficult family experiences

In this episode of Constellations and All That, Tracy is joined by Aistė Samsonovaitė, a Family Constellations facilitator from Lithuania, psychologist, pilgrim, and a woman deeply devoted to ceremony, ancestral wisdom, and listening to the land.
Together they explore the profound relationship between ancestors, nature, belonging, and healing, weaving stories from Aistė's personal journey, her work with Family Constellations, and her experiences walking sacred paths around the world.
From hidden family stories and ancestral loyalties to nature constellations, sacred sites, and Indigenous teachings, this conversation invites us to remember that we are part of something much bigger than ourselves. The land, our ancestors, and the stories that came before us all have something to teach us when we take the time to listen.
In this episode, we explore:
• Nature and land constellations
• Ancestral healing and family stories
• Belonging, identity, and connection
• Sacred ceremony and relationship with the land
• Honouring ancestors—past, present, and future
• The wisdom that lives within our ancestral lines

What if the challenges you're facing didn't begin with you?
In this episode of Constellations and All That, I sit down with Fernanda Vitale to explore how Family Constellations can help us see our lives, relationships, and experiences through a different lens.
Fernanda shares her own journey into this work, the constellation that changed the way she understood her family story, and how systemic awareness has shaped her work with children, families, and young people.
Together, we explore how patterns can repeat across generations, what it means to take responsibility without blame, and why awareness can open the door to new choices.
In this conversation, we discuss:
• How Fernanda first discovered Family Constellations
• Generational patterns and unconscious loyalties
• Why awareness creates choice
• The difference between blame and responsibility
• How systemic thinking changes the way we see others
• The ripple effects of healing within families
• Why what we're carrying may not always belong to us
One of the most powerful ideas from this conversation is that many of the struggles, behaviours, and patterns we experience may be connected to something larger than ourselves.
Not everything starts with us.
Sometimes healing begins when we pause long enough to see the bigger picture.
