Introduction to Bert Hellinger's Family Constellations

Presented by: Gail Cloud
Friday, November 14, 7:00 - 8:30 pm
The Studio at the Center
7647 Delmar Blvd.

We are all connected to our family's systems in an unconscious, as well as conscious way. It is this unconscious way that binds us, with a blind love, to family members, past and present, through their suffering. This bonding love may cause us to invite disease, depresstion, anxiety, relationship troubles, and even addictions into our lives in an unconscious attempt to restore love and balance to our family systems. The dynamics of this larger family system lie beyond our awareness, yet their effect on our lives isprofound. Family constellations are atood to help us restructure our lives and untangle ourselves from the unconscious loyalties. This process reaches beyond the mind, replacing old images, in an instant, with a new image which can heal us at the cellular level.

Through lecture and demonstration we will:

     *Be introduced to BertHillingers Famil constellations
     *Observe and experience this phenomenological approach
     *Understand the role of family conscience in personal suffering, illness, and dysfunction
     *Experience the effectiveness of this tool as a modality for creating healing interventions for individuals, families, and group dynamics.

Gail Cloud has been a Chiropractic Physician for 20 years. She completed her training with Mark Wolynn and Suzi Tucker in 2007, and is trained facilitator in this phenomological approach to health. To read more about the work, check out: www.gailcloud.com and www.beh-genetics.com.

Nia is a multi-faceted fusion fitness, enjoyed by students worldwide. Formerly termed Non Impact Aerobics, Nia's acronym now stands for Neuromuscular Integrative Action. The word Nia in Swahili is said to mean "with intention." In Hebrew, Nia is defined as "subtle movement." Although students may find it challenging to remember Nia's catch phrases, the practice is fun and easy to ingrain in the sensory body.

Students are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing, kick off their shoes, move barefoot, and embrace a new way of getting fit. Each class will include a repertoire of moves from the dance arts, the martial arts, and the healing arts. Form and freedom are combined to help students discover how to appreciate moving their bodies in organic, unique ways. Though the teacher offers a blueprint for each class by engaging the students in a choreographed routine set to inspiring music, the student is encouraged to get connected to his/her own body. As the Nia class unfolds, one grows more confident in expressing oneself through a medley of moves, both fluid and strong. In addition, Nia classmates offer a wonderful opportunity to explore dancing, moving, and playing in community together!

The Nia teacher will "teach what you sense" so that students will be able to express what they sense. Sensation can be perceived through the bones, muscles, joints, skin, and energy bodies.

When we speak of sensation, we are speaking about what we feel in our bodies. These sensory voices from our bodies are guideposts calling us to recognize when we are in or out of alignment, moving too fast, pushing ourselves too hard, or perhaps not challenging ourselves enough. By learning to express what you sense, the end result becomes a deeper and more meaningful relationship between you and yourself, between you and the music, between you and your pleasure, between you and your classmates, and between good choices that lead to holistic personal healing.

Nia creates a growing kinesthetic awareness, promoting a feeling of aliveness and pleasure in the body. Nia compells students to want more! Perhaps that is why Debbie Rosas, the co- founder of The Nia Technique has said, "Nia is a lot like chocolate. You've gotta taste it!" Nia is a form of exercise perfect for all levels. Nia is a mind, body, spirit practice with purpose. Nia is meditation in action. Nia is medicine for the soul. Nia nurtures internal awareness. Nia is all these things and more. Nia is the joy of movement~ The dance of life!
