329: The Power of Family Constellations w/Rebecca Elswit

In this episode, Julianne chats with energy worker and facilitator Rebecca Elswit. Rebecca got her start in plant spirit medicine, group and interpersonal dynamics and communication, ancestral healing, and sexuality and relationships.    Today Rebecca and Julianne sit down to discuss Family Constellations, a unique system that allows people to work through multigenerational trauma by processing the challenges that individual human beings and their family systems have faced. A group of people; whether unrelated friends, peers, or even strangers; get together in service of one person's healing.   Rebecca shares the origins of Family Constellations as well as powerful stories about the wounds her clients have discovered, unlocked, and healed–and the impact that healing had on their lives.
