What if you could navigate the undercurrents of your family, business, and even your own self, to create harmony in all aspects of your life? Today, we invite you on an insightful journey with Ivan and Mariana Polic, founders of the Systemic Approach Institute, as we traverse the intriguing landscapes of the Systemic Field and family constellation.

We unfurl their unique backgrounds, their previous healing practices, and how they've integrated systemic work into their business. We discuss the importance of mastering one's mind and emotions, and the role systemic work plays in understanding the meaning behind an individual's emotions and behavior. 

We delve into the complexities of belonging to multiple worlds, the challenge of compartmentalization, and the recognition of the 'boogeyman' that each system houses. We explore how the language of systemic work can be made common and simple, while still holding its depth and power. Finally, we recount the touching story of how Ivan and Mariana met amidst the chaos of war, their journey to the U.S., and their unwavering courage and strength. Join us for this enlightening conversation, and take a step further in understanding the intricacies of systemic work and the profound impact it can have on your life.

Hoy nos acompaña una invitada especial: una produtora de talleres de conservación a familiares, facilitadora y grafóloga. Nos comparte su historia de vida, su lucha con una enfermedad que la condujo a explorar terapias alternativas y la forma en la que sus meditaciones se diferencian de las tradicionales.

Nuestra invitada nos ilustra cómo podemos hallar y aceptar nuestra situación de una forma mucho más amable, incluso cuando esta es dolorosa. Profundizamos en el coraje que se necesita para abrir nuestra dinámica familiar y cómo esto puede considerarse un acto divino.
