ABOUT HORSE CONSTELLATIONS

WHAT IS A HORSE CONSTELLATION?

Family Constellation therapy originates from the work of Bert Hellinger. Hellinger first introduced this powerful, healing modality to the West in the early nineties. Since then, facilitators all around the world, have taken this work and integrated it into their own unique services. Consequently, there are constellations focused in areas such as business, nature, art, environmental and horses.  

Typically, Constellations are performed indoors. Constellations performed outdoors are known as Nature or Environmental Constellations. Sara was introduced to Nature Constellations by her teacher Francesca Mason Boring. Sara explored facilitating Constellations outdoors with her herd of horses. The results were profound.

Here’s an outline of a typical one on one, private Horse Constellation, in a three hour time frame. Horse Constellations are also facilitated in groups.

Arrival

Upon arrival, the client is offered refreshments and a comfortable place to sit within view of the horses. Sara burns sage and smudges herself and the client. Sara asks the client for their intention.

A Constellation offers healing and clarity for issues pertaining to; physical and mental health, challenging relationships, loss of a loved one, business/career decisions and soul purpose.

Once the intention has been clarified, Sara and the client go into the horse corral.

Entering the Field

From the client’s intention, an energetic field, referred to as the “knowing field,” becomes accessible through the following procedure.  

Once Sara and the client are inside the corral, Sara asks the client to choose a specific number of rocks and then place them on the ground. Each rock represents something to the client; whether it’s a person, animal, emotion or situation.

As each representative is explored, Sara asks the client to pay special attention to any feelings and sensations apparent to them in the moment. From here, the Constellation begins to unfold.

Trance and Portal

During the Constellation, the client may feel as if they are in a slight trance--their sense of linear time and space dissolves. We are in the present moment--the portal for healing to occur.

The Horses

During the Constellation, the horses who are naturally tuned into the “field,” become sensitive to the fluctuations and shifts in energy. For example, when a truth is revealed, the energy becomes congruent, making it a safe place for the horses to occupy. At this precise moment, the herd will come and surround the client, making gentle contact.

Nature and the Elements

The mountains, rocks, elements and wild animals, become part of the Constellation. Their presence and responsiveness to the Constellation, offers the undeniable sensation of our connectedness to all things. Sara likens this experience to being part of a musical symphony.

Closing

When all aspects of the constellation have been seen and honored the session is closed. Sara may give the client time and space to be with the horses to gently integrate their experience.

Post Constellation

Sara advises the client not to discuss details of their Constellation to anyone, until at least three days has passed. After such a sacred and profound experience, someone who is not familiar with this way of working, may un-intentionally “rain on their sacred parade,” with their questions, skepticism and/or doubt. There is a phenomenological aspect to this work which is not meant to be understood.

To get the most out of the Constellation, it is advised to let the experience go and instead begin to notice any shifts or changes related to the original intention. Sara will follow up with a check-in, via email or text, in which the client can ask questions and offer feedback.

FAQs

How will a Horse Constellation benefit me?
Having horses in your constellation is a memorable experience. The impact of relating with so many different beings affects us on a deep level. The presence of a horse in your constellation raises your frequency and brings potency to your healing. Being outdoors and in nature creates a therapeutic environment for your constellation.

Why use horses?
Horses divide their time between the spiritual and physical worlds and navigate the field with a natural ease. The horses at Silver Horse retreat, enjoy offering themselves to this type of service where they are allowed to move and interact freely of their own choice.

Do I need horse experience in order to have a Horse Constellation?
No experience is necessary. If you are scared of horses, a preliminary session is advisable to overcome any fears or traumas related to horses.

Will the horses bite or kick me?
No, check out the silver horse herd. They are experienced in this work, accustomed to people and are not aggressive. They may gently nudge you or rub their heads on you.

Do I need more than one session? Your first session may be extremely powerful. It’s suggested you come prepared by being well rested and clear from any alcohol or drugs. Sara may suggest you could benefit from more work but to give the initial session time to integrate, like a week or more.

However In an intensive such as the 24 hr detox, 2 day and 2 night or in the mentorship program, you’ll receive two or three Constellations back to back.
