2026 | Alchemy of Reconciliation - A Family Constellations & Somatic Enneagram

The Intention

It is our human need to feel included and belong to our families, communities, and ourselves. The inward turn to innate belonging honors our basic human need to know and feel that we belong to the earth, life, and the life we were born to live—within ourselves and with each other.

Our retreat focuses on our conscious intention and attention to ourselves, as we are, and to each other, discovering what obstructs our growth and development.

Reconciliation of our ego’s ‘avoidance’ and ‘self-idealization’ is made possible by learning how to resource grounded presence and orient toward the avoidance.

Discernment is the foundational skill needed to realize that the idealization overtakes the whole of us. In this somatic retreat held over 6 days, we will be working with the Somatic Enneagram and Family Constellations 

Through Somatic Inquiry and practices, this retreat aims to delve deep, offering a space to reflect and discover what has been hidden from us due to unconscious, automatic defensive patterns.

Using Family Constellations work, we can unveil the ancestral unknown, and we can witness and experience the avoidance and the idealization that need to be seen, heard, understood, and included through legacies long held in our psyches.

Combining Somatic Inquiry and Family Constellations alongside the Enneagram map offers us a compassionately supported, holistic approach to healing the deeper wounds—ancestrally, emotionally, and somatically.

Combining these two very powerful approaches, led by Marion Gilbert and Hemla Makan-Dullabh, supports our journey into the defense system’s protective barriers and its energy-expensive, deeply unconscious cost to our lives.

Opening to the greater reality of who we truly are—through personal liberation that results from safe deconstruction and long-deserved healing—is the objective of this retreat.

What to expect?
