Description
Kaleidoscopic Constellations & the Sacred Language of Object Altars
with Kathleen Mandeville
There is a language beyond words—spoken in symbols, shadows, and the silent presence of what came before us. In this immersive workshop, we enter that liminal space through the art of object altars and the healing field of Kaleidoscopic Constellations.
We will work site-specifically, including material items in the space, geographic features of the place, flora and fauna of the eco-system, weather conditions, and/or the ancestral lineages of those who have been there. This practice allows heightened awareness of synchronicities and integrates them into the Field of the Constellation.
Many of us know Tweefontein Herb Farm as a beloved site that welcomes all, providing a meaningful context as we gather community in its landscape. Together in this space we will call in the wisdom of our lineages, illuminating inherited stories and soul entanglements. Through intentional placement of meaningful objects we create altars that speak the unspeakable, and honor what longs to be seen, released, or embraced.
In this sacred circle, we will:
Experience the subtle field of Family Constellations in an intimate, symbolic way
Learn to create personal object altars as portals of remembrance and resonance
Participate in ritual, guided constellations, and deep intuitive listening
Reconnect with ancestral gifts, patterns, and inner alignments ready to unfold
Bring with you:
A personal object (small item of meaning), an open heart, and a willingness to listen to the unseen
