Lincoln Center Campus from 1:00 – 5:00pm In this continuing series
following Bert Hellinger’s historic presentation at Fordham, Dan Booth
Cohen and Sophia Kramer-Leto present Constellations in the service of
reconciliation between conflicting groups. Experienced conflict
resolution professionals are all too familiar with the turning point
where negotiations fail, emotions flare, and dialogue breaks
down. Despite our best intentions to bring the parties together, the
legacy of past traumas and injustices impedes movement towards a
lasting peace.
The messages of healing received from our ancestral field often leave
us awed and moved to tears. Coming into tune with the past strengthens
our professional work and personal relationships. The workshop is open
to all. Constellations will be offered to those who: Have a direct
familial connection to war or ethnic conflict; and, Have a pressing
personal issue to work on. Space is Limited. Pre-Registration
Requested. For Registation please contact Dan Booth Cohen at 781-7158
