Altar Constellations: Summer Bloom Series

In-Person Workshop

Toronto, ON

How do we bloom after seasons of contraction?

In this embodied ritual, we place the stories of our lives into the field—quietly, reverently, and with the support of nature, ancestors, and deep presence. We listen for what wants to move. We notice what’s ready to be witnessed.

Join Kat Gibson and Simona Irwin for this 2.5-hour altar constellations workshop—an embodied practice inspired by Family Constellations, whose roots are deeply influenced by the indigenous wisdom of the Zulu people in South Africa. Through quiet reflection and optional group processes, we place each piece of our story on an altar, honoring lineage, inviting in resources, and transforming blocks into allies. As the objects come to life, they mirror back our stories and entanglements, inviting us to witness and shift the energies at play. As the altar shifts and transforms over our time together, our own nervous system has the potential to shift as well, leaving us with a deep felt-sense of integration and readiness for what is growing in our lives.

Together, we’ll resource and constellate with the support of nature allies and ancestral wisdom, allowing what has been stuck to shift, and what is blooming to come forward with clarity and ease. As the altar transforms, so too may our nervous systems; offering a felt sense of integration and readiness for what is blooming in the summer of your life.
