After leading the Story Medicine Writers Summit and months of beautiful, creative output, I knew my soul was whispering: It’s time to receive.
So 3 weeks ago, I flew to Mexico for the International Systemic Constellations Association Conference ~ my first professional gathering in this field after four years of study and three years of facilitating. There were 150 attendees from over 20 countries: Chile, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, the U.S., Greece, India, Australia, and beyond.
For one full week, I wasn’t teaching. I wasn’t leading. I was learning ~ and it was heavenly.
There’s something profoundly restorative about stepping away from our everyday roles to sit in circle with peers, to learn from global voices, and to simply listen. I translated for one session (because, believe it or not, I love translating ~ it feels like sacred service!), but mostly I allowed myself to soak it all in: the wisdom, the stories, the healing, the community.
Between sessions, my husband and I walked the colorful streets of Mérida, took the new Mayan train, swam in Puerto Morelos, and met so many kind, thoughtful people. It reminded me that learning doesn’t just happen in classrooms, it happens through the people we meet, the languages we speak, the beauty we let ourselves notice.
Here are a few photos from our trip:
