Constellations and all that...

In this episode of Constellations and All That, Tracy is joined by Aistė Samsonovaitė, a Family Constellations facilitator from Lithuania, psychologist, pilgrim, and a woman deeply devoted to ceremony, ancestral wisdom, and listening to the land.Together they explore the profound relationship between ancestors, nature, belonging, and healing, weaving stories from Aistė's personal journey, her work with Family Constellations, and her experiences walking sacred paths around the world.From hidden family stories and ancestral loyalties to nature constellations, sacred sites, and Indigenous teachings, this conversation invites us to remember that we are part of something much bigger than ourselves. The land, our ancestors, and the stories that came before us all have something to teach us when we take the time to listen.In this episode, we explore:• Nature and land constellations• Ancestral healing and family stories• Belonging, identity, and connection• Sacred ceremony and relationship with the land• Honouring ancestors—past, present, and future• The wisdom that lives within our ancestral linesTo learn more about Aistė's work, upcoming workshops in Glastonbury and beyond, or to book an online session, visit soulfulancestry.com or connect with her on Instagram @aiste.constellations. I’d love to hear what resonates with you—drop me a message on Instagram @tracy.cartwright  and for more insights visit my website at tracycartwright.co.nz*** 🎙️ Want to join the constellation community or learn more?

What if the challenges you're facing didn't begin with you?In this episode of Constellations and All That, I sit down with Fernanda Vitale to explore how Family Constellations can help us see our lives, relationships, and experiences through a different lens.Fernanda shares her own journey into this work, the constellation that changed the way she understood her family story, and how systemic awareness has shaped her work with children, families, and young people.Together, we explore how patterns can repeat across generations, what it means to take responsibility without blame, and why awareness can open the door to new choices.In this conversation, we discuss:• How Fernanda first discovered Family Constellations• Generational patterns and unconscious loyalties• Why awareness creates choice• The difference between blame and responsibility• How systemic thinking changes the way we see others• The ripple effects of healing within families• Why what we're carrying may not always belong to usOne of the most powerful ideas from this conversation is that many of the struggles, behaviours, and patterns we experience may be connected to something larger than ourselves.Not everything starts with us.Sometimes healing begins when we pause long enough to see the bigger picture.Connect with Fernanda:Instagram: @vidaconnectingenerationsI’d love to hear what resonates with you—drop me a message on Instagram @tracy.cartwright  and for more insights visit my website at tracycartwright.co.nz***🎙️ Want to join the constellation community or learn more?

Kia Ora! In this episode of Constellations and all that…, I’m joined by Annie Cariapa, a teacher, supervisor, and practitioner in Family Constellations based in Bangalore, India. Annie brings decades of experience into her work, with a background in Transactional Analysis, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and regressive therapies. Her approach is deeply informed by both psychological frameworks and a lifelong connection to spirituality, one that has evolved beyond religion into a more expansive and experiential understanding. In this conversation, we explore the deeper path of constellation work beyond technique and into presence, maturity, and the philosophy of helping. Annie shares how constellation work cannot simply be explained, but must be experienced, and how true helping is not about fixing or rescuing, but about standing with what is. We speak about the importance of working without judgement, without taking from the client, and how giving everything and everyone a place can create profound shifts in the system. We also explore how much of what we carry may not be ours alone — how ancestral patterns, unconscious dynamics, and what has been excluded can shape our lives in ways we don’t always see. One of the most powerful threads in this conversation is Annie’s reflection on agreeing to what is, meeting life as it is, rather than wishing it were different — and how this becomes a doorway into deeper healing and a more grounded way of facilitating. If you are drawn to constellation work, or are walking your own path as a facilitator, therapist, or seeker, this conversation offers a deeper, more spacious way of seeing and being. Explore Annie's work:Website: www.spanda.asiaI’d love to hear what resonates with you—drop me a message on Instagram @tracy.cartwright  and for more insights visit my website at tracycartwright.co.nz**** 🎙️ Want to join the constellation community or learn more?

What if the challenges you carry aren’t just yours?Kia ora! In this episode, Tracy gently explores the concept of order within Family Constellations. One of the core foundations, alongside belonging and balance.When the natural order in a family system is disrupted, we can find ourselves feeling out of place, carrying too much, or repeating patterns that don’t quite make sense.Through stories, reflections, and a guided exercise, you’ll be invited to explore: The natural flow between parents and children  What happens when roles are reversed (and children carry too much)  How birth order, hidden or excluded family members, and past relationships can impact your life today  Why does everyone in your family system belong and have a place This episode includes a simple yet powerful experiential exercise, where you’ll map your own family system using everyday objects, helping you reconnect with your rightful place.When we find our place, something shifts.There is more ease. More clarity. More freedom to move forward.Take your time with this one, and if you can, listen in a space where you can fully engage with the exercise.I’d love to hear what resonates with you—drop me a message on Instagram @tracy.cartwright  and for more insights visit my website at tracycartwright.co.nz**** 🎙️ Want to join the constellation community or learn more?

In this week’s conversation, Tracy is joined by Kristina Dryža for a deep and thoughtful exploration of what happens when the structures we rely on begin to fall away.Together, they speak into the spaces many of us find ourselves in moments where certainty dissolves, familiar identities no longer fit, and life invites us into the unknown. Rather than rushing to fix or make sense of these moments, this conversation gently reframes them as meaningful thresholds.Kristina brings a mythic and archetypal lens to the discussion, sharing why stories, symbols, and ancient ways of understanding the human experience matter now more than ever. Tracy weaves this together with her lived experience and constellation perspective, exploring how meaning, ancestry, and belonging support us when logic alone is not enough.This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen, and consider how healing can emerge not from certainty, but from learning to walk alongside uncertainty with curiosity and respect.Kristina also references her TEDx talk, “Archetypes and Mythology: Why They Matter Even More So Today”, which beautifully complements this conversation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2o4PYNroZBYIf you are navigating a season of not-knowing, questioning old narratives, or sensing that something deeper is asking for your attention, this conversation offers a spacious place to rest and reflect.Connect with Kristina:IG:  @kristinadryzaI’d love to hear what resonates with you—drop me a message on Instagram @tracy.cartwright  and for more insights visit my website at tracycartwright.co.nz**** 🎙️ Want to join the constellation community or learn more?

Jill speaks to the importance of humility in the work, the responsibility of the facilitator, and the subtle yet powerful ways ancestral systems continue to move through us.Together, they reflect on the living nature of the field, the difference between doing and allowing, and why depth, ethics, and reverence matter more than method. This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen more deeply, and remember that the field leads when we allow it to.For those who wanted to learn more about Jill’s work, teachings, and upcoming events, including her offerings into 2026, you can find further information at:Jill Purce - The Healing VoiceI’d love to hear what resonates with you—drop me a message on Instagram @tracy.cartwright  and for more insights visit my website at tracycartwright.co.nz****🎙️ Want to join the constellation community or learn more?
