Constellating in Nature
An Embodied Weekend Retreat for Connection, Clarity & Possibility
November 21-23, 2025, Jervis Bay, NSW
Facilitated by: Jax Wechsler & Viv Sung (School of Being)
Join us for a gentle, spacious weekend of Systemic Constellations, nature connection, and deep listening in community.
This retreat invites you to step outside the everyday and into a wider field of connection—held by trees, sky, shared presence, and the wisdom of the body. We’ll constellate under open skies, share meals, gather around the fire (weather permitting), and explore what’s ready to be seen, felt, and gently released.
Systemic Constellations is a powerful, embodied practice that helps us illuminate the hidden dynamics shaping our inner and outer lives—across family systems, work, relationships, and wider social fields. Through this work, we come into deeper contact with what has been entangled or forgotten, opening space for clarity, movement, and healing.
We will be hosting 2 workshops over the weekend, exploring personal potential and our relationship with nature and climate change.

1 Constellations in Nature: Exploring Personal Potential
Saturday 10am – 3:30pm
A day of slowing down and attuning to the more-than-human world. Through embodied constellations and reflective practices in nature, we’ll explore what’s emerging in our own lives and what’s ready to grow. This session focuses on the inner ground—the personal awareness and alignment that enables us to move towards purposeful action.
2 Constellations for our Planet: From Grief, Hope to Action
Sunday 9:30 am – 1:00pm
An Experiential Workshop for Navigating Climate Change from Grief, Hope to Action guided by Joanna Macy’s Work that Reconnects and Systemic Constellations. This 3-hour session weaves constellation practice, ritual and reflection to activate active hope to help us meet the times we’re living in with care, courage and clarity.
We’ll move through the spiral of: Coming from Gratitude, Honouring our Pain for the World, Seeing with New Eyes, Stepping into Possibility.
Held gently in nature, this closing circle supports us to feel, witness and move forward with greater connection and capacity.

CONTRIBUTION
We’ve designed this retreat to be nourishing, spacious, and accessible—while also honouring the depth of the work and the energy it takes to hold it.
This is not a high-end, catered wellness retreat. It’s something more real: a small, land-based gathering where we constellate under the sky, cook together, and listen deeply—held by the field, each other, and the land.

WHAT PARTICIPANT’S SAY ABOUT OUR CONSTELLATION WORKSHOPS
“Wow! What an incredible experience. I went in without any expectations and not really knowing what Systemic Constellations was – only a vague idea based on what I knew about family constellations. I was just really curious. From the first practice, which was a simple paired practice, I was so surprised about how tangible the experience was. When we moved into the larger group constellations, seeing and experiencing how profound they were for us all – whether it was about a system we brought or a system that we were representing a part of. I saw how revelatory this practice is and what it can do for each of us. I will definitely be returning and have already shared this with others. Thanks to Viv and Jax for the space that they held for us and the guidance through the process.” – Jen, Coach
“Jax and Viv’s Systemic Constellations workshop was immensely valuable for me. Being able to feel, see and respond to my challenges in the cocoon of the intimate group and trustworthy container they generated has already shifted so much which seemed blocked. Together they tend with great care and skill to ensure an accessible, nourishing and deep learning environment is created. Impeccable in every way!” –Robyn, Facilitator & Coach
“The space felt safe, respectful, and supportive. I didn’t know what to expect going in, but found myself exploring openly alongside a group of curious, non-judgemental strangers who quickly began to feel like one connected energy. There was a sense of shared presence that was both surprising and moving. It was a powerful, memorable experience and offered me insights I’ll carry with me as I navigate my own personal challenges.” – Eileen, Designer
