Emerging Beyond Inherited Silences

Yoga nidra descends into the body and unconscious; systemic & family constellations work with what emerges in the ancestral field. This in-person workshop is a guided experience with these two transformative techniques to bring our authentic self and true voice into the light.

Most of us carry inherited silences. Unspoken rules about who gets to speak, who holds authority and who is allowed to be seen – absorbed early, stored deep in the body and the unconscious, and passed down through family and ancestral lines.

This in-person workshop uses the complementary practices of yoga nidra and systemic constellations to bring these hidden dynamics into the light. Moving gently between states of deep rest and open inquiry, you will explore three threshold questions:

• What stops my voice – and what would it feel like to express myself freely?
• Where did I learn that my knowing wasn't enough – and what does genuine inner authority feel like?
• What unconscious beliefs keep me invisible – and what would it feel like to be authentically seen?

This is not a performance or workshop aimed at doing more or being more. It is an invitation to meet the parts of yourself that have been waiting – in the body, in the field, in the lineage – for permission to emerge. It is suitable for those seeking to increase comfort with public visibility, and beneficial for anyone wanting to live life more authentically.

Developed and facilitated by Grainne McAnallen and Andrea Langlois, this workshop invites you into a profound experience of conscious connection to self and others. Book now.

The approach:

Yoga nidra, the practice of conscious sleep, is practised to guide you below the threshold of ordinary waking mind into the hypnagogic state where unconscious material becomes accessible. You need no prior experience of yoga or meditation.

Systemic & family constellations offer a way of seeing and working with the invisible forces that shape how we move through the world - loyalties, exclusions, silences and strengths that run through families and ancestral lines. In this workshop, constellations are used as a contemplative inquiry practice, working both individually and as a group field. No prior experience is needed; the approach is gentle and strengthening.

Together, these two practices create a rhythm that is the heartbeat of this workshop: Yoga nidra descends into the body and the unconscious; constellations work with what emerges in the relational and ancestral field. Each session moves from the inside out.

What you will gain:

• A visceral, embodied understanding of the patterns that have shaped their relationship with speaking, authority, and being seen
• Direct experience of yoga nidra as a tool for accessing the unconscious
• Insight into how family, ancestral and societal dynamics have shaped their inner landscape
• A renewed sense of permission – to speak, to know, to be witnessed
• A community of people engaged in the same honest inquiry
• Practices and awareness they can continue working with after the day

Who this is for:

This workshop is open to all - no prior experience of yoga nidra, meditation or constellations is required. It will be particularly meaningful for anyone who:

• Feels there is more they want to say or contribute, but something holds them back
• Is drawn to understanding the unconscious roots of how they show up in the world
• Is navigating a transition - personal, professional, creative, or spiritual
• Is interested in ancestral and systemic approaches to inner work
• Has a sense that their relationship with visibility, speaking or authority deserves deeper attention
