Constellating on Country : A Weekend Retreat

🌿 Constellating on Country 🌿
An Embodied Weekend Retreat for Connection, Clarity and Possibility

Dates: November 21-23, 2025
Location: 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 on the land. 

This retreat invites you to step outside the everyday and into the wider field of connection. We’ll constellate under open skies, share time in nature, cook and eat together, and be in community.

Systemic constellations are a powerful way to explore the invisible dynamics shaping our inner and outer worlds. Through this embodied group process, we gain insight into patterns held in our families, relationships, work, and wider social fields—offering clarity, movement, and healing.

_____________________________________________________________

✨ This retreat is for anyone feeling the call to:

• Explore personal or ancestral patterns in a supportive field

• Reconnect with nature as guide and witness

• Gather in circle with others navigating change

• Rest into rhythms that allow what’s hidden to emerge

You’ll be held in a warm, welcoming space as you move toward greater clarity, wholeness, and possibility. No prior experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to explore.

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

"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

"My experience of the Systems Constellations event with Viv and Jax was of being warmly welcomed into a quality of connection and relationship with a group that allowed for a depth of personal exploration and of celebration. I left the session feeling embodied and grounded in my being and delighted from the experience of being closely connected and supported by the community. Thank you."
– Johanna, Facilitator
