Hello! I’m Sonya
Family Constellations Facilitator – Transgenerational Therapist
Welcome to Ancestral Constellations, a centre for Diaspora Transgenerational Practice. I am Sonya Welch-Moring also known as Makhosi Nyoni. My therapeutic transgenerational practice began over 14 years ago when I walked into my first constellations circle and was inspired to continue learning.
Since then Ancestral Constellations has evolved into a practice that offers courses and workshops. It is a place of ancestral learning and therapeutic healing, a safe space to connect and be inspired to ReMember and integrate‘ other ways of knowing’ and older more traditional healing practices.
Over the past 10 years I have been developing the Ancestral Constellations approach as a transgenerational healing process focused on Diaspora communities of colour. The intention is to integrate Western systemic concepts and ancestral indigenous beliefs to create a distinctive Diaspora therapeutic practice.
My Approach & Values
Ancestral Constellations are a brief, solution focused, therapeutic and ancestral practice exploring the Transgenerational Lineage of Diaspora families of colour. If we widen the approach to include a community perspective that includes ‘those who have gone before us’, we can view ancestral linage as inter-related relationships. These then recyle over generations, past, present and future.
In many African, Asian and other ancestral indigenous communities, the individual is indivisible from the community. In Diaspora family life ancestral legacies, are passed down the generations as patterns of recurring relationships. Often they are the result of unresolved past traumas like slavery, colonisation or migration, that then shape the current family systemc causing conflict and disharmony.
