Nourish Ourselves - Nurture Our Children
Welcome to my June blog where I describe three new offerings for connection, awareness and belonging. A 10-minute complimentary call will help to determine if one of these options may be suitable for you.
My new book is also now available, " A Guide to Family Systemic Constellations-A Day in the Life of a Workshop - Finding peace through releasing generational trauma."
Written with Dr Tony Byrne, it is a collection of prose, poetry and song, to demystify family constellations principles and language and to give some insight into this work of new perspectives so that love can flow in our lives for good health and wellbeing.
Check out my website for these three new offerings, book orders and more information at www.besidethesea.au

Family Systemic Constellations Cafe Circles offer a place to feel supported and to look at an issue that is currently affecting your connection with your child or with a child in your care. Karena will facilitate Cafe Circles as a mentoring session where together we will compassionately look at our challenging issues and struggles. It begins with a check-in, a meditation and then each person will have 30 minutes of time. In their 30 minutes we will look with a Family Systemic Constellation lens to uncover the root of the issue and aim to comprehend our struggles to gain a new perspective that will help us to go forward.
Combining principles of Occupational Therapy and Family Systemic Constellations experiential practice, Karena guides you through a therapeutic process that will empower you and the children in your care. In a compassionate inquiry and therapeutic process of Family Systemic Constellations we consider our current issues and situation that may be affecting us from showing up as our true self in our lives. We look at how best to walk beside a child as their parent, caregiver, therapist, or teacher.
The Latin word, educare, means to 'bring up' or 'to nourish'. To nurture or to nourish a child or ourselves is to provide an environment, knowledge, guidance or emotional support for all a child needs. To do this we also need to nourish ourselves.
When we become aware of our needs and nourish ourselves, we can better develop an ability to be observant and aware of our child's needs. When we are able to manage our own stressors and attune to children as parents, carers, therapists, teachers or learning support, we can be present with a child within their and our systems of family or community. We can create a place of belonging, honour a child's expression, care for their needs, guide their efforts and encourage their potential.
How do we engage effectively with a child who is struggling? How do remain present to ourselves, so that we can connect with our children when we are going through challenging times?
