I choose trees to represent Family Constellations because they mirror the way humans are connected. In a forest, each tree stands in its own space, yet beneath the surface an unseen network of mycelium allows them to communicate, share nutrients, and support one another. What appears to be a collection of individual beings is, in truth, a living system of relationship and exchange.
As humans, we too, live within networks that are largely invisible—emotional bonds, unconscious loyalties, and inherited patterns that live beneath the surface of our awareness. These connections come from our families, our parents, and the generations that came before them. Much like the roots and fungi beneath the forest floor, these inherited dynamics quietly shape our responses, our identities, and the way we move through the world.
From our lineage we inherit tremendous gifts; strength, resilience, creativity, & wisdom. We also inherit trauma; unresolved grief, patterns of fear, or burdens that were never ours to carry. These pass down not because anyone intended it, but because what remains unacknowledged in one generation often seeks expression in the next, as if life itself is urging the system toward equilibrium, a sort of Cosmic Order we have yet to fully understand.
Family Constellations invites us to reveal these underground networks. It helps us see what lives below the surface—what has been absorbed, entangled, or carried across generations—and in doing so, it offers us the possibility of healing. A forest thrives when its ecosystem is healthy and interconnected, we flourish when we understand our place within our family system and bring light to what has long remained unseen.
