My husband Sabin Howard and I have written a book called “The Art of Life.” (Due out in the fall.) It is about sculpture, his in particular and the historical tradition in general. It is also about the philosophy of art and of the figure. In reference to a chapter on how he taught art, he emailed me some pix of the drawings he did for his classes. He taught from the drawings and reiterated them in chalk on the blackboard. They are gorgeous, expressive, energetic–and didactic.
Systemic Family Constellations are grounded in a different tradition. Drawing from systems theory and indigenous traditions, they are a heart-centered, right-brained, intuitive approach for receiving the wisdom of the unconscious mind.In Constellations, the unconscious is not approached as an unruly, wild horse to be tamed or controlled. Rather, difficult emotions, destructive behaviors and debilitating symptoms are understood as a way of calling attention to someone or something that wants to be noticed. When the impulses and eruptions of the unconscious are understood, accepted, and loved, they cease being destructive.
The human heart is surrounded by gates that protectively close from the experience of trauma.
Thank you =)
