Deep Loyalty to the Family System with Marina Toledo
Posted on
Marina Toledo is Founder of the Hellinger Institute, Canada and a leading facilitator and trainer in Family Constellations, offering workshops and trainings internationally both in-person and online. She founded the Hellinger Institute in 2011, based on a vision to open hearts and facilitate reconciliation and transgenerational healing worldwide. We discuss the philosophy of Family Constellations and how unprocessed ancestral trauma continues on in the subsequent generations. Marina shares insights into the relevance of exclusion in the family system, the concept of the “orders of love”, and how this healing method uses the phenomenological approach. We talk about the various levels of conscience – individual, family & spiritual, working with what Hellinger called the knowing field of individuals and groups, and the connection to Rupert Sheldrake and morphogenic fields. Marina shares her first experience with Constellations, and how we can in fact constellate any issue relevant to us, which may have no apparent connection to the family. She also covers the importance of working with interrupted movements towards our mother, why we sometimes need to say “no” as a practitioner, and challenging circumstances that may arise during a constellation. She also describes the skills needed to do this complex and deeply moving work well.
Marina experienced her first constellation in 2002, and after years of participating in Constellations as a client in Europe and feeling significant shifts in her life, she felt called to bring this work to Canada where it was not well known. She began her training in 2009, and is certified by both Bert Hellinger and Sophie Hellinger from Hellinger Sciencia in Germany. In addition, she has studied with nine other trainers worldwide to gain an international perspective of this work, and she remains grateful to all of them. As a practitioner, Marina felt a calling to train others in this powerful methodology in order to further expand and extend the positive impact of this work.
