Emily Blefeld, LICSW

Emily Blefeld, LICSW is internationally known as a trainer, Systemic Family Constellations facilitator, and psychotherapist. She specializes in supporting change-agents, visionaries and entrepreneurs to dismantle the old paradigms, outdated narratives, and ancient codes that hold them back and open to the full expression of their life’s purpose and soul’s path. Her intuitive gift of sight and knowledge of the hidden pathways of energy, consciousness, and vibration help clients trace inherited family and soul trauma through multiple generations or incarnations to release the burdens and blocks that interfere with living their truth, expressing their love, and embodying their passion. Drawing from two decades of experience and training, she combines expert psychotherapy, coaching and mentoring with Constellations, Energy Medicine, and Sound Healing to help free clients from the traps of limiting beliefs, patterns and habits. Emily holds a Masters of Social Work from the University of Minnesota and is certified in multiple therapeutic modalities including Systemic Family Constellations, Core Energetics, Energy Medicine, Yoga and the Synergy of Sound Healing, Compassionate Spirit Release, ADHD treatment, and Women’s Mystery Traditions. She has presented at the Omega Institute, Kripalu, the North American Systemic Constellations Conference and served on the faculty of the North American Constellation Intensive. In addition to her private practice, she regularly travels throughout the US and internationally, including presenting training and workshops in Ireland, Scotland, Norway, Sweden, Hawaii, Hungary, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and Brazil.

A former Strategic Planning consultant for the Director of the Los Alamos Laboratory, he pivoted away from weapons’ research to become a founding member of the City of Cambridge Peace Commission and a leader of Children of War. He guides clients and students to dive deep into the sources of their violent and hostile urges and emerge initiated into the wisdom of universal consciousness.

Details of this retreat

See with Your Heart. Live from Your Heart. Lead Through Your Heart.

Emily Blefeld and Dan Cohen’s Seeing with Your Heart Alchemical Constellations Training and Facilitator Certification is designed for individuals ready to untie the tangled threads of past generational sorrows, free themselves to live into the possibilities of spontaneous creation, and expand their lives, healing practice, and work with Systemic Family Constellations.

Everything you desire to create in life, whether in your relationships, career, family, community, or the greater issues facing the planet, begins and ends with your own emotions, mind, body, heart, and consciousness. Our advanced tools are designed to teach you how to harmonize with the lifeforce that comes from the earth beneath our feet, the ancestral codes in the cells of our bodies and the greater intelligence of the cosmos.

Seeing with Your Heart means accessing your body’s evolutionary capacity to perceive and integrate the ordinary, ancestral, and spiritual dimensions of consciousness that are at the core of what it means to be human. The training introduces a rhythmic approach to masterfully facilitate Constellations, artfully grow an abundant private practice, while transmuting the effects of inherited family trauma, archetypal and cultural fractals, and collective suffering.

Magic arises when we embrace our full capacities as human beings. We hold within ourselves the desire to live free amidst oppression, stay awake among the sleepwalkers, and remain vibrant within a discordant environment. Now is the time to shed old structures, transform outdated stories, dismantle ancient codes, and manifest the life we are here to live both individually and collectively.

Participants in the training step to their edge and beyond — and live there brilliantly.

The training includes both online and in-person elements, which combine advanced teaching and process modules with the epic live experience of Seeing with Your Heart group Constellations among the Catskill mountains of New York. Online components begin on February 21, 2023.

Weekend retreat stay

The property is on a beautiful, peaceful location.
Nature is all around and sometimes a little too close but you are literally surrounded by woods.

The food was really good and I liked the buffet style and fruit basket.

The gift shop although small had a nice selection of items and I purchased a few fun items.

Since the dining area was on the opposite side of the site from the convention center, a lot of students drove back and forth on the property. I chose the walking paths to get around.
