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 She specializes in supporting change-agents, visionaries and entrepreneurs to dismantle the old paradigms, outdated narratives, and ancient codes that hold them back and open to the full expression of their life’s purpose and soul’s path.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.

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.
