Family Systems Constellation and Mindfulness
Retreat with Michele Benzamin-Miki and Caitriona Reed
We’re excited to announce this immersive retreat at Manzanita Village
Monday, June 19 – Friday, June 23
(arrive Sunday, depart Saturday)
Who’s it for. Healers, Coaches, Artists and Activists, and anyone committed to change for themselves and for those they serve — professionally, or simply as a human-being in relationship to others and to the world.
Why now: It may be that global events (environmental, social, political, economic) are getting our attention in new ways. Beyond denial or resignation, or wishful or magical thinking—how can you be present, empathic, active, in ways that sustain you, and inspire others?
What you will learn: how to listen, how to be present, how to let your spirit soar in a world that at its core wants the very best for you. You will spend time in nature, AND you will experience tools for grounding, understanding, and facilitation, by recognizing and developing your innate genius.
- How and Why Obstacles for Change show up
- How to facilitate and deepen your understanding of systemic change
- Personal Breakthrough Systemic Constellation Sessions
- Meditation, Mindfulness, Prayer, and Trance
- Integrating the Excluded and the Invisible
- Nature Constellations and the Extended Body
- Waking up to your Indigenous Spirit

Family Constellation
Family Constellation is a mirror, a microcosm, a reflection of your life as it is, and as it might be. Benefits are immediate and log-term. It may be therapeutic, but it is in many ways the opposite of therapy. It does not depend on engaging the normal channels of understanding. It goes deeper, like trance or plant-medicine. It shows you very directly, through a collaborative process, what you may have been unable to see or accept previously. By the testimony of many of our clients it compliments other modalities of change, and often achieves what months or years of therapy did not address. To quote one of our mentors, “It shows you what you may already know, but don’t yet know that you know.”
Before experiencing Constellation work, people often think that it’s all about resolving current issues within their family, or changing personal programming established during their upbringing. But the heritage of our family of origin goes far beyond the conditioning of our early life. We have carried buried loyalties that go back, in many instances, for generations ‒ deeper buried memories. So, a question: What if the expectations, disappointments, experiences that we imagine are our own, are determined by generational traumas and unresolved misunderstandings –‒ hidden out of fear, guilt, or simply not knowing that no one has an obligation to accept their present state if it no longer serves them. It’s always astonishing when people take agency over their inner state, and recognize their natural capacity to transform old traumas.
Join us for a half-day workshop to get a taste of this work or join us for upcoming training-retreats at Manzanita Village in April and June, and in Peru this coming October. Join us for all three towards your Certification as a facilitator of Constellation work.
Note that the two-week training/pilgrimage to Sacred Valley in Southern Peru also includes training in NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming and Hypnotherapy).
Through the constellation I suddenly have access to a reality that I cannot perceive through thought. Something that had been hidden comes to light. Once in sight I can begin to find a solution. Bert Hellinger

Our theme: Thich Nhat Hanh used to say that a Bodhisattva is simply a Buddha in training, that we are all Bodhisattvas, no matter what ‘stage’ we are at.
not just through our actions, but through our presence, to become a healing force in the world
—to embody the truth of love and compassion. They are:
I promise to take all living beings as my relations
I promise to cut through all misunderstanding and judgement
Pathways to wisdom and love are inexhaustible, I promise to walk them all.
Awakening to the radiant truth of life is indescribable, I promise to awaken to it

Caitriona, Michele and Manzanita Village
Retreats and Workshops at Manzanita Village. Retreats at Manzanita Village are an integration of silence, deep inner work, and learning skills that you can bring into your life to help transform yourself, your relationship with those you care for, and the world.
Caitriona and Michele are artists, improvisors, and intuitives. Their work continues to evolve and change. They continue to study and train with teachers in multiple disciplines and traditions. We often surprise ourselves! Curiosity is a huge motivator for us. As the Dalai Lama once said in a meeting we attended some years ago, “It’s the job of a Bodhisattva to be interested in everything.”
We are senior teachers in the dual lineages of Vipassana and Zen. In addition, we are also facilitators and teachers of Deep Ecology, Neurolinguistics, Clinical Hypnosis, and Family, Organizational, and Systemic Constellation work. We have led retreats and workshops internationally for several decades and have been at the forefront of bringing Socially Engaged Spiritual Practice into public awareness.
Our passion is to help people bring their authentic selves into their daily life to lead us all towards the World we long for ..
None of us are Broken! None of us are Perfect! None of us are Done! And Each of us is Unique
Unless otherwise noted retreats and workshops are open to everyone,
Manzanita Village is a no-joke place!! This is a bring-all-your-wisdom, bring-all-your-honesty, and bring-all-your-bullshit place. Because we live in a time that’s filled with chaos and confusion. But things get a whole lot clearer here. — Jamie Grace Davis
I had no idea how profound the training was going to be. Looking back now, I can’t imagine my life if I hadn’t done this. Emily Steinberg
Caitriona and Michele create a transformation that’s so deep and penetrating and powerful, because it’s not preconceived. They allow each person to go through their process and make it their own. In so many other trainings and retreats they manufacture a ‘peak experience’ and then attempt to ‘integrate’ it, which is then followed by inevitable disappointment.
Peak experience and integration happen together here, and real integration and transformation then flood into your life as you bring your learning into the world. — Meredith Smith
We are calling together a community, a wisdom-council of people who are ready to support each other in learning and growing, to dive into the sacred work of personal and spiritual transformation. To serve others and the world and to realize your deepest calling.
Everyone’s journey, everyone’s life, is unique. You participation in this program is designed for you to meet your own personal and professional goals and to the develop skills that let you be the creator of your own life.
What are the qualities you most desire to embody?
Program includes, as we move forward in 2022, then 2023, retreats on the sacred land that we call our home, personal coaching, family and systemic constellation work, coaching and mentorship with both Caitriona and Michele. You will dive deeply into the how-to’s of psyche-magic, key elements of Buddhist practice, NLP, Family Systems Constellation work, Divination, and indigenous practices.. All of which are part of the seamless whole of the program we will co-create with you. For Information Click Here
