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.

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
Maestro Kike Pinto
at MANZANITA Village
December 29, 2023 – January 2, 2024
Join us for this unique opportunity to work with Andean wisdom carrier and musician/composer maestro Kike Pinto, on a rare visit from Peru, for a musical retreat of 5 days and 4 nights at the Zen-capital-of-the-chapparal, Manzanita Village.
December 29 – January 2
No Prior musical experience necessary
Kike will bring his 50+ years of experience in music – as a composer, charanguista (charango player), guitarist, singer, vientista (flute player), and Paqoruna (one who lives in service to Pachamama). Kike’s own original songs are testament to this lifelong path. After decades of study and listening, he now shares and teaches from his wealth of understanding of traditional Andean music. Look for his songs on Bandcamp.
The focus of this retreat will be on the practices of listening, presence, and joyful witness to the Earth. Join us to explore and awaken your voice and light, expanding your natural ability to open your ears and heart to explore the subtle energies of music and voice, diving into the Andean concept of reciprocity (ayni). No previous experience in music or singing is necessary as we believe that these abilities are innate.
One whole day of the retreat will be dedicated to the “Secret Medicine of the Siku“, (Andean pan flute) – a deep dive into the indigenous music of Peru, in which you will develop beginning skills as a flute player.
Each participant will receive 2 Siku flutes and learn to play them over the course of the retreat
Kike will also lead us through the mysteries of Andean and Amazonian ceremonial music, and the essential nature of music to enriched your life, to bring strength and insight .. for celebration, meditation, grieving, dancing, questioning, breathing.
On the third day of the retreat there will be an offering to Mother Nature in the Andean tradition, where each person will bring who they are and their own essential authentic nature, co-creating an offering for Pacha Mama (Mother Earth, space and time) .. dedicating our time, spirit, laughter and song… a pure expression of gratitude and love.
What could be a better way than this to step into the New Year!?
Daily schedule (subject to what the magic of the group may determine)
Friday December 29th – arrive and begin music!
Saturday December 30th – Full day workshop “Secret Medicine of the Siku (flute)”

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
