🗝️ What if some of the patterns in your life belong to a story larger than your own?

💠We all have patterns ... the relationships we repeat, the roles we fall into, the things we seem to carry, and the ways we struggle to belong.

💠 And sometimes, no matter how much insight we gain or how hard we work to change, a pattern remains.

⭐ Family Constellations offer a different way of looking. ⭐

💫 Rather than seeing our experiences as isolated to the individual, we can consider the larger systems we belong to.
Our families, our relationships, and the generations that came before us.

💫 We don't enter the world as blank slates. We enter families, inheriting stories, relationships, losses, loyalties, and ways of belonging. Some of these are conscious. Many aren't.

🌿 A constellation can make some of these hidden dynamics visible.

🗝️ Who has been forgotten? Where has belonging been disrupted? What are we carrying that may not actually belong to us?

🗝️ And what happens when we simply acknowledge what is there?

This September, join Betsy Gornet for Introduction to Constellations!
A 4-day experiential exploration through demonstration, guided practice, reflection, and personal inquiry.

💫No prior experience is required.

You don't have to come with a problem to solve.
You can simply come curious.

Because sometimes, before something can change, it needs to be seen. 🌿

✨ What happens when everyone is keeping score?

It can feel like we are living in a world increasingly organized around a simple question:

⚖️ Who is right... and who is wrong?

Who is the good person?
Who is the bad person?
Who is doing the right thing?
Who is causing the harm?

And of course, some of these questions matter.
But what happens when we become addicted to answering them?
Not just out in the world but inside ourselves. 💭

It might sound like:

💬 “I was only trying to help.”
💬 “I didn’t mean it that way.”
💬 “I always do so much for everyone else.”
💬 “I’m a good person.”
💬 “They should understand why I did it.”

Or perhaps we simply spend enormous amounts of energy making sure we are on the “right” side of every situation.

🌀 There is a hidden cost to this.

When our well-being depends on establishing our innocence, we become less available for something far more useful:

🌱 What is actually happening here?
🌱 What needs to change?
🌱 What could I learn?
🌱 What would create more life, connection, and possibility?

The pursuit of innocence can make those questions surprisingly difficult to access.

💫 What if we could move beyond the calculation of guilt and innocence altogether?

What if there is another way to organize our relationship with ourselves and with life? 🌿

This is the territory we’ll explore in Rapport with Self: Beyond Guilt & Innocence (BGI) with Carl Buchheit and Carla Camou.

🌀 The Trance of Guilt & Innocence

“I am only worthy when I can prove my perspective.”
“I am only valuable when I am right.”
“My self-worth comes through winning.”
“There can only be one winner. And there is only a winner when someone is losing.”

💭 Do any of these sound familiar?

If so, you may have been in contact with what we at NLP Marin call the “Trance of Guilt and Innocence.”

This trance can show up whenever we encounter:
⚖️ Good / Bad
✔️ Right / Wrong
👥 Us / Them
🏆 Win / Lose

🗝️And when we're caught in that bind, there can be very little room left for safety, connection, or belonging, not with others, not with ourselves, and not with Life itself.

We can become focused on proving we're right 🔥 instead of connecting 🤗
On winning🏆 instead of learning 📚
On being innocent 😇 instead of discovering what is actually possible 😆

And sometimes, the need to be “good” looks like keeping the peace, pleasing others, over-giving, or taking one for the team.

🌀 The trance can be subtle.

✨ But what if we could step outside of it?
💠What if our worth didn't have to be proven?
💙What if someone didn't have to lose for us to gain?

What if there were another way?

💙 That's the territory we'll explore in Rapport with Self: Beyond Guilt & Innocence.

🎥 Spend a few minutes with Carl and explore Beyond Guilt & Innocence.

🌿 What are Family Constellations?

Family Constellations invite us to look beyond the individual and see the larger systems we belong to.

Because sometimes, what feels like a personal struggle is connected to something much bigger.

✨ A relationship pattern that keeps repeating.
✨ A sense of not quite belonging.
✨ A family story that seems to echo across generations.
✨ A feeling that you're carrying something that may not actually be yours.

Our families are systems. We are shaped by the people who came before us, the relationships we were born into, the losses and transitions our families experienced, and the ways those experiences influenced belonging and connection.

🌱 A constellation makes these relationships visible.

Rather than judging, resisting, or trying to rewrite the past, constellation work invites us to see more clearly what is present.

And from there, we can become curious about:

💫 What is ours?
💫 What may have its origins elsewhere in the family system?
💫 What have we been carrying?
💫 What might become possible when something previously outside our awareness comes into view?

💙 See the patterns.
Honor what came before.
Make space for what wants to move.

✨ Beyond Guilt & Innocence is back.

🛠️ Some courses give you more tools.
👀 Some courses give you new ways of seeing.
🌿 AND, Some courses invite you into a new life stance, and change the way you experience being human.

After a few years away, Rapport with Self: Beyond Guilt & Innocence is returning to NLP Marin this September.💙💙

🌟 Carl Buchheit calls it “the most important short class we teach.”
🔥🔥🔥That’s a pretty big statement.

And this is a pretty big conversation.
What happens when our well-being becomes organized around Guilt and Innocence?

✔️ Around being right.
❌ Being wrong.
😇 Being good.
😈 Being bad.
🏆 Winning.
💔 Losing.
📣 Proving.
🤝 Placating.
🫶 Taking one for the team.

What happens to belonging when someone has to be innocent? 🤔
And what becomes possible when Rapport with Self becomes the basis of our well-being instead? ✨

💫 This two-day course explores some of the frames Carl and Carla have developed around guilt, innocence, belonging, and what it means to create and sustain rapport with ourselves, other-selves, and Life itself.

💙 Meet Betsy Gornet ✨

Betsy first experienced Family Constellations in 2005 and has been learning from the work ever since. She completed facilitator training approximately a decade later and has been facilitating constellations for the past 11 years.

🌿 Her appreciation for this work is deeply connected to her professional life.

For more than 30 years, Betsy has worked in hospice and healthcare, where she has had the privilege of hearing and witnessing family experiences and stories that reach across generations.

She has also encountered similar patterns through her work in leadership coaching and Transformational NLP—where what appears to be a present-day challenge can sometimes have deeper roots.

✨ “Constellation work has given Betsy another way to be curious about these connections.”

For Betsy, one of the possibilities within this work is greater freedom:
💙 Recognizing what we carry
💙 Appreciating where it came from
💙 Allowing what belongs to the past to take its place there

Not because our histories cease to matter, but because we may become more able to make choices grounded in our own lives rather than unknowingly repeating something that began before us.

💫 Today, Betsy is a Transformational NLP Master Practitioner, professional leadership coach, and Training Manager at NLP Marin.

🎉 Something new is coming to NLP Marin…

Introduction to Constellations
✨with Betsy Gornet

🤯What if some of what shapes our lives did not begin with us?

💠Family Constellations offer a different way of looking at the patterns, relationships, and experiences that shape our lives, and invite us to become curious about what we carry, where it comes from, and what may become possible when we begin to see more clearly.

💙 See the patterns. Honor what came before. Make space for what wants to move.

Join us for a 4-day experiential introduction to Family Constellations, where we’ll explore family systems, intergenerational patterns, belonging, and the ways our past may continue to influence the present.

✨ No prior experience is required.

📅 September 26–27 & October 31–November 1, 2026
⏰ 10:00 AM–6:00 PM Pacific time
