10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Southern Berkshires Friends Meeting
Facilitated by Stella Metzner

Join us for a transformative healing circle guided by Stella Metzner, a skilled practitioner of Family Constellation work. Family Constellation is a therapeutic modality rooted in systems thinking, ancestral healing, and embodied ritual. While often used to support individuals, it is a profoundly powerful tool for community and collective healing. It allows us to access hidden intergenerational patterns and traumas—bringing them to light through somatic insight, storytelling, and group constellations.

In this special gathering focused on regional allyship, we will explore what it means to be allies to Indigenous and BIPOC communities by tending to our own ancestral wounds. Many of us carry the grief of being severed from our Indigenous roots in Europe—whether Celtic, Slavic, Jewish, Nordic, or otherwise. We will reflect on the layers of colonizer and colonized within our own family histories and begin to reclaim a grounded sense of belonging that aligns us with life, Earth, and justice. This work is offered in preparation for our annual Indigenous Peoples’ Day prayer gathering, as a way to deepen the integrity of our allyship through inner transformation and collective truth-telling.

W.E.B. Du Bois River Park
(Housatonic River, Great Barrington, MA)

For the fifth year in a row, we will gather as a community to make prayers for the Housatonic River and to honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day with reverence and humility. This year, we will meet at the W.E.B. Du Bois River Park along the river in Great Barrington, a place where water, history, and vision converge.

Please join us for a simple, sacred hour of prayer, songs, reflection, and offerings to our Beloved Housatonic River, as we offer our gratitude to the river, honor the original peoples of this land, and commit to our responsibilities as stewards and allies.
