- I've started the Life Links Project. Life Links is a project exploring larger commitments individuals uphold. I hope to do enough individual constellations and larger constellations to diagram how they are directly connected. From there I can explore why it is so difficult to change certain things or demonstrate the approach necessary when it comes to getting changes into these large commitments.

Sorry about that fans. Well it is public access. I guess you don't really need professionalism as long as you've got fifty bucks.

Constellation Facilitator interested in facilitating large, on-going constellations for publication on Dynamic Constellations, World Revealed and On Constellations. Complete Family Constellation training is not necessary as I am more interested in beyond order pheno.
If you are interested, request details or send your qualifications.
Wolfram|Alpha

Taken directly from the FAQ page, "It's a computational knowledge engine: it generates output by doing computations from its own internal knowledge base, …". Further, "Eventually you should be able to ask it about essentially any kind of systematic factual knowledge."
Do you have data, research results, or other information you want the world to know about? It could be a collection of related facts, a table of measurements, a list of formulas, or a set of relationships. In short, it could be any organized body of knowledge that hangs together in some meaningful way.
We would love to be able to help you share your information with the world through Wolfram|Alpha. Building your data into Wolfram|Alpha makes it available in searchable form, and more importantly in computable form, to your colleagues, coworkers, students, and not least to yourself. You will be able to ask Wolfram/Alpha complex questions about how your data relates both to itself and to everything else that is part of the Wolfram|Alpha knowledge base.
Okay constellation facilitators, we know the phenomenon from constellation work is meaningful even if it is a truth or of fact within a very specific context. The collection of phenomenon from constellation work can benefit, and eventually, we may begin to see how it ties in to all those other facts.
If you are interested in this project, contact me.

Not usually of the mindset that this is a good place to rant but … I'm so burnt! This is taking a lot longer than I wanted it to. And I have to move … again.

I contemplated this web site a couple years ago but I wasn't quite sure how to go about publishing it due to the nature of the subject matter. A practically word–free technique on a web site … how would that turn out? I laid down most of the bones last year, provided access to receiving Dynamic Constellations and Sessions and posted some basic information about constellation work. After a year of testing out a few things I've finally compiled a few ideas that would bring constellation work into the public eye in a few new ways and keep me interested in putting words to something that is best experienced word–free.
It may take the rest of this year to get the full effect up and running but I hope you will find it intriguing enough as it grows to bookmark it and share it with a few friends.
Site Overview
Today
Inside DC.com
In addition to offering constellation work on and through the internet, I will be publishing the results of specific constellations on DC.com so more people can get a better idea of the nature and benefits of constellation work. I'm starting with three different ways of looking at what is expressed through constellation work by sharing the anonymous results of several constellations.
- In Focus
- Find constellations on a specific topic, usually reader chosen. I will work through several constellations on the same topic so once published you can get an idea of the common thread of a particular problem or issue and the unique factors that can have an effect on reaching a resolution — even with the same problem.
- Follow
- Find case chronicles where I will be publishing results from constellations of three to five different people with very complex issues which have affected their entire lives including through their physical abilities. You can get an idea of the cumulative benefits of constellation work and an idea of how much work it takes to start resolving for a condition that when unattended for 20, 30 or even 60 years.
- Lifelines
- Find on going constellation series from several people who consider themselves to be "average" or to be dealing with average life issues where they consider certain situation to be normal and don't think the issues are a problem or they have accepted these issues as "how life is".
These are contextual constellations exploring some of the most common — yet often controversial — individual, personal and global topics — which we consider to be 'normal' or common to some degree or another. Yet through constellation work, participants begin to have a greater direct effect on these situations, and then they start seeing different results. They begin to change what they consider to be 'normal' and change the basis of what they accept as unchangeable. Since participants in constellation seem to come from a more genuine, authentic place when expressing what they know of a situation or circumstance, better solutions are also chosen with a more genuine, authentic consideration of a workable resolution for all involved. Relationships become less complicated almost immediately. It's only then we can begin to see what affects constellation work have of the large picture — the larger, more complicated issues that effect more than a small group.
In addition to constellation facilitation and the phenomenon of constellation work, I'll be offering information on the groundwork of systemic constellation work and articles from different fields that contribute to the continued expansion of the potential of constellation work. Aside from the potential resolution aspect of constellation work, my interest in what I see as anthrophenomenological expression will find a place in several other web sites connected to DC.com. I will be expanding my publication of contextual constellations to include video clips, snapshots, diagrams, presentations, stories and a data base collection of common factors of our common 'problems'.
Tomorrow
On DC.com
- Life Links Project
- Adding to In Focus, Follow and Lifelines constellations, Life Links is in the works to cover my interest in national level issues — big things that connect us at a national level. The first constellation is on the constitution. I have a few other large participation projects in mind and I will also be posting an open call for ideas some time later in the year.
Across The Net
- BigThink
- From their web site; BigThink; A global forum connecting people and ideas< hosting essential knowledge from top experts. This is a web site where "big thinkers" pose interesting questions and put up video broadcasts of their theories on the past, present and future.
- I'll be doing constellations on topics and research of some of those BigThinkers because I find it interesting what insights real people come up with when they ponder The Big Questions. I plan on start with Steven Pinker and his research into language development in children and the conclusions he's come to from that research. I will be comparing that to actual people, who were actually children at one time and see when they tell us they were really doing.
- The Seed Salon
Related Web Sites
- On Constellations
- Somewhat in the coding phase, On Constellations is an interactive site where I plan to publish video clips, snapshots, diagrams, presentations, stories and host a data base of constellation work. In addition to very interesting insights from actual constellations, I will be publishing articles from other constellation facilitators as a way of adding collected phenomenon from constellations about common issues and subjects mankind ponders endlessly.
- Visible In Public
- Constellations on public figures for a better understanding of what is behind what really motivates some of those we actually depend on to move us in the right directions. Through the constellation looking glass I'll be look into when they do and when they don't … and the real motivating factors of why.
- World Revealed
- When facilitating a constellation the phenomenological expression is somewhat untouchable at the time. Participants need to be allowed to let what ever understanding of the situation come to them naturally right where they are. It is something that comes of the process of acknowledging what is … when one really pays attention and focuses on what is. But after dozens and dozens of constellations you can't help but see an entire picture emerge from what people express in constellation compared to what they say and do in habit. It makes any observer desire to put all the constellations together and share the much more interesting story behind the scenes we are used to taking for granted.
- World Revealed is where I will be connecting the dots and telling the backstories.

Welcome to Dynamic Constellations.com
My name is Lisa DeMars and I am the owner of Dynamic Constellations.com. Dynamic Constellations.com is published primarily for offering facilitation services for Dynamic Constellations, a type of systemic constellation. You can find all the information you need to schedule a constellation or session from the Dynamic Constellations menu on the front page of this web site or start by reading About Dynamic Constellations.
I immediately became interested in constellation work while engaged in my first constellation during a training for certification as a practitioner of The BodyTalk System back in June of 2006. Constellation work seemed like such an obvious course of action for problems that people tend to consider insurmountable that I immediately wondered why it wasn't more popular. Although it has a natural Zen–like sense to it, it also seems so average, so common place, in that it engages 'skills' or capabilities everyone uses regularly in the normal course of actions people take to problem solve and succeed — fully assessing the situation and focusing on the solutions … including choosing the best solution for the circumstance.
On an individual level, constellation work is similar to training I've had at the Focusing Institute in Chicago in the '80s — but constellation work is traditionally group work where several people are contributing to the resolution of one primary participants problem or agenda. This also makes constellation work expand problem resolution confidence through not only the individual participant but through the network of contributing participants and offers more expansive effects beyond personal arenas into regional and global issues. Regular constellation work demonstrates marked effects in economic, health and ecological issues in small groups such as families, work groups and special interest groups.
Although popular all over Europe where it continues to increase in popularity, it hasn't quite yet become as popular in the US … even as an "alternative" type approach. I hope to make a small contribution to changing that so constellation work is available to more people in the US starting with DC.com. First, in the area of accessibility — by offering constellation work online. Through readily available internet tools, people who have never heard of constellation work or for those who do not have a constellation facilitator in their area, can now have a constellation online.
