Full rehearsal and helpers
Full rehearsal and your own helper(s)
The full rehearsal is free of charge. You only pay for the actual ritual constellation.
The full rehearsal will take place no later than the weekend before the ritual. If you live a long way away and this poses a problem, we can discuss it.
The rehearsal only needs to take place once. So if you wish to have the constellation set up more than once, there is no need for a further rehearsal, unless you specifically request one.
You’ll bring your helper or helpers on both occasions: for the rehearsal and for the actual constellation. One or two helpers are needed because the whole process is a bit much for one person, not only because of the ritual setting, but also because you’ll be connecting with ancestors. If your helper ever wishes to have an ancestor constellation themselves, they won’t need to do another rehearsal as far as I’m concerned. This exception regarding rehearsals does not apply to guests.
Should you wish to have another constellation at a later date, it is helpful to bring the same helper or helpers with you, if possible. If that is not possible, we will not conduct a new rehearsal for these new helpers, unless you specifically request it. However often you wish to have an ancestor constellation, for me, one rehearsal with you and your helper or helpers is sufficient. There will be no more than one rehearsal per constellation. An ancestor constellation with a rehearsal costs €150.00; without a rehearsal, €110.00. If you are under 25, I charge half that amount.
Please allow up to 2.5 hours for the rehearsal. Hopefully, we won’t need that long and will be finished within 2 hours. But we won’t rush things.
During the full rehearsal, everything will happen exactly as it will in the actual constellation. There’ll be time in between for questions, comments and instructions. You can expect to receive instructions from me, as I’m committed to a precise execution of the ritual. So every step taken in the actual constellation will also be carried out in the full rehearsal. The aim is to practise. Nothing is real yet, apart from one thing: the ancestors. We can pretend throughout the whole rehearsal, but that won’t work when I’m representing them. When acting as a representative, you need to be aware that you’re dealing with ancestors from your ancestral field. You’re practising making contact via real ancestors. I assume they’ll be prepared for this. You can practise with three ancestors. This, too, is guided from the spiritual world. It may be that something emerges which you can pay attention to during the actual constellation. Don’t be disappointed if this happens; that is what this exercise is for. In the actual constellation, you will always make good contact with your ancestors: you connect with them and you are fully engaged.
Paid helper
The instructions assume that you will provide your own helper or helpers, up to a maximum of two. A paid helper is also available to assist you during the actual ritual. Please note, however, that there must not be more than two helpers in total, whether paid or unpaid – it makes no difference. So the option of a paid helper is also available if you bring one helper of your own. The paid helper will not be present at the rehearsal. During the full rehearsal, in addition to carrying out the ritual constellation, you can practise with three represented ancestors. If you opt for a paid helper and do not bring your own helper, you will be on your own during the rehearsal, but you can rest assured that during the actual constellation there will be someone present who is familiar with interacting with ancestors. Nevertheless, you will always remain actively involved in communicating with your ancestors.
The cost of the paid helper is €50.00 per ritual constellation.
If you find yourself in a situation where you feel unable to handle the responsibility of communicating with your ancestors, you should arrange for one or two helpers to do this for you. If you have one helper, you can also engage the paid helper for the actual ritual.
If you do not have a helper at all and feel that you cannot communicate with your ancestors independently, you must always engage the paid helper for the actual ritual, but you will participate in the full rehearsal without a helper. If you find yourself in this situation, please contact me so that I am aware of it. In terms of arrangements and agreements, everything remains the same; the rehearsal will also go ahead to practise the ritual. However, in this situation, the part of the rehearsal involving practising with three represented ancestors will be omitted. The costs remain the same.
