This is the time to anchor your brilliance and courage, sink roots into the deep Earth, drink in the nutrients and light of the galaxy as you rise up. The ancestors and spirit guides are reaching out for you. The mycelium network is kissing the soles of your feet to tickle awake evolution’s most perfect creature: YOU.

The Facilitators

Dan Cohen, PhD specializes in helping individuals, couples, and families heal the effects of inherited trauma and fulfill their deepest longings for love, connection, and meaningful impact. He has a particular passion for addressing generational trauma passed down through war, genocide, and the legacy of slavery. Blending a near-encyclopedic knowledge of world history, mythology, and culture with an uncanny psychic awareness, Dan offers profound, transformative healing that restores peace of mind and expands new possibilities for life’s flourishing.

Before earning his PhD in psychology and training directly with Bert Hellinger as a Constellations facilitator, Dan was internationally recognized for his work in violence prevention and conflict resolution. As a former Strategic Planning consultant to the Director of the Los Alamos Laboratory, he pivoted away from national security to become a founding member of the City of Cambridge(MA) Peace Commission in 1981. For over four decades, he has devoted himself to understanding the violent and hostile urges that shadow the human heart.

Since 2000, Dan has been a leading voice in integrating personal, ancestral, and spirit consciousness into therapeutic practice. He holds a PhD in psychology from Saybrook University and an MBA from Boston University. Dan is the author of I Carry Your Heart in My Heart: Family Constellations in Prison and numerous scholarly articles and book chapters. He has led Seeing with Your Heart workshops and training courses across 19 countries in Europe, Asia, Australia/New Zealand, South America, Africa, and throughout the United States.

When he’s not with clients or teaching, Dan can be found writing reflections on a recent class, chasing the latest theories on consciousness, or reading scientific research most people wouldn’t touch without a glossary. He walks daily along the shore of Martha’s Vineyard with his dog Ruby, listening for eternal truths in the ocean wind—and occasionally offering dry commentary in return.

A devoted father, partner, and adoring grandfather, Dan lights up most when his family and dear friends are near. In his world, brilliance and humility walk side by side—stalking wise words and wisecracks in equal measure. Learn more about Dan at seeingwithyourheart.com

Emily Blefeld, LICSW, is an internationally recognized Systemic Family Constellations trainer, facilitator, and psychotherapist. With more than two decades of experience, she specializes in supporting change-makers, healers, and entrepreneurs to dismantle outdated paradigms, narratives, and ancient codes that limit their growth. Known for her extraordinary intuitive gifts and ability to commune with the ancestral realm, Emily skillfully attunes to the subtle dimensions of consciousness to help individuals release intergenerational trauma and live with greater authenticity, express their love more fully, and align with their life’s purpose. 

Emily’s professional approach integrates psychotherapy, coaching, and mentoring with advanced methods in Systemic Family Constellations, Core Energetics, Compassionate Spirit Release, and Women’s Mystery Traditions. She holds a Master’s of Social Work from the University of Minnesota and is certified in a range of therapeutic modalities that support holistic healing and transformation. Emily has presented at premier institutions including the Omega Institute, Kripalu, and the North American Systemic Constellations Conference, and served on the faculty of the North American Constellation Intensive. In addition to her private practice, she leads trainings and workshops across the U.S. and internationally in countries including Ireland, Scotland, Norway, Sweden, Hungary, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Brazil, Bali, Germany, and Africa.

When she’s not guiding clients or leading workshops, Emily walks the ocean shore of Aquinnah, where she resides—gathering inspiration from the tides and the whispers of the land. She receives nourishment from ritual, gratitude, and the simple act of greeting each new day with movement under the rising sun, offering thanks for the unseen worlds that shape her path. Rooted in reverence and alive with boundless energy, Emily is frequently found in heartfelt gatherings with friends and family or joyfully supporting the creative visions of others. A natural night owl, Emily does some of her most inspired work under moonlight, when the veils are thin and her love of the liminal hums with possibility. Whether guiding a constellation or shaping magazine cuttings into soulful vision, Emily brings deep presence, mythic insight, and wild reverence for the mystery that connects us all. Her artistry bridges healing and imagination, inviting others to join her in the sacred dance between worlds. Learn more about Emily at seeingwithyourheart.com
