Dr. Antonia Steßl
Glastonbury, England
Ich bin systemischer Coach, Systemaufstellerin und schamanisch Praktizierende.
Als Director bei Deloitte gestalte ich organisatorische Veränderungsprozesse. Parallel bin ich als Beraterin tätig, um weltweite Anti-Rassismuss-Trainings durchzuführen, institutionelle und interpersonelle Dynamiken von Rassismus zu identifizieren und systemische Maßnahmen abzuleiten.
Mein Fokus liegt immer darauf die tiefen, unbewussten Dynamiken innerhalb eines Organisations- oder Familiensystems zu identifizieren, dem Ursprung eines Problems auf den Grund zu gehen. Durch das Anerkennen des auslösenden Moments wird es möglich lösende Bewegungen und Schritte herbeizuführen.
Dies ist auch mein Ziel für die Einzel- und Gruppenarbeit – es geht darum, das eigene Leben tatsächlich nachhaltig zu verändern, indem man Perspektiven erweitert, die Verbindung zu inneren Ressourcen freisetzt und ein breiteres und tieferes Verständnis von sich selbst in dieser Welt gewinnt.
Im Detail ...
... diese Laufbahn habe ich nach dem Studium der klassischen systemischen Familienaufstellung bei Dr. Ilse Kutschera, einer Schülerin von Bert Hellinger, und Helmut Eichenmüller begonnen. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass diese zweijährige Ausbildung die bestmögliche Grundlage war, um die Prinzipien und Dynamiken intragenerationaler Verstrickungen wirklich zu durchdringen und zu verstehen.
Während meines Aufenthalts in den USA, wo ich zwei Jahre lebte, hatte ich das Glück, auch bei Francesca Mason Boring zu lernen, Mitglied des Shoshone Tribe. Sie erzählte damals, dass sie, als sie die systemische Aufstellungsarbeit zum ersten Mal erlebte, dies der erste „westliche“ Ansatz war, der mit ihrem indigenen Glaubenssystem kompatibel ist. Francesca lehrte mich, auf das wissende Feld zu hören und alte Heilweisheiten und Rituale in die Systemaufstellung zu integrieren.
Danach lernte ich bei Emily Blefeld und Dan Cohen, zwei der führenden Vorreiter systemischer Praxis in den USA, Aspekte von erweitertem Bewusstsein und spirituellen Prinzipien in die eigene Arbeit zu integrieren.
Im Laufe der Jahre wuchs auch stetig meine Verbindung zu schamanischem Wissen und Arbeiten. Herzlichen Dank an meine Lehrerinnen Vera Griebert-Schröder, Sandra Ingerman und Betsy Bergstrom, die ihre Einsichten, Techniken und Erfahrungen mit mir teilten und mir gezeigt haben, wie man eine Verbindung mit Weisheitstraditionen ermöglicht, damit sie in der Gegenwart gelebt werden können.
Eher ungewöhnlich, aber sehr passend und noch hilfreicher, um alles miteinander zu verbinden, habe ich meine erste Karriere im Big4 Wirtschaftsprüfungs- und Beratungsunternehmensumfeld gemacht, wo ich nun seit über 10 Jahren arbeite und wirke. Zunächst als Prüferin von Governance-Systemen wechselte ich dann in die Gestaltung von Transformationsprojekten. Dies führte mich auch in die USA, wo ich zwei Jahre lang die Transformation des globalen Unternehmens mitgestaltete, bevor ich die operative Umsetzung in Europa übernahm.
Seit Jahren integriere ich systemische Methoden in die unternehmerische Entscheidungsfindung und die Gestaltung betrieblicher Prozesse. Insbesondere komplexe Fragestellungen und solche, in die bereits viele Ressourcen investiert wurden, ohne das gewünschte Ergebnis zu erzielen, sind typische Fragestellungen, bei denen dieser Ansatz hilft, nächste Schritte im Lösungsfindungsprozess zu finden.
We invite you to join us on this sacred journey to Glastonbury, the heart chakra of the world, where we will remember, rebuild, reconnect to, and reclaim the power and wisdom of the sacred sites of Avalon – within ourselves as well as on the sacred land. When we call to these ancient sites, kindred energies within us will rise to meet them.
Joining us on this journey is answering a call – an inner call of your soul, remembering your own lineage connected to Avalon and everything it stands for, harnessing memory, and spiritually growing into who you really are in your truest essence. It is also about following a collective call to move into the new era, where we have come out on the other side – after thousands of years of having been persecuted, suppressed, and killed. Let us now reach through time and connect to what has been lost and dream it into reality so it can be true once again.
In our retreat, we will open a portal to connect with our own wisdom, our soul’s knowing of the sacredness of this land, and how the individual sites invite us to receive from the Otherworld and the Divine.
Returning to that profound connection between this world, earthside, and the Otherworld, and the magic of the liminal space in between, reminds us of what it means to live on Mother Earth as a bridge, and being both in alignment with all of nature, all beings, and in service of the Divine. It is the symbol that we find on the Chalice Well that awakens that calling in us.
Imagine how your life would be if you lived each day with that regained memory and connection? What would your life look like if you lived it as a contemporary priestess or druid of Avalon?
The beauty of Glastonbury as the heart chakra of the world invites us in to its tender and loving energy. You will feel it as soon as you arrive in town. It is an energy that nourishes, holds, and gently brings memories back to our consciousness in a heart-felt way – a divine embrace.
Location and Sacred Sites of Avalon
We will gather in a meeting room at the Chalice Well Retreat Center adjacent to the Chalice Well Garden which we can access from our back door during our breaks. From there all sacred sites are within walking distance. Throughout our stay we will walk to each of the sacred sites: the Red Spring (Chalice Well), the White Spring, the Chalice Hill, and the Tor. At each of the sites we will do rituals, ceremonies, and shamanic journeys while singing the song of the sacred landscape. We will also ask to find a portal into the Otherworld. The Autumn Equinox marks one of the eight pagan holidays where the veils between the worlds are considered to be thin allowing the portal to be easier to access.

THE THREE FACILITATORS
Antonia Stessl-Heilmeier, PhD, is internationally known as a practitioner of Ancient Healing Arts, and systemic constellations facilitator. She is dedicated to making indigenous wisdom traditions accessible to people in modern societies. Combining refined intuitive perception with extensive training, Antonia brings clients through soul processes that bring peace to the past and provide positive resources for the future. She opens a sacred space in the field for spirit and intuition to come through, to remember who their clients truly are in the essence of their souls.
Antonia holds a PhD in systems theory. She first trained in Germany in classic systemic family constellations in the tradition of Bert Hellinger, then received additional training from Francesca Mason Boring in combining them with ancient healing wisdom and rituals. Most recently, she studied with Emily Blefeld and Dan Cohen in how to integrate advanced consciousness and spiritual principles into therapeutic practice. She received extensive training in ancient healing arts, energy medicine and shamanic traditions. Some of her most impactful teachers were Sandra Ingerman, Betsy Bergstrom, Lisa Murphy, and Alberto Villoldo.
Sarah Rehfuss Bastian, MS is a Subtle Energy Practitioner, Systemic Constellation Facilitator, Sacred Art Practitioner, artist, writer, and Ancestral Researcher. In addition, she holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Science in Counseling. For the past twenty-five years, she has trained in and practiced various modalities that are complementary to whole-body healing.
Sarah has been spirit-led in the past ten years to focus on intuitive and ancestral healing. Her keen interest in genealogy, subtle body healing modalities, Systemic Constellation work and deeply rooted animistic beliefs provide her a strong foundation to help others connect with and rewrite their family and personal history in a way that reveals truth, celebrates the gifts passed on and creates flow and harmony in an individual and their family system. She believes that by nurturing and living our highest potential in the present we honor the lives of all those that came before and provide an inspired and strong foundation for all those yet to come. She is passionate about stories and traditions both old and new, the history of people and the places they lived, the ceremonies, rituals, and rites of passage alive in our roots, and the patterns in our lives both individually and collectively. The idea of people gathering in circles to learn, to share, and to heal inspires her and it is her wish as she walks in the world that the people she meets, and those she works with, will feel empowered, inspired, enriched, and deeply supported by those encounters and will carry those feelings on their journey through life.
Rotger Heilmeier is a Registered Nurse, Psychologist (M.A.), nonmedical practitioner (German Heilpraktiker), Homeopath, Systemic and Family Constellation Facilitator and Trainer, and Shamanic Practitioner. He innovates new ways of working with homeopathy, shamanic practice, and constellations to connect with spirit, soul, and Mother Earth. Rotger is especially adept at connecting with sacred ground through spirit animals, sacred stones and medicinal plants in their natural and homeopathic form.
Since 2009, Rotger has been in private practice as a nonmedical practitioner offering homeopathy and psychological counseling. Through many years of experience in the medical profession, he has cultivated the ability to find simplicity in complex situations. A patient’s disease process may have crude and destructive symptoms, but he has found that underneath almost any disease there are good intentions. Finding that baseline stimulates awareness of the simplest truths that often reach through centuries. When these are identified, remedies and rituals may successfully redirect the disease out of the body.
Rotger designs living, breathing, and joyful rituals for people, landscapes, and nature. He sees these practices as modern expressions of the ancient traditions of witchcraft which deserve honoring.
