Lineage of the Heart
Remembering the Whispers of the Soul
A Women’s Family Constellations Gathering
Sunday, February 15th, 2026
Sonoma, CA
This one-day Family Constellations gathering is for women only and is devoted to the feminine lineage — the mother line, the daughter line, and the often-unspoken stories carried in women’s bodies, hearts, and nervous systems.
Women carry much more than their personal histories.
Across generations, women often inherit:
- Mother–daughter patterns that shape how they love, mother, and separate
- Reproductive loss, including miscarriage and abortion, that has had no place to be acknowledged
- Relational over-responsibility, carrying emotional weight for others at the cost of themselves
- Silenced grief — losses that were never named, mourned, or witnessed
- Deep loyalty through the womb line, where belonging has required self-sacrifice
Many women arrive holding it all together — loving beyond their own limits, carrying grief without language, and quietly forgetting themselves in relationship. These burdens are often carried with strength and competence, yet leave little space for rest, softness, or true belonging.
This day offers women a gentle and respectful space to:
– Lay down what was never meant to be carried alone
– Restore belonging within the feminine lineage
– Be seen and witnessed without needing to explain or justify
– Feel relief in the body as inherited patterns loosen
– Reconnect with the heart’s natural wisdom and capacity for intimacy
Through Family Constellations, what has been hidden or excluded is allowed to come into view — not to be fixed or analyzed, but to be recognized and given its rightful place. When this happens, the feminine heart can soften, and life energy begins to flow with more ease, clarity, and self-trust.
This is a day for women to rest into belonging, remember themselves within the lineage, and leave with a deeper sense of inner alignment, dignity, and peace.

Meet the Facilitator
Rita Gendelman
Rita Gendelman is a Soul Lineage Family Systems Practitioner who has been working with the modality of Family Constellations for over twelve years. Her work is rooted in the understanding that we are shaped not only by our personal experiences, but also by the unseen stories, losses, and loyalties carried through our family systems. Even when these stories are unspoken, they live in the body and the heart, influencing how we love, relate, protect ourselves, and move through life.
Through Family Constellations, Rita creates a safe, respectful field where hidden dynamics can gently come into view and restore movement, belonging, and order within the system. This work does not seek to fix or analyze, but rather to remember—to allow what was excluded, forgotten, or carried alone to find its rightful place, so life energy can flow again with greater ease.
Rita works with individuals and couples navigating profound and tender life experiences, including:
Divorce — supporting individuals and couples in moving through separation with more clarity, dignity, and grace
Parenting, with a special focus on Mother–Daughter dynamics — helping untangle inherited patterns while strengthening love and connection
Miscarriage & Abortion — honoring often-unspoken grief and restoring belonging to those who were lost
Mental illness, including depression and suicide — held with depth, sovereignty, and objectivity
Sensuality & Intimacy — cultivating deeper intimacy with self and other, and alignment between life force, heart, and spirit
At the heart of Rita’s work is a simple and lived truth:
“When the heart is open, there are no expectations. In that openness, we feel our union with all of life. And when we truly feel that union, we cannot cause harm—because another’s pain becomes our own.”
Rita’s presence is gentle, grounded, and deeply respectful of each person’s pace and dignity. Her work invites clients into a lived experience of belonging—where love can move freely again, and the soul lineage is remembered through the heart.
