Gary, facilitator at SomaGiri Journey Centre specialising in family constellation therapy and plant medicine healing

Hello, I'm Gary.

I guide people to gently release what they may be carrying and to return to their rightful place in life, with greater clarity and ease.

My work brings together Family Constellation Therapy, body awareness and ceremonial practices, including plant medicine experiences. It is a process of slowing down, listening and allowing what has been hidden - often within the family system - to be seen and acknowledged with care.

Through this work, people often begin to understand themselves in a new way. Patterns that once felt confusing or overwhelming can start to make sense, creating space for something different to emerge.

This is not about quick fixes or dramatic change, but about honest, steady movement toward what is true.

My role is to hold a grounded and supportive space where you can explore what is present, at your own pace and begin to take steps forward in a way that feels real and sustainable.

We are all Pilgrims walking each other home, hand in hand, witnessing and honouring each other's Light.

1-on-1 family constellation therapy session exploring ancestral patterns and hidden dynamics

1-on-1 Family Constellation

Energy Exchange - R2,400 per session

In a 1-on-1 Family Constellation session, we explore the hidden dynamics within your family system that may be shaping your life today.

Many emotional struggles, relationship patterns or inner conflicts are not only personal but can arise from unconscious loyalties, unresolved trauma or exclusions within the ancestral field.

Through a guided and compassionate process that includes systemic awareness and embodied sensing, what has been unseen can gently come into view.

As these dynamics are acknowledged and honoured, the natural orders of belonging, balance and dignity within the family system can begin to restore themselves.

This work allows you to release burdens that were never yours to carry and step forward with greater clarity, freedom, and connection to your rightful place in life.

Family constellation group session with collective field healing and guided facilitation

Family Constellation Group Session

Energy Exchange - R2,000 per session

A Family Constellation Group Session offers a powerful opportunity to witness and experience the healing potential of the collective field.

In this shared space, participants gather as representatives within one another's constellations, allowing hidden family dynamics, ancestral loyalties and systemic patterns to emerge with surprising clarity.

Even when you are not working on your own issue, simply standing as a representative often reveals profound insights and emotional shifts within your own life.

The group field creates a deep sense of connection and belonging, where stories are honoured, burdens are acknowledged and new movement becomes possible within the family system.

Through respectful witnessing and guided facilitation, the collective presence supports healing not only for the individual constellation but for everyone in the room.

The Approach

The process unfolds in the following steps:

01

Contact

In our first contact, we explore your needs and whether we are an energetic fit. We will have a conversation about what you are currently facing, what patterns may be repeating and what you feel ready to shift. I will also share my background, my process and how I approach this work.

02

Booking

If you choose to continue, we will arrange an online call and complete a medical questionnaire. This supports your safety and helps me understand your current state, including any medication that may interact with plant medicine. If it is appropriate for you to journey, I will share available dates. Your booking is confirmed upon receipt of proof of payment.

03

Preparation

One week before your journey, I will send the recommended cleanse and guidelines to support your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual preparation.

04

Family Constellation

Together, we explore and gently work with generational patterns, supporting greater presence and clarity in your life.

05

Plant Medicine Journey

Held in a safe and supportive space, the medicine is invited to do its work - softening defences, opening perception and allowing deeper layers of awareness to emerge.

06

Integration

The process continues after the session. I offer three integration points: immediately after the journey, a follow-up call the next day and another one week later. This supports the integration of insights into daily life, allowing meaningful and lasting change to take root.

Common Questions

Is this legal?

The legal landscape around plant medicine in South Africa is still evolving. Cannabis is permitted for private, personal use, but other entheogenic substances remain restricted.

While there is growing global interest in the therapeutic and spiritual use of plant medicine, local regulations have not yet fully adapted to these developments.

For this reason, all work is approached with care, discretion and respect for both the law and the individual. The focus remains on creating a safe, grounded and responsible space where personal insight, healing and integration can take place.

What should I expect during a session?

My work is a structured process that supports people in exploring what they are carrying and where it may come from.

We begin by identifying patterns, challenges or recurring experiences that feel difficult to shift. Through preparation, body awareness and Family Constellation work, deeper layers of understanding begin to emerge.

The plant medicine journey itself is held in a safe and grounded space, allowing insight to unfold naturally. Family Constellation work and plant medicine journeys can also be undertaken separately.

Integration supports returning to daily life with clarity, responsibility and presence, allowing for real, lasting change.

Is this work right for me?

A common question is whether this work is right for you. The answer is less about readiness and more about willingness.

If you are open to looking honestly at yourself, your patterns and what you may be carrying, then this work can support you. It is not about being fixed, but about taking responsibility and allowing deeper awareness to emerge.

You do not need to have everything figured out. You only need a genuine curiosity and a willingness to engage with what is true. From there, the process unfolds in a way that meets you where you are.

We are all Pilgrims walking each other home, hand in hand, witnessing and honouring each other's Light.

What is a Family Constellation?

A Family Constellation session is a way of understanding how your family may still be affecting your life. Sometimes, challenges we face are not only our own, but are connected to patterns or experiences from those who came before us.

In a constellation, these patterns are gently made visible so they can be seen and understood. This often brings a sense of relief and clarity.

It is not about blaming or analysing, but about recognising what is there, so you can step out of what is not yours and live your own life more freely.

How many sessions will I need?

A common question is how many sessions are needed. There is no fixed answer, as each person's process is different.

Some people experience meaningful shifts in a single session, while others benefit from a series of sessions over time. The work is not about quantity, but about readiness, timing and integration.

We move at a pace that supports real change, rather than rushing results. After your first session, we can reflect together on what is needed next. The focus is always on what serves you best, not on following a set number of sessions.

How to know if a Facilitator is right for you

Choosing the right facilitator is an important part of the process. More than qualifications or techniques, it comes down to how you feel in their presence.

Do you feel safe, respected and able to be honest? A good facilitator does not try to fix you, but holds a clear and steady space where you can explore what is true for you.

Trust your body and your sense of ease. If something feels forced or unclear, it is worth paying attention to that. The right facilitator will support your process without taking it over, allowing you to remain connected to yourself throughout.

Why is the Cleanse before the Journey important?

The cleanse before a journey helps your body and mind slow down and become more open. By eating simple, fresh food and avoiding things like caffeine, processed foods and substances, your system becomes calmer and clearer.

Taking a break from stimulation allows your energy to settle and turn inward. This is not about strict rules, but about creating the best conditions for the journey.

When your body is prepared, it is easier to relax, feel and receive what the experience has to offer.

What is Aphantasia?

Aphantasia means you may not see images in your mind when you are guided to imagine something. This is completely normal for some people and does not limit the work.

In this process, we do not rely on visualisation. You may experience things through your body, feelings or a simple sense of knowing. There is no right or wrong way to experience a session.

What matters is your willingness to stay present and honest with what arises. The work will meet you in the way that is natural for you.
