Away From Home
You can leave home. Home doesn’t leave you.
Maybe you left your parents’ house young, or your hometown, or your country. You built a new life, and something stayed behind. Leaving home is a loss that rarely gets a funeral. It is also how we become ourselves.
7 weekly sessions · live online · next cohort autumn 2027
Does this sound like you?
- Home feels like two places, and neither.
- You feel guilty for leaving, or for being happy where you are.
- Your parents grow older far away.
- You still live by the rules of your first home.
- Your children belong here in a way you never fully will.
- You never had time to grieve what you left.
How it shows up in your life
- A homesickness that comes in waves, without warning
- Feeling like a guest in your own life
- Restlessness, or never quite settling
- Distance from family on both sides
- A part of you that stayed behind
None of this means something is wrong with you. It means you adapted, very well, to what you were given.
What we explore, week by week
Choose the whole program, or the sessions that call you.
The Leaving
Why you went, and what it cost. We begin with your story of leaving, whether it was a parents’ house, a hometown or a country, and make room for everything that came with it.
What I Fled, What I Left Behind
Leaving is both an escape and a loss. Through the shadow lens we look at what you ran from, and what you had to leave behind to become who you are.
The Guilt and the Joy
Guilt for leaving, guilt for being happy where you are. We give space to the feelings nobody talks about, so they no longer have to hide.
Those Left Behind
Parents growing older far away, graves you cannot visit, the land itself. We honor those who stayed, and the bond that distance did not break.
The Gap
Two homes, two languages, children who belong here in a way you never fully will. We look at the gap between generations, and how to stand on both sides of it.
The Body’s Memory of Leaving
The body remembers the leaving long after the mind has moved on. We find where it still lives in you, and let it settle.
Home Within
The Wanderer and the Exile, and the center you carry with you wherever you go. We close by finding home within, and choosing what you add from here.
In their words
“It wasn’t about soothing me or making things more comfortable, but an authentic invitation: ‘Do you want to look at this?’ I wholeheartedly recommend Nico.”
“I left the session with peace, clarity and full trust in what is to unfold. Nico has a gentle, radiant and welcoming presence in which I felt held, understood and safe.”
“The session was deeply revealing, allowing me to see dynamics I had not been fully aware of before. By the end I felt a renewed sense of clarity and confidence toward my future.”
What to expect
- One 3½-hour live online group session per week
- Before each session: that week’s masterclass. Please watch it at least a day before and take your time; there is a lot in it
- When you book: a short online assessment, multiple choice, a few minutes, no pen and paper. It helps you notice what you already know, what you feel and what you want to work on. Please complete it at least a day before you begin
- A short piece of theory, clear and sourced
- Guided, body-led work, shadow exercises and archetypal work
- Time to share, and a group constellation
- A private online community for your cohort, to stay connected between sessions, with the recordings and masterclasses in one place
- Each session: the slides, a workbook to print and write in during the session, the recording, the bibliography and key studies on the topic
- A list of questions to ask your mother and father, if possible: a starting point for your own conversations, to discover more of your family’s story
- The closing sharing is never recorded, to protect everyone in the room
You leave with words for what you carry, a felt sense of how it lives in your body, and the freedom to choose what you add from here.
