OPEN YOUR MIND. DISCOVER NEW WAYS TO LOOK AT PROBLEMS, FAMILIES AND RELATIONSHIPS.

Struggling in your work, relationship or family?
Feel something is holding you back?
Struggling with an addiction or stress?
Is bereavement turning to depression?
Old patterns are repeating?
Or interested in learning something new?

Traditionally therapies focus only on the person, while family constellations work with a whole picture of the individual as part of a larger set of systems – family, community, society...

This method can bring clarity and release to problems you are experiencing within your family; either your family of origin (where you grew up), or your current family. 

The one-day workshops are a chance to bring an issue or a question you are thinking about or working with, to see how the constellating process can shed light on some hidden dynamics, or open your heart and mind up to a slightly different viewpoint…support you to take another step, release some unfinished business, allow a previously excluded member of your family or a part of your family’s history, to take its place.

Or come to find out more, to learn something, to experience supporting someone else’s constellation by agreeing to represent a member of their family for a while. You will be surprised by how easy it is to take part in a group, and how rich the experience is, whether you come as a representative/resource, or as an issue holder. The stories that are played out in a constellation open our hearts, they bring out more of the truth and they relieve us of the confusion we feel when we are not in our ‘right’ place.

Many of us grew up in families and cultures that veered away from difficult truths, family constellations often give the chance to look truth in the face and speak it out with compassion and love, getting a feeling of what its like to really mean what we say and hear others say what they mean.

‘When we think about our ancestors, we are reminded that humans who are genetically similar to us can successfully overcome a multitude of problems’ (Austrian researcher Peter Fischer, who has found that thinking about your ancestors before an exam or job interview boosts your chances of success)
