Family Constellations Workshop

Family Constellations is a therapeutic approach that aims to uncover and resolve unconscious dynamics within a family system. In a workshop setting, participants typically gather in a group guided by a facilitator. Here's a breakdown of what you might expect in such a workshop:

1. Introduction: The facilitator introduces the concept of Family Constellations, explaining its principles and how it can be beneficial for understanding family dynamics.

2. Group Setup: Participants may sit in a circle or designated area. The facilitator creates a safe and respectful environment where people feel comfortable sharing and exploring personal issues.

3. Volunteers: Individuals from the group volunteer to work on their own family issues. They briefly describe the problem or issue they wish to explore.

4. Representatives: Other participants are chosen to represent key family members or elements relevant to the issue being explored. These representatives may stand or sit in the space designated for the constellation.

5. Constellation Setup: The facilitator guides the representatives into positions that reflect the inner dynamics of the family system. This arrangement creates a "living map" of the family's relationships and dynamics.

6. Exploration and Insights: Through observation and guided reflection, participants gain insights into the hidden dynamics at play within the family system. This may involve recognizing entanglements, unresolved conflicts, or unspoken loyalties that influence behavior and relationships.

7. Resolution and Healing: With the facilitator's guidance, participants work towards resolving the identified issues within the constellation. This may involve acknowledging and accepting past events, expressing emotions, and finding new perspectives or resolutions.

8. Integration: Participants reflect on their experiences and insights gained from the constellation work. The facilitator may offer tools or techniques to help integrate these insights into daily life and relationships.

9. Closure: The workshop concludes with a closing circle where participants share their reflections, gratitude, and any shifts they've experienced during the session.

Overall, Family Constellations workshops provide a unique opportunity for personal growth, healing, and understanding of the intricate dynamics within family systems. Participants often report gaining new perspectives, emotional release, and greater clarity on their relationships and life path.

What is the Family Constellations:

It is an innovative technique that can quickly bring to light the root cause of struggles in relationships, finances, recurring patterns and even tensions within family members.

This experiential approach creates a shift in perspective, healing our issue at different levels: words and healing phrases, intuitive knowledge, body movement, and emotions. This creates a holistic healing process which allows the work to reach the core issue quickly and effectively.

Developed by German psychotherapist Bert Hellinger, Family Constellations illustrates the energetic impact from experiences in our family of origin, place of work and life events that can create palpable, yet elusive, blocks in our lives. We get stuck in repetitive scripts: Maybe we meet partners that disappear when it’s time to commit, we constantly get passed over for that well-earned promotion or we struggle with a feeling of constant anxiety.

Constellations can support you in:

• Healing conflicts in your relationships (with your partner, family or friends).
• Achieving the success you want in your career.
• Resolving any lingering trauma that is keeping you from living your life fully.
• Experiencing true intimacy in your relationships.
• Gaining insight into different career options, money struggles, and life transitions.

Family Constellations can be done in the privacy of a one-on-one session. They combine the intuitive capacity of the facilitator and the seeker. Using different tools to represent, visualize and connect to each segment of the issue. As the constellation is set up you can observe dynamics unfold, shift and resolve in a safe and gentle way.
