An Introduction to Systemic Constellations: A One-Day Experiential Workshop for Leaders, Educators & Practitioners

🗓 Friday 28th November 2025
📍 Subud Hall, Clifton, Bristol
9:30am – 5:30pm

Overview

Join us for a hands-on, experiential workshop exploring how unseen dynamics shape what we experience in our work, relationships, and wider systems.

Systemic Constellations offer a new way of understanding complexity, one that reveals the hidden patterns influencing teams, leadership, families, and communities.

This approach bridges both the personal and professional. It helps us see how the dynamics we learned in our families often echo in the ways we relate, lead, and collaborate and how greater awareness can bring more flow, clarity, and belonging.

This one-day training introduces the foundations of systemic practice through direct experience. You’ll learn to map relationships, recognise systemic influences, and work with the field of embodied knowing to uncover what’s trying to be seen or restored.

It’s practical, relational, and deeply human.

What You’ll Experience

  • A grounded introduction to the key principles and practice of Systemic Constellations
  • Frameworks to recognise systemic influence in teams, organisations, and families
  • Small-group constellations exploring real work or life situations
  • Tools to develop embodied awareness and presence in relationships and leadership

Ever wanted to look more deeply at a work relationship, team dynamic, client interaction, or even a family pattern that feels familiar?
In this workshop, you’ll have the chance to do exactly that.

In guided breakout groups, you’ll learn to use embodied awareness to gain new perspectives on your chosen situation. Others in the group will be invited to represent the people, issues, or contexts involved , offering live feedback through their embodied experience.

You’ll gain insight into:

  • How you show up in relationships and collaboration
  • How you are seen and experienced by others
  • What shifts when you take your rightful place in a system

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how systemic awareness can support deeper connection, leadership, and change ,in both life and work.

Who It’s For

This workshop is open to anyone curious about what lies beneath the surface of human systems and especially relevant for:

  • Leaders, managers, and educators seeking to understand dynamics in teams and organisations
  • Therapists, coaches, and counsellors expanding their systemic and embodied awareness
  • People professionals and facilitators exploring belonging, inclusion, and organisational wellbeing
  • Anyone wanting to explore repeating patterns in work, relationships, or family life

No previous experience is needed — just openness and curiosity.

CPD & Professional Development

This workshop is suitable for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and a certificate of attendance can be provided on request.

Systemic practice supports those in leadership, education, coaching, and therapy to see the wider systems they are part of and to respond with more awareness and compassion.

We’re passionate about bringing systemic understanding into workplaces and educational settings, where it can strengthen culture, inclusion, and wellbeing.

Testimonial

“Constellation work invites you to see patterns and beliefs from a third perspective, outside your own internal narrative — which can be incredibly liberating. It helps you gently de-personalise from your ‘stuff’ and opens up new ways of seeing and being with it.”
– Sadia Ghazanfar, Women’s Leadership & Career Coach
