Family Constellations offer an opportunity to gain insights into your family dynamics and uncover hidden patterns that may be influencing your relationships, health and well-being.

You might feel you've done a lot of 'healing work' and there are still things that feel stuck in your life. This could stem from a trauma that your ancestors experienced or from patterns that developed as you tried to fit into your family, feeling a lack of belonging or that certain roles were required of you.

By acknowledging the systemic dynamics and offering healing sentences we can gently move towards more balance and space free from 'entanglements' from the past.

Family Constellations can provide you with a new way of seeing dynamics that can help you to:

• step towards healthier relationships
• begin to free yourself from a sense that you can't move forward
• let go of generational burdens
• feel more resourced by your ancestors
• be more able to connect with the joy of being alive
• increase your sense of compassion for yourself and those around you
• live with more acceptance
• move away from victim or rescuer mode
• connect with your inner motivation and creativity
• feel clearer about your goals and make positive choices
• see your family story with new eyes

Whether you are new to Family Constellations or have familiarity with the approach, you are very welcome.

During each workshop you will have the chance to hear a brief introduction to constellations, practice 'representing' and participate in one or two constellations in a supportive and confidential environment.

You do not need to bring a personal question or issue to 'constellate'. Although we will not do a constellation for everyone who comes along, each participant will have a chance to take part by seeking (being a client), representing (representing members of the seekers constellation) or witnessing.

We will decide which constellations to focus on during the workshop, and we will do some smaller exercises that everyone can participate in. All will leave with an experience of constellations to support them in their own life.

You don't need to come along with your family members - this is not traditional family therapy. Come alone or bring a friend, you will be welcomed by a very friendly group of people.

'Family Constellations opens doors in a very powerful but supportive way. I love how it lifts the burden of trauma from the present and shifts it back to where it belongs. I came away feeling I'd touched in on many precious possibilities and potentials in my self while sharing the space with a lovely group of courageously honest people. This is a rare treasure'.
