An alternative approach to healing systemic and family entanglements.
What is Family Constellation
Family Constellation or Systemic Constellation is an alternative healing approach that allows a SEEKER (a person with unresolved issue) to gain new levels of insights into the situation he/she is exploring.
Developed by German psychotherapist, Bert Hellinger, this is a therapeutic method that allows us to explore multigenerational family entanglements in order to bring new levels of understanding into what happened in one’s family, eventually reach resolution and allow the disrupted flow of life to move back again normally.
Because family members, across generations, are connected through the “morphogenic field”, anything that took place in a family can have an impact on the seeker and can explain why he/she is facing problems and blockages in their lives on different levels (ie health, relationships, work, finances etc). Through a family constellation exploration a new light of awareness and healing come forth.

How does the Workshop work
During a Family constellation workshop, an individual “the seeker” is exploring an issue in one area of his life, other participants (not related to the seeker) would play the role of representatives and would stand for members of the seeker’s family. The representatives will connect to the morphological field and feel impulses to move around and act in certain ways.
No talking is involved, but physical and emotional sensations, movements and gestures will be experienced by the representatives related to the persons they are representing. The seeker watching the scene will gain new perspectives around the issue he/she is exploring. The facilitator would intervene at times to redirect the representatives and to help the seeker gain clarity.

What can be explored
The list is long when it comes to the variety of issues that can be explored through a family constellation. Just to name a few:
Trauma
Addictions
Family entanglements
Relationship difficulties
Work related difficulties
Behavioural Patterns
Loss and Grief
Physical health challenges
Chronic Illness
Financial Difficulties
Depression
Individual Sessions
Private sessions are also available to explore a family constellation. The process is a little different since no representatives are involved and the focus is more on the seeker’s feelings and inputs. The facilitator will intervene at times with insights.
