Join Sarah Bullen and René Ronge for a morning of systemic and family constellations.

Do you have a story you can't shake? An issue you can't resolve, despite all the understanding in the world?

In this constellation morning we will be working through:

We will spend a morning working through a series of constellations.

WHAT IS A CONSTELLATION?

Family Constellations is a therapeutic approach that aims to address and heal unresolved issues within a person's family system or a general system. It was developed by German psychotherapist Bert Hellinger in the 1990s.

The core premise of Constellations is that individuals are deeply influenced by the dynamics and hidden loyalties within their families, often across multiple generations. It suggests that unresolved traumas, unresolved conflicts, or unacknowledged family secrets can have a profound impact on an individual.

In a Family Constellations session, a trained facilitator creates a group setting where participants can explore their family dynamics. Representatives are chosen from the group to stand in as symbolic representations of family members or elements. Through guided exercises and interventions, the constellation unfolds, revealing hidden dynamics and entanglements that may be contributing to the participant's challenges or conflicts.

The goal of Family Constellations is to bring awareness and resolution to these hidden dynamics, allowing individuals to gain insights, find healing, and restore balance within themselves and their family systems. By acknowledging and honoring the inherent order and natural flow within the family, it seeks to restore harmony, love, and understanding among family members.

Family Constellations can be applied to various areas of life, including relationships, personal growth, career, and health. It is often used as a complementary approach alongside traditional therapy or counseling, providing a holistic perspective on personal and systemic issues.

It's important to note that while Family Constellations can be a powerful therapeutic tool for many individuals, it may not be suitable for everyone. It's recommended to work with a qualified and experienced facilitator or therapist who can provide guidance and support throughout the process.

SYSTEMIC CONSTELLATIONS

When you look to the night sky and see a constellation, you are seeing individual stars that are all part of a larger system, and that system is clustered together in a visible way. The problem is, in our own lives, it is very hard to see this as we are one of the stars, and often we can't see the system.

Systemic Constellations are a way to represent any system that we are one part of and visually represent all of the parts of that system.

We routinely make conscious and unconscious decisions that have far-reaching ripple effects. Systemic constellations can support us to see beyond the direct influences of our actions, including the relational fabric in which we are embedded. It can support us to acting with wider awareness rather than reacting out of our habitual patterns.
