Constellation Morning with Sarah Bullen

ABOUT
Join me for a morning of family constellations where we will explore the unseen forces in your life.
You can bring an issue to constellate, or join as a representative.
A CONSTELLATION MORNING on ILLNESS and WELLNESS
When we look at a constellation in the night sky, we see individual stars that belong to a larger pattern. In our own lives, this pattern is harder to perceive—because we are inside it.
Constellations offer a way to step back and see the wider system we are part of. They allow us to visually and energetically represent the relationships, forces, and dynamics that shape our choices, behaviours, and challenges.
Do you carry a story that won’t let go?
A pattern that repeats, even though you understand it?
An issue that refuses to resolve, no matter how much work you’ve done?
In this constellation morning, we will work within the systemic field to explore what is seeking recognition and resolution. We will focus on ILLNESS and WELLNESS.
You may bring:
- An issue within your family system
- An illness or physical condition
- A relationship you wish to shift, or understand.
- A pattern that continues to repeat in your life
We will spend the morning moving through a series of constellations, allowing what has been hidden or excluded to come into view. The work is experiential, embodied, and often quietly profound.
Expect a morning that is engaging, interactive, and embodied.

WHAT IS A CONSTELLATION?
Family Constellations is a systemic and experiential approach that reveals how we are shaped by the family and systems we belong to—often across generations. It is based on the understanding that unresolved events, losses, exclusions, and unspoken loyalties within a system can continue to influence our lives long after they occurred.
In a constellation, these hidden dynamics are made visible. Participants are invited to represent elements of a system—such as family members, relationships, symptoms, or aspects of an organisation. As the constellation unfolds, underlying entanglements, interruptions to the natural order, and movements of love come into awareness.
The work does not rely on analysis or storytelling, but on sensing what is present in the field. Through acknowledgement, inclusion, and respect for what is, the system is given the opportunity to reorganise. This often brings relief, clarity, and a renewed sense of flow—both for the person whose issue is being explored and for those who take part as representatives.
Constellations invite us to honour what came before, to take our rightful place, and to allow life to move forward with greater ease.
Much of what drives us happens outside of conscious awareness. Systemic work supports us to see beyond habitual reactions and personal narratives, revealing the broader relational web in which we are embedded. From this wider perspective, new movements become possible—ones that are aligned, grounded, and responsive to the whole system rather than driven by old patterns.
About your Facilitator, Sarah Bullen

Sarah Bullen is a Family Constellations facilitator, multi-published author, and literary agent whose work centres on the stories that live within individuals, families, and ancestral lines. For nearly two decades, she has guided clients, writers, and mentees in uncovering the deeper patterns shaping their lives—helping them bring what has been hidden into view, restore belonging, and consciously re-author their place within the larger family system.
Trained in African Constellations, since 2007, she has worked closely with family stories, helping people identify inherited narratives, unresolved loyalties, and systemic entanglements, and move toward greater alignment with the natural order of love.
Sarah’s personal life has profoundly informed her work. A breast cancer survivor and the widow of a husband who died from brain cancer in 2012, she brings a grounded, compassionate understanding of illness, death, and the continuity between life, ancestry, and spirit. These experiences shape her unique perspective on healing, the unseen forces that move through families, and humanity’s place within the greater order of the universe.
As the founder of The Writing Room, Sarah has mentored writers whose work has resulted in more than 210 traditionally published books. Her own writing spans the art of writing, spirituality, and experiences beyond the veil. Her recent books include Love and Above: A Journey into Shamanism, Coma and Joy and The Other Side: Journeys into Mysticism, Magic and Near-Death.
Sarah has facilitated over 100 constellations, working in both large groups and individual constellations
About Representing
In a family constellation, representatives are participants who temporarily stand in for members of a person’s family system or for significant elements such as emotions, relationships, or inner states.
Serving as a representative can be a powerful experience in itself. Many people find that the movements they participate in also touch their own lives, offering insight, release, or a renewed sense of belonging within the larger human family.
Her facilitation is characterised by gentleness, clarity and depth. She brings methods that allow for subtle but powerful healing movements in individuals, families and groups. René’s own exploration of addiction adds authenticity and compassion to her work, allowing her to meet others with understanding and without judgement.
Her outlook is simple and profound: healing comes from including rather than excluding, from allowing what is rather than resisting it, and from trusting the intelligence of the soul. She holds each constellation as an invitation to remember what has always been known within.
