“The greater soul moves in only one direction, and that is to bring into union, that which has been made separate.” — Bert Hellinger, Founder of Family Constellations.Come along and join us for a Family Constellations Workshop, where you will experience profound transformation and awareness of “self” and “your family system”. You'll have the chance to explore the hidden family dynamics and ancestral patterns that may be affecting you, today. The day will entail some experiential exercises, and several family constellations.
Whether you’re in search of personal expansion or aiming to improve your relationships personally or within your family system, this workshop offers a safe and supportive environment to explore your family history with the intention of healing.
What is Family Constellations
Family constellations/ancestral healing is a therapeutic process that explores family patterns, traumas and unresolved inherited burdens that may be having an adverse effect on your life. These inherited traumas and burdens are most often experienced unconsciously. This work allows the unconscious to become conscious.
Family constellation helps reveal the hidden dynamics in a family or relationship by tapping into the collective, ancient and ancestral wisdom of past generations, to heal ourselves, with the flow on effect of healing our ancestors and those that come after us.
Family Constellations first started in Europe by German psychotherapist Bert Hellinger in the mid 1990’s and is now internationally recognised and respected as a healing modality for many mental, emotional and behavioural issues.
Epigenetics
Each of us, as we are born into a physical body, inherit genetic coding that has been passed down to us through countless generations of our ancestors.
Epigenetics - Mark Wolynn – epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene function that occur without change in the sequence of the DNA. The DNA that is responsible for transmitting physical traits such as colour of our skin, hair, eyes, surprisingly make up less than 2% of our total DNA. The other 98% consists of what is called noncoding DNA (ncDNA) and is responsible for many of the emotional, behavioural and personality traits we inherit.
What is family constellation and how does it work?
In a Family Constellation session, we attempt to reveal hidden dynamics that span multiple generations in a given family. Trauma, physical and mental illness are passed down from one generation to the next and a family constellation can reveal the hidden dynamics and their harmful effects. We call these entanglements.
Entanglements show up in many forms including disease, suicidal ideation, depression, bad fortune.
In a family constellation session, we use what we call representatives, who help reveal the family patterns and dynamics as they bring to light the reality of the past. In family constellation work we learn to accept in full the events of the past, so we no longer have to carry them or keep passing them down from one generation to the next.
What is an Entanglement?
A person is entangled when he or she unconsciously takes over the fate of an earlier member of the family and lives it out. This means that the person has taken on “unconsciously” the fate of a previously family member, going back at least seven generations and living out that person’s suffering, to help bring calm and wholeness back to the family system.
Phenomenological Field (The Knowing Field)
Phenomenology is simply a method of deep, clear and present perception. In family constellations we work with what we call the “Knowing Field” and what that means is that we are part of a field that informs us. Working phenomenologically means we consciously tune into the field and have a direct sensory experience. This means that those that are representing for a family member, will be able to tune into that member and pick up important information that we hope brings some form of healing to the client and the family system.

• Improve your relationships (parents, partner, children, colleagues and friends)
