With Charlie Stevens and Marianne Gabriel .
The primary focus of these workshops is the constellation of who we are and where is our true place in the order of life, that includes all the members of our family and parts of ourselves. Constellations reveal the hidden dynamics within the family or other system and our relationship and place in the system. They can also show our relationship to illness and it’s obscured history.
The question of true belonging is vital to each human being. To know we are ‘at home’ in ourselves and therefore in the world is what most of us long for in life
At the beginning of these workshops we first take some time to slow down to listen deeply into a felt sense. This helps us to make a strong connection to body awareness, relaxation and mindful meditation. From this inner inquiry and reflection the pertinent issue arises to bring into the constellation work.
During a constellation representatives are chosen from the group for members of the actual family and placed in the space in relationship to each other as seen by the person working. We then wait and see what movements might take place and what words might emerge between the representatives, sometimes the therapist will assist in this process.
The extraordinary thing is that the representatives can feel and sense the actual dynamics of the family in question without knowing the story. We then work in a careful and sensitive way to see if there is the possibility of a resolution to the conflict or inclusion of those excluded for various reasons. This can bring a new image and a sense of peace in the heart and ease in the soul. Remarkably without any other ‘doing’ the actual members of the family are affected by this as well as the person doing the work.
In the constellations as well as the movement the witness is a vital part of the process and part of our work is to develop a healthy witness consciousness. In constellation work sometimes experience is actually a hinderance rather than a help so we encourage all present whether new to the work or experienced to enter what Dr Albrecht Mahr has called the ‘knowing field’ with ‘beginners mind’.
