SYSTEMIC CONSTELLATIONS - NZ - APRIL 2013 Family and Organisational Constellations

Revealing hidden dynamics - thereby enabling the disentanglement and healing of relationships

This workshop blends the Constellation approach with Maria's extensive experience in Gestalt therapy.

Despite their greatest efforts many people are not able either to live their life fully or relate well within their families. They can experience powerful forces that thwart them in their lives. They can feel as entangled within the dynamics of their family as if in a spiderʼs web. These dynamics are like the wind. The wind is not visible but its presence felt from the disturbance it leaves in its wake and its impact on our body and senses. Entanglements in family dynamics can result in relationship difficulties between partners, between parents and children, and between siblings. They can also contribute to other difficulties such as addictions, illnesses and negative repetitive patterns in our lives.

Constellation work is a process by which systemic influences on a person are made visible. In setting up a constellation, a participant selects people to represent his or her family members and moves them around the room until their relative positions reflect the participantsʼ experience of his or her family. When this movement is done silently and with respect, the representatives report experiences similar to those of the original family members. The dynamics of the family relationship can be observed. The facilitator works in a highly respectful manner to bring to awareness blocks that prevent love from flowing to all members of the system.

    CONSTELLATION WORKSHOP FOR COUPLES - MAY 2013

    This workshop is an opportunity for couples to work together to unmask the hidden dynamics operating within their relationship.

    Maria blends the Constellation approach with her extensive experience in Gestalt therapy.

    Despite their greatest efforts many people are not able either to live their life fully or create harmonious relationships. They can experience powerful forces that thwart them in their lives. They can feel as entangled within the dynamics of their relationships as if in a spider's web. These dynamics are like the wind. The wind is not visible but its presence felt from the disturbance it leaves in its wake and its impact on our body and senses. Entanglements in relationship dynamics can result in difficulties and miscommunications between partners. They can also contribute to other difficulties such as addictions, illnesses and negative repetitive patterns in our lives.

    In this workshop couples will have the opportunity to see their relationship from a different viewpoint, as well as recognising how each person's family entanglements play out within the relationship. Constellation work respectfully acknowledges history, therefore allowing space for something new.

    • When: Saturday & Sunday 18 & 19th May 2013 9:30am - 5:00pm
    • Venue: Oxford Falls Peace Park (cnr Wakehurst Parkway & Dreadnought Rd - Opp. Christian City Church)
    • Cost: $600 per couple ($100 deposit by April 12th 2013) Morning and Afternoon Teas included. Bring your own lunch.
