Group Processes in Workshops

Family Constellations are often done as a group process in a workshop.  The group process begins by a client setting up volunteers from the group to represent members or elements of the family system. 

​While the client and the facilitator watch, the volunteers move, speak, and react to other representatives. They do not act a role; in a mysterious way representatives begin to take on the essential qualities of whom they are representing.  During the process we discover the imbalance that needs to be addressed and find the a solution that wants to emerge.

The facilitator guides the constellation process with changes to the order or movements and suggesting statements of fact or truth that clearly reveal the imbalance in the system and the restoration of balance and appropriate honoring of the ancestors and family members.
