Online Family Constellations Workshops
Barry Krost offers live online Family Constellations special topic workshops designed to uncover and release hidden family dynamics. Whether you're navigating trauma, mental health challenges, relationship struggles, or recurring generational patterns, these virtual group workshops provide a deeply supportive space to transform both your inner and ancestral landscape.
2027 Special Series: The Generational Impact of Challenging Life Events
This seven-part, yearlong workshop series explores how war, financial loss, murder, the death of a child, loss of homeland, schizophrenia, and natural disasters may continue to affect families across generations. Each workshop considers a particular experience through the perspective of Family Constellations, bringing attention to those affected and the unresolved relationships and loyalties that may connect later generations to what happened.
What are online Family Constellations workshops?
Special topic workshops are held live via Zoom and are fully experiential. You may participate as a client, representative, or observer, whatever feels right. When applicable, recordings and post-workshop resources are provided to participants.
Each live online Family Constellations workshop includes:
A focused theme based on common systemic issues (e.g., trauma, narcissism, ADHD, money, fate, siblings, illness)
A lecture / discussion of the special topic
Guided meditation or experiential exercises
One or more full constellations with participants
Notes and charts that are shared after the workshop
Family Constellations can create a shared space where difficult human experiences can be respectfully witnessed, understood, integrated, or transformed. As what has been excluded, interrupted, or unresolved is acknowledged and given its rightful place, movement toward greater harmony, wholeness, and balance becomes possible once again, although it may look quite different from what came before.
Who should attend?
These online Family Constellations workshops are ideal for individuals who want to:
Heal generational trauma or ancestral patterns
Resolve relationship difficulties or family dynamics
Explore emotional, physical, or systemic symptoms
Understand how their family system shapes their life
Participate in a powerful group healing process from anywhere
Gain insight into Family Constellation Therapy in a supportive environment
How Constellations Are Chosen
Each workshop typically includes one to two Family Constellations.
Constellations are selected with consideration for:
The readiness of the individual and the group on that day
What appears most relevant to the group's overall learning and systemic exploration
Participants whose personal or family experiences are particularly relevant to the workshop’s theme may be considered for a constellation.

The Generational Impact of Challenging Life Events - Special Workshop Series
Exploring How Significant Experiences Continue to Shape Families
The experiences that shape a family do not always end with those who lived them. War, financial loss, murder, the death of a child, loss of homeland, schizophrenia, and natural disasters may continue influencing relationships and family life in ways that are not always recognized. This seven-part live, online workshop series explores these enduring patterns through the unique perspective of Family Constellations.
How Significant Experiences Continue to Shape Families
Every family has been shaped by significant life experiences. Some are openly acknowledged and remembered. Others remain hidden, forgotten, or too painful to speak about. Whether recognized or not, these experiences often continue influencing individuals, relationships, and families long after the original events have passed.
Death, illness, war, adoption, infertility, financial hardship, addiction, violence, migration, separation, abuse, and other profound life experiences affect more than the individuals directly involved. They often influence the emotional life of a family and continue shaping relationships, patterns, and ways of relating to one another over time.
Family Constellations offers a unique perspective for exploring how these experiences continue to live within a family system. It helps bring hidden family patterns into view, explores how significant experiences may continue influencing later generations, and supports a deeper understanding of how families respond to adversity, loss, and other life-changing experiences over time.
Throughout this workshop series, each session focuses on a different area of family experience while examining how significant life events may shape families long after the original experience has passed. Together, these workshops offer a deeper understanding of the ways acknowledgment, belonging, and greater awareness can support movement toward greater connection within the family system.
What to Expect in Each Workshop
Each live online workshop combines teaching, discussion, and Family Constellation work related to the workshop topic. Participants will have opportunities to explore how these significant experiences may affect individuals and families across generations while attending to what emerges through constellation work.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Each workshop explores a particular family or generational issue through a combination of teaching, group discussion, experiential exercises, and Family Constellations.
We begin by introducing the workshop’s theme and exploring relevant systemic principles and family dynamics. Depending on the topic, participants may take part in guided exercises that offer opportunities for reflection and new perspectives.
Constellation work may involve volunteer representatives. Participants may bring a personal issue related to the theme, participate as representatives, or observe the work as it unfolds.
We conclude with time for reflection, questions, and consideration of how the workshop’s insights may relate to participants’ own lives.
-
No. You do not need to have detailed knowledge of your family history to participate. Information about significant family events, relationships, losses, exclusions, illnesses, migrations, or other important experiences may be helpful, but it is not necessary to research your family before attending.
-
You can bring a wide range of concerns, including:
Family conflict or estrangement
Repeating relationship patterns
Chronic emotional or physical pain
Grief or loss
Blocks around career, finances, or purpose
Generational trauma
-
No experience is necessary. Whether you're new to Family Constellations or have participated before, you'll be supported in a welcoming, grounded space. Barry Krost explains the process and principles so everyone feels comfortable and included.
-
During a Family Constellation, participants may be invited to represent family members or other elements of another person's family system. Representatives do not act or perform a role. Instead, they are asked to notice and report what they experience as the constellation unfolds. Participating as a representative can offer a meaningful way to experience and learn about the Family Constellations process.
Learn more: What Are Representatives in Family Constellations? -
Confidentiality is an important part of creating a respectful and supportive workshop environment. Participants are expected to respect the privacy of others and not share personal information or experiences disclosed during the workshop outside the group.
Because workshops involve other participants, absolute confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. All participants are asked to respect the privacy, dignity, and personal experiences of others.
-
No special preparation is required. Plan to participate from a quiet, private space where you can remain comfortable and relatively undisturbed throughout the workshop. A reliable internet connection, camera, and microphone are recommended. You may also want to have water nearby and allow yourself some quiet time following the workshop.
-
Participation during pregnancy is a personal decision. Family Constellations may involve the exploration of emotionally significant topics, including family history, grief, trauma, and relationship dynamics.
Individuals who are pregnant are encouraged to consider their own circumstances and consult with their healthcare provider regarding any questions or concerns. Participation should only occur to the extent that feels appropriate for the individual.
Family Constellations is not a medical, psychological, prenatal, or healthcare service and is not intended to diagnose, treat, monitor, or prevent any medical or mental health condition.
If you have questions about participation during pregnancy, please contact Barry before registering.
-
Yes. Workshops offer several ways to participate and learn, even when you do not have your own constellation.
Representing someone in another participant’s constellation, observing the process, participating in exercises, and listening to the discussion can offer opportunities to experience systemic dynamics, develop new perspectives, and recognize possible connections with your own family history.
Because the number of constellations is limited, not everyone who brings an issue will necessarily have an individual constellation. Participation in the broader workshop is an important part of the experience.
-
Both offer opportunities to experience Family Constellations with live representatives, but they have different purposes.
Online Family Constellations workshops focus on a specific theme, such as generational trauma, family relationships, loss, or other significant family experiences. They combine teaching, discussion, experiential exercises, and constellation work to explore the chosen topic.
Regular online group sessions focus primarily on participants’ personal questions and the constellations that emerge from them, rather than a predetermined subject.
Both formats offer opportunities to bring a personal issue, participate as a representative, or observe the constellation process.
