Online Family Constellations Workshops

Our online Family Constellations workshops explore the unresolved generational issues that continue to affect your life and a way to free yourself from them.

Our online workshops which focus on special topics will allow you to experience the power of Family Constellations to find solutions for your challenging family and generational issues. Participants come from countries all around the world and from diverse backgrounds to meet together virtually.

The different workshop topics offered give you an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of how those issues affected your childhood, your adult life, as well as those who came before you (sometime going back many generations).

​These online therapeutic workshops can include lectures, discussions, meditations, exercises and Family Constellations experiences in group on a specific topic with notes and charts provided afterward.

When we setup an online Family Constellation during the workshop we begin with a seeker (or issue holder) who would like to explore the issue in their own family system. Then, other participants volunteer to represent family members, ancestors, events, or significant conditions. The remaining participants become the witnesses. 

​Together, we observe the feeling, words and interactions of these representatives to uncover the dynamics related to the issue. 

As the facilitator, I guide the Family Constellations process by asking discerning and intuitive questions, adding additional representatives and recommending healing sentences to find a  therapeutic resolution to these complex family issues.

Challenging Loyalties: Entanglements That Are Difficult to Release
Saturday, May 31, 2025, 10:00am - 1:30pm (CDT)
$50.00 US - Discussion and Experiential ​

We can observe in Family Constellations that some clients have a great difficulty letting go of certain entanglements. The loyalty and blind love that are so deeply set into their sense of self and experience can make a resolution feel strange, uncomfortable, lonely and less intense. Letting go of the entanglement can feel unsafe. Family systems can also be resistant to members releasing entanglement by increasing feeling of guilt and fear.

We will look the dynamics behind these kinds of entanglements and ways to support the client to let go of them. The workshop will include an overview of the topic, a guided meditation or zoom room exercise for the entire group and one or more Family Constellations with participants.

Family Constellations for Illness and Disease
Friday, June 20, 2025, 6:00 pm - 9:30 pm (CDT)
$50.00 US - Discussion and Experiential ​

Family Constellations can be effective for revealing the hidden systemic dynamics and inherited traumas that are often behind illnesses and diseases that are an expression of shame, guilt, mental illness, violence, war, immigration or an attempt to resolve belonging to our parents and/or the family system. 

Constellations reveal how the experiences of the past can dominate our present. Often without being aware, we are reliving the suffering of our ancestors through physical, emotional, mental or spiritual suffering. How can we move back into a beneficial connection to our family system so that we stand in the flow of life in a good way?

This workshop is appropriate to those who are new to Family Constellations or more experienced participants of facilitators. ​ The workshop will include an overview of the topic, a guided meditation or zoom room exercise for the entire group and one or more Family Constellations with participants.

Restoring the Strength and Protection of Men in Family Systems
Saturday, June 21, 2024 at 10:00am - 1:30pm (CDT) 
$50.00 US - Discussion and Experiential
 
When men stand in their place in the family system, everyone relaxes and feels safe. Men are the natural protectors of family systems and their willingness to defend the family, even with their life, allows everyone to thrive. It also gives men their essential sense of purpose and powers their strength. Men are most whole when they stand as the guardian of the family and can stand in as equal partners and supportive fathers.
 
Unfortunately, men are often not in their place as protectors, nor do they truly know to do so. They may feel something is wrong and missing but they don’t know where to find it. This may be so painful that men feel powerless, angry, and lost. Their connection to their family and the world may feel disjointed and empty. They may use control, rage, and violence rather their strength and protection in the family system.
 
Children at a certain age have a natural movement towards their father. Standing with him supports our exploration of the world, relationships, tasks and risk taking. This can be interrupted if he is unavailable, or we are prevented from reaching out to him. Restoring father’s place in the family system or finding alternative sources of strength and protection can be invaluable to our success in life.
 
The dynamics in couples can be very challenging if men are not able to take their place and provide the value that only they can provide. When they can stand in their place, they may find it much easier to respect and protect the value that can only be provided by women and mother of their children.

In this workshop we will look together as a group at how Family Constellations can help restore men to standing in the family system as protectors, fathers and partners where everyone relaxes and feels safe.  The workshop will include an overview of the topic, a guided meditation or zoom room exercise for the entire group and one or more Family Constellations with participants.

Scapegoats and Systemic Sacrifice
Friday, July 25, 2025, 6:00 pm - 9:30 pm (CDT)
$50.00 US - Discussion and Experiential 

Many family systems with traumatic and challenging histories choose children to carry a heavy, shameful burden as a scapegoat. Often these are children who are most entangled with someone shameful in the past who must be excluded, concealed or punished. The family scapegoat ends up getting criticized, blamed for everything that goes wrong within the family particularly for those past and present family members who will not take responsibility for their own actions and mistakes. Sometimes scapegoats hold the pain and suffering of the family system in the form of physical or mental illness.

Scapegoats carry their burden out of a need for belonging but are faced with exclusion, concealment and gaslighting. Often they are the symptom-bearer of whatever secrets and suffering that is hidden deep in the family. Their symptoms draw attention away from l what is unresolved and terrifying. The scapegoat is also the one most likely to care about for justice in the family, defending themselves and other family members from perpetration but without hope of healthy belonging and love.

In this group workshop we will look at the hidden dynamics behind scapegoats and explore systemic solutions that bring order, healing and relief to those burdened and alone. The workshop will include an overview of the topic, a guided meditation or zoom room exercise for the entire group and one or more Family Constellations with participants.

A Family Constellations View Of Trauma and Its Resolution
Saturday, August 16, 2025, 10:00am - 1:30pm (CDT)
​$50.00 US - Discussion and Experiential  

In this workshop we will explore how Family Constellations views trauma and the unique ways it resolves it. We will examine how entanglements and loyalties to past trauma can show up in our bodies in the present engaging our own trauma physiology particularly the amygdala and limbic system. We will see how locating the original trauma can help to relieve symptoms to those in the past and the present. 
The workshop will include an overview of the topic, a guided meditation or zoom room exercise for the entire group and one or more Family Constellations with participants.

This workshop is appropriate to those who are new to Family Constellations and more experienced participants of facilitators. This is not a workshop for someone in an active crisis.

Perpetrator and Victim Entanglements
Saturday, September 27, 2025, 6:00 pm - 9:30 pm (CDT)
$50.00 US - Discussion and Experiential    

Every family system has the experience of the victim-perpetrator dynamics. When these traumas are unresolved, they continue to create suffering for those who come after until this original experience is allowed to be cleared and resolved into peace. Sometimes there are multiple events over many generations that become systemic patterns that require healing. In cases where there is murder or violence that is concealed symptoms like schizophrenia or other forms of psychosis can become generational patterns.

In this workshop we will explore how to find reconciliation and resolution for these dynamics and patterns to restore healthy balance and boundaries for the client and their family system. The workshop will include an overview of the topic, a guided meditation or zoom room exercise for the entire group and one or more Family Constellations with participants.

Narcissism in Family Systems
Saturday, October 18, 2025, 10:00am - 1:30pm (CDT)
$50.00 US - Discussion and Experiential  


Narcissism in Family Constellations is seen as a systemic disorder, one that affects everyone in the system and some very strongly.  Narcissistic personality disorder involves a pattern of self-centered, arrogant thinking and behavior, a lack of empathy and consideration for other people, and an excessive need for admiration. Often, we find missing maternal energy far back in the system is the source for this disorder. Narcissism is always challenging. Its paradox, complexity and gaslighting make it hard to see the facts and discover a solution.

We will look at the ancestral origins and hidden dynamics of narcissism and look for resolutions. The workshop will include an overview of the topic, a guided meditation or zoom room exercise for the entire group and one or more Family Constellations with participants.

This workshop is NOT designed as a substitute for therapy with a psychiatrist, psychotherapist, or other mental health services professional, or for any other professional consultation. Family Constellations are designed as an educational (and often spiritual) experience only.

Completing Our Interrupted Reaching Out Movement to Father
Friday, November 14, 2025, 6:00 pm - 9:30 pm (CST)
$50.00 US - Discussion and Experiential  


One of the key dynamics we explore in Family Constellations is the “Interrupted Reaching Out Movement” between children and their parents. When a child’s movement to their parents is disrupted by a physical or emotional separation, strong feelings of hurt, rejection, despair, hate, resignation, and grief can occur.  Sometimes these interruption are systemic and reach back many generations. 

As children develop they have a natural instinct or movement towards their father. If they are blocked by their mother or rejected by their father this movement can be interrupted. This interruption can have a profound effect on developing connections and relationships, taking risks, finding success in work and career and feeling safe.  In this workshop we will explore how we can complete the movement to father and receive the essential benefit of standing in his sphere.

The workshop will include an overview of the topic, a guided meditation or zoom room exercise for the entire group and one or more Family Constellations with participants.

ADHD From a Family Constellations Perspective
Saturday, December 20, 2025, 10:00am - 1:30pm (CST)
$50.00 US - Discussion and Experiential ​

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental health disorder that includes a combination of persistent problems, Including inattention (not being able to keep focus), hyperactivity (excess movement that is not fitting to the setting) and impulsivity (hasty acts that occur in the moment without thought). In Family Constellations we look at ADHD as an issue in the family system that is being expressed by specific members out of loyalty / entanglement with unresolved trauma and suffering from past generations. ADHD appears to be a past panic and terror from a previous event that is still unresolved.

The workshop will include an overview of the topic, a guided meditation or zoom room exercise for the entire group and one or more Family Constellations with participants.

Family Constellations Online Workshops Testimonials

"One of the most beneficial aspects of attending ongoing group Family Constellation workshops with Barry Krost that I have personally experienced is the positive shifting of family patterns - even when you are not chosen as ‘the client’. I have received physical and energetic confirmation that an excluded family member has been brought back into the family system and order has been restored even though this  family situation had never been directly addressed in an individual or group constellation. Barry is extremely adept at reading the energy of the room, whether in person or on zoom, and prioritizing the situations he feels most urgently need to be shifted in that moment. In this way everyone involved in the constellation, from the client to the witness, is reaping the maximum energetic reward from the constellation experience as we have similar generational patterns, entanglements, and exclusions in our family lineages. What’s the expression…Priceless!"

-- Lisa H, Palatine, Illinois, USA

​
"As a teacher and facilitator of Family and Systemic Constellations, Barry Krost is one of those rare gems whose words and practices align and land in a place of heart-centered compassion and authenticity. Throw in some solid humility and a dash of humor, and the outcome results in a lighthearted sense of safety for the client/student on the receiving end to explore their family/systemic dynamics in greater depth. His grasp of the conceptual is masterful, and yet, he is open to being challenged and changed, as he journeys through the work with you as a gentle guide. I’m delighted and relieved to know that Barry’s wisdom is reaching far and wide these days, and am deeply honored to travel in the same sacred healing circles as this gifted soul!"

Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), MSW, Certified Energy Healer, Facilitator of Systemic Constellations with Horse

"Thanks so much Barry for a truly enlightening seminar! I now have a clearer understanding of narcissism, the core of current politics, what creates mass murderers, and the dynamics of murder in general. It will take a while to digest all of the information on perpetration both political and familial and the systemic solutions. IROm or interrupted movement is always at work. Your seminar was so instructive and valuable! "
 
-- Vicki Santell, Florida, USA


​“Life as I know it has been shifting in the most peacefully invigorating ways since my first Family Constellation Workshop with Barry Krost. Each time, no matter whether I’m the client, the representative, or the witness, I experience elements of my family and interpersonal relationships, as well as life in general showing up in incrementally improved ways.

Barry’s passion and enthusiasm for ancestral healing and personal growth is infectious. While respectfully honoring and communicating Bert Hellinger’s foundational teachings, Barry is a unique and masterful facilitator, teacher, mentor, and healer. He is continually implementing innovative workshops to address current life situations, working with energies in all realms, in addition to addressing foundational issues.

Barry often humorously tells us that he doesn’t know what the $#^@&* he’s doing. It is obvious to all of us fortunate to be in a therapeutic session with him, that Barry’s ability to be in the flow of the present moment informs his ability to tune into and execute exactly what is needed in each moment of healing”

-- Lisa H, Illinois, USA


"It took me many years to attend a Family Constellation Workshop with Barry Krost. I tend to lean towards evidence-based interventions that are logical and pragmatic. Eventually I found this approach to be limiting, and my conventional strategies of psychotherapy and medication were not working. I felt stuck, in a rut, revisiting the same past hurts again and again and living a day-to-day life haunted by a pervasive anxiety and chronic pain. One day, I took a what-the-hell it's only $45 attitude, and figured at the very least it couldn't hurt. 

"I was completely blown away. This form of therapy is so much more holistic than anything that I have tried before, and I have done the gamut (CBT, EMDR, MBSR, somatic-emotional release, client-centered psychotherapy, internal family systems, etc.) Family Constellation Workshops are physical, kinesthetic, emotional, and spiritual work. I grew up in a less than supportive environment and I tend to be highly critical of myself, and often unfairly of others. The unconditional and unwavering support of this group was truly profound. The people in the workshop helped ground me in knowledge that I began to accept at an emotional level rather than superficial intellectual understanding.

To give an example, at one point I leaned back into a line of about seven women who were standing there with the sole purpose of supporting me. As my resistance and need to be in control finally began to soften, the woman behind me spontaneously began to hum like a mother does to a child. Almost immediately, I melted and I began to weep, not in the half choked sobs I am familiar with, but a gentle catharsis of grief I had been holding on to for years. I had held so many others up in times of pain, given when I had nothing left to give, and now I leaned back into the steady strength of a literal line of women and a symbolic lineage of mothers. Their wordless, selfless compassion registered in my body and soul and lifted me up. Barry intuited that I was rushing myself, ashamed of taking too much time... and he told me "take all the time you need. This is for you," and he whispered to the woman behind me "she's never had this before." He was right. For the first time I truly *felt* that I was not alone. I was supported, I was cherished, loved, and safe. In the sacredness of that space I was finally able to *receive* and I will carry it with me always. "
