Participate as a client, representative, or witness in our monthly in person Family Constellations workshops to experience this powerful healing process that releases entanglements with the past.
​In our monthly in person Family Constellations workshops, we offer an opportunity for individuals to experience this work as clients, representatives, or witnesses.Family Constellations is a unique approach that delves into the issues and dynamics that hide within our family system, sometimes spanning across generations.
According to Bert Hellinger, every family system follows natural laws that affect its health, known as the "Orders of Love." When these laws are violated, it can harm relationships and lead to entanglements. Family Constellations workshops can help reveal where these orders are broken and repair the source of entanglements.To uncover what is unseen, the process begins with participants volunteering to stand in as family members, ancestors, events, or even physical conditions that are significant to the client and their family system.
These representatives don't act out a role, they take on the essential qualities of the individual they are representing. Through this process, representatives offer insight into the past, present, and future of the family system and provide clues that can help bring healing to the client and their family. Together, we observe as the representatives move, speak, and interact with each other. This process may seem mysterious, but it is transformative and truthful. |

Family systems are held together by bonds between members related by biology. Children are bonded to their parents and those who came before and they to their children and descendants. The family feels whole when these bonds are maintained. Life flows through these bonds along with strength and love. When these bonds are interrupted or blocked by overwhelming pain, suffering or trauma they are replaced by entanglements which hold the family together by merging, identifying, and sacrificing to avoid the pain and terror that is felt without these family bonds. The past becomes more important than the present and it becomes increasingly challenging for the family system to support life going forward. These bonds can be repaired and the family system healed when the events that caused the overwhelming pain, suffering or trauma are acknowledged in a way that allows their effects to dissolve or diminish so that strength and love flow again.
