What we’re about

Systemic Constellation is a powerful therapeutic methodology for exploring and resolving issues across a wide ​spectrum of applications such as family, relationships, friendship, work, health or creativity.

Modern psychology recognises that many of our challenges do not originate in our own personal history, but ​instead are rooted and influenced by the experiences of those who came before us. Emergent psychological ​theories acknowledge that the unresolved traumas of our ancestors can impact us in the here and now and can ​manifest for example as negative patterns, unhelpful dynamics, limiting behaviour, health problems or a sense of ​being stuck.

Systemic Constellations is a phenomeological approach that takes these transgenerational elements into account ​when exploring an issue. This gives the opportunity for deeper and wider exploration of interconnections.

During a Constellation we might use people or floor markers to represent elements of the issue, e.g. a person, an event, a location ​etc... By using representatives, an interactive live map of the issue emerges through which the issue holder can ​gain insight into the problem. Resolution is sought first by acknowledging what appears, and then by remedying ​this with resolving statements or movements until an optimal sense of ease and acceptance is experienced by all ​participants.

Testimonials:

  • “What a pleasant surprise to discover Constellations in the City hidden inside St Ethelburga’s Centre for Reconciliation. It felt like entering another world in which I was wrapped in a warm but discreet welcome. Of the constellation workshops I have participated in this one stood out for depth and gentleness of the work and the confident humility of the practitioners. I continue to feel the pleasant reverberations and look forward to attending another workshop soon”.

I look forward to attending and experiencing the evening's unfoldments each time, and I am not disappointed. I always go home with a feeling of having spent my time well, and feeling nourished.
 The space is well held, the people are kind, gentle and generous with their attention and energy. 
This is a powerful method of accessing deeply rooted beliefs and habits, a must try for those on the fence.”
