What are Family & Systemic Constellations?

Family & Systemic Constellations, developed by Bert Hellinger, is a powerful healing modality which views many difficulties as originating in unresolved inter-generational trauma.

  • Work with physical symptoms, emotional patterns & relationship issues.
  • Quickly identify the deep underlying sources of these issues.
  • Restore harmony, a sense of belonging, agency and power.
  • Transform relationships.
  • Reintegrate with lost self-parts.
  • connect with ancestors and excluded family members.
  • remove the burden of the past from adults and children alike.
  • Develop a systemic, inclusive and compassionate facilitation ability.

”Apart from the fact that learning experiences like to hide in our normal everyday life, they tend to be mercilessly noticeable during my work with groups. Escaping, or ”know it already!”, does not work.
Uncomfortable? Yes. Boring? Never.

Especially new information, just acquired as ”secure knowledge” is prone to being pulled away from under my feet with regularity; and often the opposite of the logical proves correct, but without me being able to rely on it.

And, as time goes by, all my convictions about how life ought to work keep loosing their grip.

But what remains is that I keep stumbling on these breathtaking lookouts–showing the wonders of this life with all its beauty–that I can not help but want to share them with everyone and the entire world!”
