Description:

OPD Points: 10

Over the years we have watched many clients struggle with issues that are not personal, but are intergenerational and the client is the symptom bearer of a systemic issue.
Often we find ourselves reacting in ways that despite all the counselling we could not change. These behaviours, symptoms, relationship issues, financial patterns etc act as a symptom pointing to what needs to be seen and acknowledged in our ancestry. Once seen we can live our lives with a sense of freedom from the issues whilst feeling a deeper connection to our ancestors.
This two day in person workshop is an opportunity to experience constellations either in small groups, individual exercises, as a representative or a constellation of your own, although not always guaranteed.
Many of the problems we are experiencing in life and in our relationships are due to the fact that we carry the burden that one or more of our ancestors were unable to resolve at the time. Looking once again at what happened to those ancestors and giving now what could not be given then, can lead to resolution and lifting of the old burden. To bring about healing we use our natural ability to resonate with the feelings of others to “bring back“ momentarily those distressed or excluded ancestors, allowing them to “relive” and “resolve” their painful episodes, undoing the present family member’s entanglement with that ancestor.
This is a method of looking at the entanglements, lack of support, no-flow of love and disharmonies within a family and the effect that has on us, ie: depression, anger or illness etc, and restoring the gifts and support of our ancestors.
Brenda Sutherland has taught Family Constellations internationally over the last decade and continually creates innovative ways of combining constellation work with emerging techniques to create a fun and dynamic program.
