Systemic work

Family constellations are a form of coaching or guidance that allows you to look at your challenges in life from the broader perspective of your family system. Who we are today is deeply connected to our ancestors and the underlying relationships in our families. A constellation is a visualisation of the patterns and dynamics that influence you. In a constellation, unconscious patterns are brought to light, making it possible to (gradually) break free from them. In my experience, this can lead to a freer and more fulfilling life.

During a family constellation, we engage in ‘systemic observation’. This means paying attention to the vast web in which all individuals and events within a system are interconnected and influence each other in the past, present, and future. The system we look at is often your family, but it could also be about your work, a community, your own body or personal system. You are the starting point and your soul leads the way.

We will start with a brief intake conversation, in which your question, wish or desire becomes clear. Then, we’ll work with your question, not by thinking about it or analysing it, but primarily by feeling into it. Next, we explore the situation as it is now, by placing elements related to your question in the room. In a group setting, I’ll ask you to ‘set up’ people to represent the elements connected to your question. In a one-on-one constellation, we’ll use objects or mats (markers) to represent these people or themes. Then, we simply observe what unfolds. Once the situation is clear, it becomes visible what is needed to restore flow in the system. Usually, we create a healing movement for the system by acknowledging or accepting something. We end the constellation when it feels right for you, and make sure you are calm and okay to go home.
