Our deep need to belong, the ‘rules’ of the collective conscious, blind love and magical thinking, the discomfort of having a bad conscious – these may result in what I think of as the (hidden) cost of belonging.

I’m hoping that we can gather 3 – 5 people together to explore this topic. We come into the session with no ‘real issue’, rather allow the process to reveal when we cannot see.

The inspiration comes from working with “Movement of Spirit Systemic Exercises “developed by Brigitte Champetier de Ribes, which we used in a peer group when we ran out of things to constellate.  In these exercises are mini constellations with pre-determined roles based on the theme.  The painting will be created tapping into what was revealed in the exercise.  From there we will move to a group constellation – working with what has arisen from the painting or drawing.

I’ve been attending Pia Kalhof’s training for the past year – Spiritual Constellations combined with Art Therapy. So want to bring a creative process to combine with systemic exercises, ending with group constellation in the more silent Movement of Spirit style.

It’s short notice – who would like to join this Saturday at 11.30am (West Coast Time), 5.30pm (South Africa Time). Put aside 3,5 hours with a break for a meal.

Please have on hand paper,paints or crayons or whatever you would like to creatively represent the mini constellation.

I will be using this workshop as part of my practical work for my training with Pia Storm Kalhof.  You will remain anonymous.  The session will not be recorded. I will be writing about my experiences working in this way and insights into my journey as a facilitator.
