What are Family Constellations? Family Constellations as a Healing Modality Family Constellations is a method used to bring reveal entanglements within a family system, so that they can be acknowledged, in order to bring healing for the client. Psychologists may refer to it as therapy. As I am not a therapist I think of it as a method, modality or tool that I work with. Up until I became aware of Family Constellations, the healing work that I had done…
This Constellation Journey will be run over 3 dates 10 June, 1 July and 22 July. 5.30pm – 9.00pm Underpinning Family Constellations are the Orders of Love. One of the orders is that of Belonging – that all members of the family system have the right to belong.

In human terms he would be called the Black Sheep of the family – daring to do things differently from the family norm. In Family Constellations, according to…
I need to change my story that goes “My father almost died”. I was speaking to my friend Sam. I was sitting in the same spot in the garden that I’d been sitting in a few days earlier holding a dove that had flown into a window. A raptor was sitting in a tree opposite us. Waiting.

When the wind is blowing like this – the Air element is making its presence known. The Air Element is about communication – from creating the sound of your words as air passes over your vocal cords to the airwaves that support electronic communication.
