Our deepest wish is that we and our loved ones thrive and that our families be filled with love and joy. When instead we experience ilness, failure and conflict, we want to know why. Allergies? Dysfunctional family? Bad genes? German psychotherapist Bert Hellinger has a different answer. His Family Constellations begin with the idea that instead of originating in an individual‘s biographical history from birth to the present, dysfunction and suffering often relate to painful events in the family‘s past. One of the most profound therapies in Europe today, Family Constellation work is now available in the U.S.

Sometimes our way of belonging is to suffer like those who came before us. One may become “entangled” in the difficult fate of an ancestor and unconsciously draw unhappiness, failure, addiction or illness into one‘s own life. The purpose of a family constellation is to reveal the hidden dynamic of such a situation and point the way toward resolution.

EVENT OVERVIEW:
Family Constellations allow people to see the hidden dynamics in a family that hold a difficult problem in place. In a safe and gentle process, people may look at current issues and understand them in a new way that resonates and heals at deeper levels.  Some speak of healing at the soul level.
