The classical Family Constellation is done as a group process. I tried to explain the important things about it in the menu “Constellations”.
You can participate in a constellation workshop in 3 different ways: offering your support as a representative, attending as a spectator or having your own constellation.
If you would like to participate as a representative it is not necessary for you to have any background knowledge. The only thing that you have to do is to be open for what will happen. A constellation is not a play or a drama, there are no actors. Representatives are people who simply make themselves available for the benefit of a healing process. After the constellation you will simply step out of your role.
If you would like to participate but still have concerns you can participate simply as a spectator. No one will force you to make yourself available as representative until you decide to do so.
If you decide to participate doing your own constellation, you can book a place up to one week before the term. I always advise to clarify the following questions prior to the constellation:
-
Are there early deceased children/ stillbirths / soldiers killed in action / accident victims or suicides/murders that happened to siblings, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles?
-
Did a woman of the family die in childbed or was she seriously harmed at the birth of a child?
-
Was or is someone physically or mentally handicapped?
-
Are there illegitimate children?
-
Was a child given to foster parents or relatives?
-
Are there adoptions?
-
Are there former spouses, fiancés and/or children from these relationships (regarding myself, my parents or grandparents)?
-
Was a member of the family victim of a crime or another unjustice?
-
Was someone expelled from his home country?
-
Are there or have there been tragic fates in a different form?
-
Are there recurrences of diseases, events, isssues?
