FAMILY CONSTELLATIONS

Have you seen Another Self on Netflix? It’s a romantic drama series where people go on this deep, emotional journey and end up transforming their relationships and lives.
Well… what if we could step into that world for a day—and come out with stronger bonds, more clarity, and a little more peace in our hearts (and work lives too)?

what is this workshop?

It’s called Systemic Work & Constellations, and it’s a powerful, eye-opening method to better understand the hidden dynamics in our families, friendships, and even our workplace teams.

Here are some of the (hidden) causes for troubled relationships we uncovered in the past workshops: a grandmother who lost her first love in WWII; family members who died in former Yugoslavia; (grand)parents who lost a child, (grand)fathers who had a “fiancée” on the side; the loss of a twin during pregnancy; a parent who was more connected to death than to life; the loss of a sibling; mothers whose hearts turned to stone due to unhappy marriages and no way out.

When we find & feel it, we heal it.

So what’s this all about?

Think of it like this: every family or group has invisible threads — connections, patterns, roles we didn’t even know we were playing. Those roles often hold us back. And sometimes these patterns keep repeating themselves over the generations (“intergenerational trauma”) until someone untangles the thread and resolves the issue. Systemic Work and Family Constellations help us spot those invisible patterns — and start untangling them.

We use real people as “stand-ins” for your family or work connections (don’t worry, you don’t need to bring anyone but yourself!). And through that, we see how things really move – or rather, get stuck — behind the scenes: what’s helping, what’s hurting, and what can heal.
In work settings, we can explore team tension, feeling stuck, or even conflicts with a boss or client. At home, we can look at recurring tensions with a partner, a parent, or even inherited family stuff that just won’t let go.

It’s like shining a light on the root system of your life’s tree  — once you see the roots, you understand the fruit.

 

Why come to the workshop?

Because we all carry things we didn’t choose. And we all deserve more peace. Some things this workshop helps with:
Heal and reconnect: Let go of old baggage you’ve inherited or picked up over the years — and make space for healthier, easier connections.
Break the cycle: Understand the why behind repeated arguments, behaviour patterns, or emotional blocks (especially with family).
Unblock work issues: Feeling stuck at work, having money issues, or it’s like you’re not being seen? We can explore that too— your role in your team, tension with a manager, or that weird project that just won’t move forward.
Get tools for real life: Not just awareness, but real tools to relate to your kids, deal with stress, tricky emotions, and relationship confusion.

If something in your life feels like it’s on “repeat” (that same fight, the same stuck feeling, the same emotional loop), you can bring that with you & we’ll work through it together.
Whether it’s a family thing, work stress, a relationship you can’t figure out… this space is here for that.

If you’re ready to dive in, you can join as an active participant. I’ll reach out to hear more about your question before we start.

Or… if you’re curious and just want to observe, you’re welcome to join as a representative. Even being there and watching others’ journeys can shift things for you — it’s that powerful!
