Frequently Asked Questions
What happens at a systemic constellation workshop, what can I expect?
The client or facilitator chooses representatives that relate to the question or concern (typically guided by the facilitator). Representatives are invited to report their experience and experiment with certain movements or arrangements. The facilitator and client may illuminate additional pertinent history or context that comes to light.
The representatives either spontaneously find a position of comfort, ease and strength, or the facilitator may guide them to experiment with a particular physical arrangement. Sometimes, healing phrases are suggested or spoken. The client receives a new interior picture of the current question or concern and integrates this new picture.
What do you mean by ‘contemplative practices’?
Examples include, but are not limited to the following: silence, stillness, mindfulness meditation, prayer, centering prayer, metta (loving-kindness) meditation, journaling, walking meditation, the Way of Council, Tai chi, Qigong, Yoga, creating an altar, reading scripture or poetry, forgiveness practice, gratitude practice, and making offerings, bowing, chanting, fasting and/or solitude in nature.
