Family Constellations Workshops in Los Angeles

When willpower and determination have not made a change in a personal struggle or symptom, it is quite possible there is a deeper hidden loyalty to a family issue that may go back generations. Constellations work can reveal these invisible bonds preventing expansion and wellness.

Join a Constellation Workshop in Los Angeles

Workshops are 5 hours long. We hold seats for 20 people. We work for as long as the group has energy.

Represent/Resonate

Working in the Knowing Field as a representative is a very powerful healing process and is oftentimes all that is needed to gain clarity on an issue in your life.

Many people who are new to Constellations work do not understand that representing in a Constellation is another way of receiving a Constellation because when you are chosen to represent, you are also working on a similar exploration.

Receive a Constellation

Receiving a constellation involves working with the facilitator, witnessing the movements and messages of the representatives and following the discovery process that is revealed by the group.

Every workshop decides that day by draw who will receive a constellation. To request a constellation, simply put your name in the bowl.

How do I gurantee a constellation for myself?
How old do I have to be to join a constellation?

16 and older are welcome to join.

It is advised that children under the age of 16 not attend a constellation workshop at all. This is because the bond with their parents is still in development and it is not yet time for them to take on the process of learning about their parent’s history or challenges. It is very common for children to want to take on the struggles of their parents and this work is all about releasing a child from the complex entanglements that occur in childhood. If you are a parent who wants to help your child overcome a specific struggle, rather that work with the child, it is more effective to work with your own family dynamics with your own parents. This will change you which will in turn change how you relate to your child.

It is also advised that people be at least 16 before joining a workshop because often a parent wants the child to attend and the child does not yet know if it is something they would personally find useful to their unique challenge.

We can certainly set up constellations for young people but it is best to have everyone participating in such a workshop be young. The adult parents and guardians attend as witnesses to their work and are invited by the young group so that the energy of the Field can be a match for where the child is coming from in an objective way.
How do I know if a Constellation workshop is right for me?

It is not possible for me to know if a group workshop is the right approach for your specific problem. A group experience is not for everyone. There needs to be a certain amount of stability in the nervous system of the participant to ensure that the group experience is not overwhelming. Meeting other people takes courage and strength and group dynamics are always unpredictable.

These workshops place great importance on going slow, resting, and not socializing about the work during the breaks. But if you are uncertain about whether a workshop is right for you, I recommend joining once as a representative. This will allow you to step out of the event if you discover it is not for you.

If you are new to Constellations work and have never attended a workshop before, it is best to join as a representative at least once before requesting to receive a personal Constellation. Your first workshop will help you understand the difference between being a representative and being a receiver of a Constellation. You will then know if this work is right for you.

At Urban Healers of LA we set up 3 Constellations per workshop. This means 3 people will receive a Constellation through the process of working with representatives.

Joining the workshop as a representative first will ensure you have a full understanding of how this healing method works and if you feel it is right for you.

We wish we could set up Constellations for everyone who wanted them on the day of the workshop. But in Constellation work there are no delays, there is only right timing.

It is also not advised that pregnante women join a workshop until they are at least two weeks away from delivery.

If you feel the struggle you are seeking assistance with is not something you want to bring to a group dynamic, there is a very effective way to work with the Constellations approach in a one-on-one setting.
What is the difference between a group constellation and a private constellation?

A group constellation uses the energy and input of other people to map out the aspects of an issue. We call this process “representing.”

When working with a private setup, you and the facilitator step in and out of representing all the aspects. We are the only two representatives that would otherwise be a group of people. Learning how to step in and out of representing an aspect is not difficult to learn and only takes a few minutes to teach.

Some issues are better suited to a group investigation while other issues are best served in a one on one setting. Issues that are good to bring to a group involve looking at ancestral dynamics that go back generations. Issues that work well in a private constellation involve examining your personal mixed feelings about an issue or it involves a sensitive topic you would rather not have known by a group of people.

The group workshops are ceremonies. The people who gather together feel drawn to that appointed time and place. Everyone who comes together on that day connects in a profound way to all the work done, which is shared and released as a group.

Group workshops are a phenomenal way to connect and gain confindence in socializing. But there is no pressure to join social gatherings. One way of working is not better than another way. Each is a different kind of tool. It all depends on which tool is a match for what you are aiming to achieve.
Where did the family constellation method come from?

Family Systems Constellations comes from the life work of Burt Hellinger, a German man who left a legacy of work that is recognized as the foundational world view of Constellations. This world view and approach to healing is best understood in his book: Love’s Hidden Symmetry.

Constellations work continues to expand and grow from the foundations established by Burt Hellinger. This way of working is the inevitable culmination of 200 years of psychology unifying with thousands of years of shamanism. It invites the non-verbal, timeless mysterious element at the heart of all reality while also navigating the verbal and analytical mind.

What does it mean to represent or "resonate" in a constellation?

A representative is someone who agrees to step into the Knowing Field and receive the energies and messages of a specific aspect of the issue being looked at. A representative is a messenger who simply shares what happens when they step into the empty space created by the circle and interacts with the other representatives of the issue. In this way, their interactions reveal hidden dynamics of a family system, or a business system depending on what is being examined.
Why is it called constellations?

The name of this work is a metaphor that references the star points in the sky. A star constellation creates a shape that we asign a picture to. Each star point is part of a larger context. The same is true in how we look at an issue. A representative is a single “star point” that maps out a larger understanding of the whole situation beyond what has been considered thus far.
Is a constellation dangerous?

These workshops do not ever engage in fast or aggressive movements. Nor do they require athletic abilities.

They do, however, reveal hidden truths about a situation which may or may not disrupt the status quo of one’s life. Only join a constellation when you feel ready to learn something new about your life, your family dynamics, and your potential.
How many people will be at the workshop?

It is not possible to predict how many people will join a workshop in a given month. If you join, there will be one more participant. The number of people at a workshop is a perfect match for the work that the group wants to achieve.

These workshops occur in my back yard which holds a maximum of 25 people. This way of working is a community approach, which means people gather together to help one another. If you are concerned that the gathering will not be large enough, I recommend finding an International Constellations workshop that has large audiences. If you are concerned the gathering will be too large, I recommend considering a one-on-one session or scheduling a private gathering with friends and family.

It is not in the power of a facilitator to determine or guarantee the size of the group that gathers together.

Constellations group work needs at least 8 people in order to properly unfold in its group format. It opperates most effectively with 12 to 15 people.
What if I don't want to participate as a representative and just want to receive a constellation?

The constellation approach is a group process. If you wish to receive a constellation, you will need people to come together and help you do that. Everyone who attends a workshop is part of a a collective discovery process. To leave the workshop early and not be available to help build other constellations is not a collaborative perspective. Please make plans to attend the whole workshop and participate as a representative in other constellations. Do not use the energy and effort of the group without reciprocating that energy and effort back to those who need it.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

A Constellation is something that is received/witnessed/experienced by a specific client. The representatives are the people who illuminate the different aspects of the client’s issue.

Representatives also receive the healing movement of the Constellation and gain great insight into their own life challenges.

Very often representing in a Constellation prepares a person for the one they will receive. And sometimes representing is all that is needed to work through an issue.
