FAMILY CONSTELLATION WORKSHOPS

Introduction to Family Constellations
Creating flow

Facilitated by Samvedam Randles, Dipl. Psych., LMHC

Tomorrow is only the future if we create it anew. So often we tend to repeat the past, are stuck in certain patterns that don’t allow us to create a new flow.

Family Constellation is a unique form of ancestral healing that addresses the places in ourselves or our family systems, where the flow of life is inhibited.

Integrating past hurts and releasing the ghosts of the past open us up to create a future that does not repeat past patterns.

Instead, you experience a new freedom to choose your own creativity on your life path.

This freedom is priceless!

Constellation Workshop

The Inner Art of Breathing

Saturday Workshop

Facilitated by Samvedam Randles, Dipl. Psych., LMHC

Do you struggle with an inner restlessness and don’t know where you belong? Do you find that similar unwanted themes keep repeating in your life?

Family constellation work addresses such issues. We look at transgenerational trauma transmissions that may have landed with you or your loved ones. Once we find them we begin to unravel what holds you in its grip and hopefully find a way to clear it.

Leaning back into our roots and belonging brings a beautiful peacefulness to our soul, from where we can live a lighter and deeper life.
