Activities at The Skyros Centre, Greece
HEALTH & WELLBEING: Family Constellations with John Harris
Sat 3 - Sat 10 Jun 2023
Family Constellations
This relatively new and unique approach to personal growth looks at issues, challenges, and even aspirations, from a systemic perspective.
Family Constellations are a way of representing and resolving personal and Family issues using a supportive group setting to create ‘Living Maps’. These are dynamic snapshots of the systems to which we belong using group members as ‘markers’. Importantly, they illuminate the relationships between the various elements within the system under consideration.
From this perspective we are more able to see how things are or were, and to see clearly where we are systemically entangled with people and events, including those that belong to wider familial, historical and cultural contexts.
Once a clear picture of systemic dynamics is achieved opportunities arise to restore order and balance with benefits to both the person presenting the issue and other members of their system.
