“As a representative, am I just doing the helping, and the job is done?”
In some circles, the position of the representative is regarded as 'being a helper to solve the problem of the 'client'. Facilitating a constellation needs a constant, focused, and wide-open awareness. Still, I will never call it work, as a job-to-be-done. Being in Respectful Coherence with a Knowing Field is something entirely different. It is, as I experience it, far more rewarding. Representatives are, without a doubt, an important part of a constellation setup. But forge

Unfamiliar with Systemic Work?
Almost any request can be placed in a systemic context: The explored environment can be the inner landscape, relations within the family and/or work situation, the housing situation and also combinations of all. The client asks other participants to represent a person who, or an aspect that plays a role in her or his situation. When the representers find their place in the room (status quo) we will witness how the relations between the invited aspects actually are. Sometimes

What about our Immune System?
Our common approach to and appreciation of our Immune System is in relation to our physical body. By now, it is already scientifically proven how feelings, emotions, and overwhelming situations affect the Immune Response immediately. Unfortunately with a lasting impact. How can we restore ourselves? It appears that the way we appreciate our Immune System plays an important role. Should we reorient our appreciation of our own immune system even further? https://sanje.tv/24-fes

Open Air PureCranio / Sutivan June 2025
Open Air PureCranio is a very special Relaxation Opportunity. May 2025, Brać, Sutivan - in a beautiful olive grove close to the sea. PureCranio outside amidst birds flying, singing, close to the sea with the sound of waves running on to the beach is very different from Cranio inside. Relaxation through cranio gets a different dimension here. In two days, we applied four basic hand positions as an introduction to the use of craniosacral techniques for deep relaxation. This w

PureCranio for the Cranium
Relaxing the brain … The brain? Yes, the physical brain. PureCranio for the Cranium starts with releasing the sutures ... When should one apply an anatomical biomechanical approach, and when is a meditative approach more suitable? How does one transition from a biomechanic to a biodynamic to a fluid approach? These questions are addressed in the first part of Cranio for the Cranium (1), aimed at calming the brain. Concepts such as 'doing', 'helping', 'supporting', 'facilitati

Craniosacral Therapy or Craniosacral Relaxation?
In my personal opinion, 'Therapy' in general relates to treatments of exactly defined restrictions with an exact defined modality; Undeniably clear became the fact that this often leads to treatment of symptoms because a deeper cause has little or no chance to reveal itself. With Craniosacral Relaxation, we offer a possibility through various techniques to delve deeper and find a cause, treat the restriction, and its compensations. Unfortunately, the word Relaxation is mostly

Constellation or Constellation Workshop?

At around 1 pm there is a lunch break and there are short breaks between the constellations. Although not a workshop there is of co

The constellations unfold slow ... Why?
"Your constellations are generally slower as is often usual", says feedback from many clients. Systemic Constellations unfold hidden aspects slow for a good reason .. "Constellation Work needs that Slowness for many reasons because if it works too fast, too many aspects will not emerge." Sometimes it is as if a constellation will 'stand still' forever. Participants start to feel impatient. But often something similar to craniosacral work is happening. In craniosacral work we

Systemic Family Constellations and Craniosacral work
"What did Constellation Work do for you?" "First of all, it brought me very close in contact with my own physical and emotional body, and from there even closer to understanding my bodymind. Constellation Work in a group had a greater effect on my emotional self-awareness than craniosacral work. However, I hold the idea that systemic work cannot replace craniosacral work and vice versa. "Systemic Constellations are connected with the 'Knowing Field, and Craniosacral Work is m

A certain hierarchy in a cranio session?
“Normally the dynamic in our bodies feels symmetric in a relaxed manner. If not, there must be an active compensation to walk upright and in a straight line. Many clients come for a cranio session, unaware that their complaint may concern a dynamic compensation that enables them to live with the real problem. What I do first ...? Checking for a pattern of tensions is a search for forces that compromise the symmetry and, with that, the relaxation. Usually, it feels as if a com

PureCranio 1: The Essence of Relaxation
PureCranio 1 - May 2021 Instead of learning a set of Relaxation Techniques, we explored the Essence of Relaxation, simply through careful touch.
