We invite you to come and explore the wonders of systemic constellation work with us! ​

 

A Constellation Evening or Day can last between 3 and 6 hours and includes a short explanation, Q&A and constellations. 

​

A Constellation Workshop can last between 7 and 14 hours during 1, 2 or 3 days and includes exploration of the 'mechanics' of constellation work, exercises, Q&A and of course also constellations.

​

Systemic Constellations are open to anyone, can be organized on request for specific groups, addressing specific issues for individuals, family settings or work.

​​​​

For those who are unfamiliar with Systemic Work:

Systemic Constellation Work explores a wider perspective through representations of aspects which are connected to the client's request. Requests can address virtually every aspect of one's life. The explored environment can be the inner landscape, the family and/or work situation, the housing situation and also combinations of all. The client asks other participants to represent a person or an aspect of her or his situation.

As soon as the representants find their place in the room we will witness how the relations between the invited aspects unfold. Often this leads to a surprising insight and this makes an appropriate response possible. Such responses can be 'tested', as to see how an environment might react to a change in the existing coherence patterns between individual members. ​The constellations are representations and offer a way to explore authentic responses, which are often buried under secondary reasoning.

​

​The constellation work as I facilitate it applies a slow unfolding.

This approach gives all representations and expressions the time to surface towards awareness, this allows for all the time needed to grasp the full perspective. One hears often about constellation work that no one really knows how it works; however, I believe that  it is very well possible to explein it; in fact there is a great logic in its 'mechanics'. Such and other explanations are dealt with in workshops which includes introductions, exercises and of course constellations. I feel that it is essential to understand this beautiful work as much as possible. ​

​Often asked: "Why are PureCranio and Systemic Work combined?"

Systemic Work, or probably better known as Systemic Family Constellation Work, is a special modality based on Phenomenology, a science in Observation. Edmund Husserl  described a basis for transcendental conscience around 1900 and this led to groundbreaking scientific studies into the existence of the 'Knowing Field'. Around 1960 Virginia Satir established recognition for her Family Therapy. From the 1970's on Bert Hellinger developed Family Constellations which grew in its application far beyond the core family therapy. Many therapists and practitioners from various modalities followed and furthered the development with Stephan Hausner being one of the most well known facilitators. ​The history of systemic work is a long history. Even Husserl didn't have all his insights by himself. It is very interesting that scientists and practitioners merged their knowledge into a practice that ultimately unsettled classic science.

​

Where is the link with PureCranio?

Craniosacral therapeutical techniques were at first an integrated but lesser described part of Andrew Taylor Still's Osteopathy, became with William Garner Sutherland the better known Cranial Osteopathy and developed via the Upledger approach and the BioDynamic approach into a therapeutical discipline on its own and recognized worls wide.

​

Within the PureCranio sessions during the 30 years of my practice it became soon clear that clients come because they cannot find an answer to their quest for a better quality of life, be it because of a physical or more mental problem. With cranio we could indeed solve many such issues, be it temporarily or permanent. But if a solution becomes permanent it is always because the client has gone through a deeper release than only physical. 

​

We turned it 'around' and started to explore via the possibilities which cranio offers to explore the intentions which cause the physical responses, thoughts, questions, statements. Very often we 'landed' in the complexity of family life. It became possible to integrate such deep searches in solving physical complaints or at least in improvement. Often it worked, but not always. Then we would set up a systemic constellation with a group of representants for aspects of the request from the client. This often had the effect that the client not only sees the request in a wider perspective but also becomes capable to deal with the underlying primary feelings towards the causal situation. We do trust what happens in the 'knowing field' that appears through the representations, if we give it all the time it needs to unfold. After such work the physical problem often improved, and certainly became better addressable, solvable, in combination wirh cranio.

​

Our systemic constellation work is based on a sensitivity developed during years of experience and deep observation both in purecranio, in systemic work during cranio sessions and in systemic constellations with groups.
