Family Constellations Workshop
with Lutz Wesel
Sponsored by Richard Krijgsman.Venue: London, March 24th & 25th 2007
Family Constellations is based on the idea that a family is bound together by a group “conscience” or energy, which, if honoured, will allow love to flow freely throughout the system, supporting the health, vitality and freedom of its members. The process uncovers the hidden dynamics of families and its members in an experiential way, so that existing family energy can be observed and positive change can take place.
I first experienced the process in the summer of 2006 when Lutz Wesel, who trained extensively with Family Constellations founder, Bert Hellinger, gave a workshop in California. You can read more about my personal experience of this workshop by clicking here. I was so struck by Lutz’ gentle, healing presence and the elegant effectiveness of the approach itself that I have invited him to come to London in March 2007 to run a Family Constellation workshop. I am sponsoring this event because I believe it can help us all gain a deep understanding and connection within and between ourselves – both in our own family context but also in realizing our shared experience beyond our immediate families. I see this approach as an extension to groups of some of the work I have been doing with individuals and also part of integral medicine, or what Lutz calls the Pyramid of Medicine. I've prepared some background material, FAQs, and testimonials about this unique process to inform your decision to come to the workshop.
This is a chance for us all to continue and extend our journey of personal transformation in a safe, supportive environment at a workshop led by one of the world’s most experienced Family Constellations practitioners. If you are a health or NLP trainer or professional it is a chance to add a new dimension and new depth to your practice and to see one of the world's most skilfull practitioners at work. You can join us either as an active participant - for example if you would like to do your own constellatino, or a passive participant, for example if you would like to learn more about how this fascinating system works. Either way you will learn some extraordinary things.
“I have studied family
systems work with Bert Hellinger, the founder of family constellation
work, as well as with Lutz and Gaby Wesel. I felt very comfortable with
the way that the Wesels attend to Ecology as they work with family
constellations. Through adding NLP to Hellinger's concepts, they have
created a model that is even more dynamic and powerful. They are very
skilled as trainers and knowledgeable in such a way that safety is
created in the training room. I highly recommend their seminars to anyone
interested in learning more about themselves.” - Suzi Smith, Co-founder and Trainer, Anchor Point Institute, Salt Lake

relationship between a mother and daughter, a father and son or
virtually any other, sometimes unknown family relationship. What many
people do not recognise is that it can even be related to the past life
of someone in your family that is being “acted out” today. • You can resolve even chronic relationship problems quickly

What Hellinger understood was the way the family model or the family system works and he created a family therapy around this. You may find yourself experiencing relationship problems or feel that you can be more in a relationship that you sense may be connected with your family history – sexual relationships, child relationships, romantic and love relationships, even abusive relationships – all of these can be partly related to your experience of your family group.
Family Constellations works to solve relationship problems without the necessity of relationship counselling, family counselling, or giving you relationship advice. It can help to heal broken relationships in a unique way. And Lutz does his Family Constellations work, this form of holistic therapy, within the wider context of holistic medicine so his approach is complementary to other approaches you might want to consider.
