Constellating Systems Werkstatt
Welcome to this rendering of my decades in pursuit of Systems and Family Constellation Work.
From the very beginning, in 1990, I have combined biographical and systemic (ancestral/sociohistorical) trauma. My personal and professional investment in this methodology continues to be grounded in –and blessed by– 35 years of study, facilitation, and research. This has been a labor of (self- and other) love. It expanded my creative Systemic Imagination. This is the love of my life.
Six years of apprenticing with biographical, ancestral, and social trauma –– my own and that of my clients (1995-2001) –– became the solid foundation of my passion and skill to invite, meet and engage emerging trauma in the narrative (and the body) of my change seekers and their system(s).
Process oriented, and intentionally trauma sensitive engagement with a change seeking human (you?), invites their strength and collaborates with their tenacity. We honour what is –and was all along– right about the person and their way of ‘making it’. And, we find possibilities for change.
This shaped what my events offer you today:
You will experience a blend of the three sources my learning in service of mending (any!) broken connection was/is fed: My lifelong personal apprenticeship with developmental trauma (and its mending). My learning from many teachers, and their teachings. My grateful collaboration with many change seekers whom I had the honour to accompany.
The group (withnesses), myself, and a change seeker will enter into co-creation of a trusting, always unique space. bring a professional treasure chest filled with the leverage of good tools and the delight of playful toys. My indefatigable curiosity will help you to connect personal biography with ancestral narrative(s), and locate them within the greater Human Condition.
My own socio-historical location is my German origin and nationality. This makes me the descendant of war children (parents), and ‘war making’ adults (grand- and great grandparents.) They lived through –and partook in making– the events of the first halve of the 20th century. In the second half, in turn, their experiences (and their wounding) were formative for my life. Therefore, my passion for this work is informed by the horror of the time, the humanness of the inhumane, and by tenacity to survive. This, and my own survival tenacity, became inspirations to devote myself to show up for others and make mending possible.
In the process, shaped by each interaction with the work and my change seekers, I have become the ‘complexly me’, described as gentle, fierce, determined, supple, and more …
One participant, new to the method and my work, send me this after a weekend workshop:
“I just wanted to reach out to let you know how impactful last weekend’s workshop was for me. I didn’t immediately understand the depth of what we were doing, but by the end of the day on Saturday, I was blown away. Thank you for facilitating such meaningful work! I’m so glad I was able to participate, and I look forward to the next one!” (A.N., June 2024)
With that, I whole heartedly invite you to join me at an event.
The CSEvents Page
offers further opportunity to meet, share, nourish, and mend your BodySelfs. We visit families of origin, gently invite the ancestors, reflect and meet the ubiquitous presence of human pain, look for cracks into openings, break bread, and cherish the joys of being in community.
Join us! Together, we find and expand visions, possibilities, and staying power to contribute to the (many) Nested Worlds we all belong to. Participation also, on the whole, makes each of us a change enabler for loved ones, friends, colleagues, and within other systems we partake in. Together, we find, renew, and develop capacity and fresh ways to see and to be.
