Intro to Family Constellations: Releasing Ancestral Burdens and Reclaiming Support
November 13, 2025

This workshop is an experiential primer in Systemic Family Constellation work. As both a philosophy and a process, this modality offers a systemic lens through which to understand both intergenerational trauma and intergenerational fortitude. Systemic Family Constellations is based on the principle that both our challenges and our strengths have a lineage. In this work, we aim to support clients as they leave behind what hinders their growth, and reclaim what supports it. In this live, interactive workshop, participants will have the opportunity to experience the  process of Family Constellations for themselves.
