Family Constellations, How does it work, what to expect. I read once that it is a 'therapy beyond words', and that feels true. Here I do my best to explain how it works and what to expect and I address some fears you may have about doing this work. I also made a mistake, the term the 'knowing field' is credited to Albrecht Mahr, a German Constellator. It was Rupert Sheldrake, (not Franz Rupert 🙈), who related it to the 'morphic field', these carry patterns of memory and information across space and time. Perhaps another video for that one 😄 I also question my choice of Healing sentences that I chose as an example. I guess at the time I was just really struck by how both could be so true when I witnessed them in Constellation. The deep anger for mother and yet the longing that a child always has for mother. If you have any questions please post in the comments, or if it feels private Pm me here. If you missed my last post I am running three Introduction to Family Constellation days between now and Christmas. If you interested you can find more information on my website www.earthsoulyoga.com.

Family Constellations is a therapeutic approach that helps uncover and heal hidden dynamics within family systems that affect us in deep and unseen ways. Developed by Bert Hellinger, it was inspired by his experience of living with a Zulu tribe for 16 years in South Africa. Through the practice of Family Constellations Hellinger witnessed how our relationships, experiences, and challenges are influenced by the energies and unresolved issues of our family system—both past and present. Our happiness and our struggles are deeply interwoven with our family and those who came before us.

It is not a very well known modality so I will be sharing some videos where I will explain what to expect and how it works.

I have been training in Family Constellations since 2019. Although it will be the first time I offer this work outside of my trainings and practice group. For that reason it will be offered at a lower price than usual for these first workshops.

Dates for Family Constellation Intro Days 2025

October 4th
November 1st
December 6th

The first workshop will be €30, the following two workshops will be €50 each. If you feel called to do this work but cannot afford it please contact me.

They will run on Saturdays, starting at 10 and finishing at 5.30, with spaces for short breaks and lunch. The day will include a brief introduction to Family Constellations, guided meditation, sharing circle, simple exercises, rituals and space for personal constellations if participants wish.
They will be held in Wildwood Studio, Crossmahon, Bandon. A purpose built private space for healing work.

Cheeky pic of my Puppy Love Poppy.. though somewhat relevant as she is posing on my mat 😁 She does a lovely demo of downward dog for me every morning when I roll it out 😍 So this is the timetable so far. Somatic Classes will start on September 16th and Yoga will start on September 22nd. They will run in six and five week terms respectively. All based in Wildwood Studio, Crossmahon, Bandon. Some classes are half full already so if you want to be sure of a mat please do contact me soon. You can PM me here or contact me at 0857617258. For those curious and interested in Family Constellations, those dates, (a Saturday each month) will be out in the next few days. For more information on any of the above please see www.earthsoulyoga.com. It has been a drudge through the mud kind of feeling for me this year. September is bringing something lighter. I can feel it in the air and I gently hope. I am betwixt and between putting on an evening yoga class… I am wondering what the vibes are .. it would be a Monday at 6.30pm or maybe a Wednesday same time 🙈🤣 (I’m Libra rising for anyone astrologically inclined, indecision is my lived experience nearly all of the time ). If that’s something that sparks your interest please let me know. Thanks 🍃🙏🏼

So this is what I have been at mostly….Resting. 2025 has been a rough one. I had mentioned I might put on some Workshops or mini Retreats over the Summer … but to be honest I needed to Retreat. I needed to rest and restore. I could see some folks were checking in to see what was happening.... if you were one of those, Thank You. I will be posting soon with a schedule of upcoming Classes, Family Constellation Intro days and a ten week course in Meditation, Nervous System Awareness a Support, Embodiment and more.

“I am making a home inside myself.
A shelter of kindness where everything is forgiven, everything allowed—a quiet patch of sunlight to stretch out without hurry,
where all that has been banished and buried is welcomed, spoken, listened to—released.

A fiercely friendly place I can claim as my very own.
I am throwing arms open to the whole of myself—especially the fearful, fault-finding, falling apart, unfinished parts, knowing
every seed and w**d, every drop of rain, has made the soil richer.

I will light a candle, pour a hot cup of tea, gather
around the warmth of my own blazing fire. I will howl
if I want to, knowing this flame can burn through
any perceived problem, any prescribed perfectionism,
any lying limitation, every heavy thing.

I am making a home inside myself
where grace blooms in grand and glorious
abundance, a shelter of kindness that grows
all the truest things.”

You will have to forgive me. I will be on the rampage posting about the upcoming Healing Circle I am hoping to run. The honest truth is there was a crisis in my own family. My brother suffers mental health problems and he had a crisis recently. For those who know this in their own lives and in their own families you will understand the devastation, the ripple effect of distress that happens in a family. The last few weeks have been just that and to be honest I have been so shaken I have not been able to do anything other than try to settle my own nervous system and find some equilibrium within. I am beginning to round the corner with it. Because I have been so spun out I wasn’t able to promote a Healing Circle I am hoping to run. I honestly don’t know if this will come off the ground or if I am too late this time around, but I’m going to give it my best go. So here is a little blurb about it. (The link is in the bio if you would like to know more. Or if you know someone who might benefit please let them know. Thank you 🙏🏼 ) So here it is about the upcoming Healing Circle: An opportunity to share our Inner World with openness and kindness, honouring all that it is to be Human. Using Embodiment Practices, Somatic Movement, Guided Meditation, Ritual and Family Constellations we will delve deep within, tending to the life of our Inner World, to the whispers of our Heart and the call of our Soul. With the support of each other we find clear reflection and challenge, bringing us face to face with our relational wounds so that we may Heal. Ultimately in Circle we find our shared Humanity, the struggle, the despair, the rage, the grief and above all and underneath everything we find our Love. It is a restorative experience that opens our eyes to the Heart of our shared Humanity, restoring our Faith, healing our wounds and building relationships that are real and true. It’s on Fridays from 9.30 to 4.30 & it starts on March 14th if I can gather enough to make it possible. I’ll do my best and then see what the Universe has in store : ) Thanks as always if you have come this far 💚

I'll be posting here in the next few weeks, explaining a little about what Family Constellations is and how it can help to heal. I have been training in this modality since 2019, and at present I'm in a practice group with my fellow trainees as part of our ongoing commitment to being able to offer this powerful work in the world. It is not for the faint hearted, it is powerful and true and goes to the depths of our human experience, despair, rage, and grief. It also shows us the Power of Love, and it's calling to us all. It is difficult to put into words, and I have tried here to encapsulate some of the principles and workings of Family Constellations. In truth nothing can quite prepare you for the experience of it in a group. I remember when I first participated in a workshop around 25 years ago, with my then therapist John Cully. I was asked to represent the client, and also some of her family were also represented on the floor. John asked us to take a minute and just drop into our bodies. Within seconds I could feel a full on panic attack arising in my body. This is how the client was experiencing her life at that time, in a state of inner panic. No-one can fully explain the phenomenon, why it is one can embody the experience of someone they know nothing about. But it happens. The unfolding movements within the constellation, ' the knowing field' shows what needs to be seen and acknowledged. It includes the excluded on many levels. The parts we have suffocated away, pushed down and ignored in ourselves. Also the family members we have excluded or who have been excluded in the past. It will be part of the offering in the Healing Circle I am starting. The start date has been postponed to March 14th. It will include gentle embodiment practices in the morning, Yoga nidra, (guided meditation), a sharing circle and systemic rituals and personal family constellations. There is always a gift for us in representing for others and in witnessing. We connect more deeply to our shared humanity. To find out more please see my website www.earthsoulyoga. com.

There are spaces available in my Embodied Yoga Classes starting next week. In these classes I will offer the fundamentals of a yoga practice; self kindness, awareness of the breath, finding steadiness and ease in asana, (yoga poses) and in movement flows. I will offer a different focus each week, refining your awareness of your body. We will go deeper into the principles of yoga through the eight limbs of yoga, exploring the chakras, body mind centring, somatic movement, breath practices, sounding & meditation. I always offer variations and choice so beginners and experienced yogi’s can enjoy the benefits of this class. We will also explore how the practice can help us to regulate our nervous system & settle our mind so that we can find rest in the present moment, grounded and settled in the centre of our own being. I teach Hatha Yoga influenced by Body Mind Centring, Somatics & Functional Movement.
I am based in Wildwood Studio, Crossmahon, Bandon.
Gentle Somatic Classes have sold out. If you are interested in these classes send me a message and I can put you on a wait list.
