Clean Constellations

Please note that we need 10 people to book by June 15th to make this workshop viable.

Description

Clean Constellations is a blend of Systemic Constellations and Clean Space. In a constellations process, the client brings an issue and other people from the group are invited to become ‘representatives’ of various aspects of the client’s issue. These representatives are invited to express their experience of being in a certain space or role as the client’s system becomes available for observation, questioning and eventual modification. 

The process becomes a Clean Constellation when the facilitator:

• Generally takes a clean stance  - i.e. they are content to simply name with love and without judgement what they see emerging in the constellation
• Conducts the initial interview with the client cleanly
• Uses Clean Language when questioning the representatives
• Is timing their questions to be a good fit with what is happening for the client and the representatives 

Whereas a clean coach works with the client’s language (verbal or non-verbal) to help a client to access their own inner wisdom, a constellator works with what s/he sees, feels, hears from outside the client’s system and questions that. A client renounces ‘control’ over what is said and done by representatives in a constellation. (In clean coaching it often takes longer for the client to relinquish ‘control’ of what is emerging and to become an observer of his / her own system. 

During this 2-day workshop you will experience at least 4 systemic constellations either in the role of client, or as a representative in the client’s constellation, or as a part of a holding circle. The experience will be decoded in the light of 5 systemic principles emanating from Bert Hellinger’s initial body of work and developed by those who followed (Albrecht Mahr, Ty Francis, Judith Hemming, Jan Jacob Stam, Daan van Kampenhout to name a few). The experience will also be reviewed from the point of view of David Grove’s Clean Space work.

How will you benefit from this workshop?

As a client you will gain additional insight into an issue from a systemic point of view i.e. it may not be all about you.

As a representative you will experience the strangeness of embodying someone or something that you cannot have prior knowledge of. You will learn that all things and people belong somewhere and your ‘foreign’ experience is recognisable as belonging to the wider experience of humanity.

As a member of the holding circle you may remain neutral to what you see and hear unfolding before you but you will not remain indifferent. Your role may change at any point.

Globally you will enrich your understanding of how systems work and why they offer such a rich field of exploration. A constellation is just one tool that facilitates this understanding. Done cleanly, a constellation is a powerful way of working with a client that does not abuse their sovereignty but does challenge control of their narrative.
