Family Constellations Day WORKSHOPS
Sunday 3rd December, 11AM-5PM @ The Lodge Space, South London
1. INTRODUCTION TO THE WORK
Family Constellations workshops are an opportunity to give attention to issues that are ready to surface for you, and which may have their roots in your family system. This process is particularly useful in revealing what is not being seen or spoken, and working to resolve limitations in your life which haven't yet found a solution, despite your best attempts. The issues seeking resolution could be around relationships, health conditions, work, money, personal fulfilment or more.
Read more below, and join us for a deeply enriching process in support of your growth.

2. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A FAMILY CONSTELLATION WORKSHOP WITH JILL?
We gather in a circle, and typically start with a short meditation, introduction and orientation to the work, which includes creating a confidential space, and an atmosphere of embodied listening and presence in service of everyone's healing. The work is experiential and participatory, with a firm grounding in systemic principles. We move into some short exercises to allow the gathering of personal insights, then work as a whole group, with someone bringing a personal issue to be worked with. The rest of the group are in support, and may be asked to represent something on behalf of the person working. Each piece of work lasts around 20-90 minutes, so we should have time for four or more personal issues during the day together. Because of the nature of interconnectivity, everyone will be moved in some way by each other's process.
Jill has a 10+ year background in therapeutic yoga practices, and creating ritual spaces for tending to wellbeing. Her family constellations workshops are responsive to the needs of the group in every moment, and may include somatic practices, and sound or musical accompaniment.
3. WHO ARE THESE WORKSHOPS FOR?
The workshops offer wonderful insights for anyone interested in personal growth, and especially in the deeper dynamics of themselves, their families, their communities and the wider systems in which we exist.
They can be particularly helpful if you are meeting a repeating pattern in your life that you would like to see from a new perspective.
You do not need to have any prior knowledge or experience of constellations. Typically a group will form with a mixture of people who have never attended one of these workshops before, and others who have a little or more experience behind them. Experience won't necessarily benefit you as a participant, as the main ingredient is to show up as you are, with an attitude of openness to the unknown.
You should not attend if you have had recent episodes of psychosis, schizophrenia or other severe mental health problems, and should seek other specialist support.
4. HOW SHOULD I PREPARE?
The most helpful preparation is to become inwardly curious about the longing or change that you are seeking. Holding the intention in your heart is enough. For some, it might mean taking a moment to journal or reflect. You are very welcome to bring an object or image related to your life or ancestors to the workshop to be placed on the altar, but the most important thing is to show up as you are.
Please email jill@heartandroots.co.uk in advance with any questions.

KIRTAN & YOGA NIDRA
Friday 8th December, 7.15PM-8.45PM @ Yoganand Studio, Bristol
Another opportunity is here to come together with Mantra, Community & Yoga Nidra.
Kirtan is the devotional yoga of the heart. It's a calling out for the union we long to create within us and with the Divine. All the chakras receive a little inner sonic massage through the practice of mantra, and it can be particularly reconnecting for our hearts and throats, which are so easily closed off in different ways. The sound of the harmonium is earthy and soothing, taking us out of our heads and back into our bodies instantly. A beautiful accompaniment to any Asana practice, and a beautiful group experience in and of itself. We finish the evening with a restful Yoga Nidra practice. All are welcome, from the fully-inducted to the newly mantra-curious! |
