Open Floor Movement Practice + Systemic Constellations workshop
with Deborah Lewin + Liane Maitland
The roots of the issues we struggle with the most lie deep in the unconscious of our wider familial, social and cultural systems.
Join us for an exploration of how intergenerational family narratives inform our every day, and how we can free ourselves from the hidden dynamics which contribute to keeping us stuck in a familiar story.
Explore:
A systemic constellation, sometimes known as a family constellation, is a creative way of addressing a wide range of difficult issues in relationships, families, at work, with health or other challenges. The approach involves taking the widest possible view of a situation through the creation of a ‘human map’, providing a different perspective on a persistent story. We consider loyalties to those who came before us (our parents and ancestors), how they help and hinder us, and how we can move forward freely.
Throughout the day we will listen deeply to, and learn to trust, the information we receive from our somatic body.
We will explore these issues through movement, music and spoken word; individually, in small groups and in the larger group. We will experiment and play, wonder and share, and we hope you will join us!
Who the workshop is for:
This workshop is open to anyone aged 18+ who is familiar with and / or curious about embodied movement and how the blessings and burdens of their ancestral lineages influence them.
Although experience in embodied movement or constellations is not necessary, at least one embodied movement practice class is recommended in advance if possible, further info here. If you are not familiar with systemic constellations, further info here.
The Shape of Our Time Together:
There will be time to move, reflect and engage with others both verbally and non verbally.
There will be guided input from Deborah and Liane, and space for your own exploration - individually and in small groups.
We will also have one whole group constellation.
We will close the day with embodied movement to help metabolise all we have explored.
