Family Constellation Work

Some of our greatest difficulties (addictions, depression, anger, financial difficulties, illness) are taken on unconsciously as part of our hidden love and loyalty towards someone in our family. This can even go back several generations.

Through the constellation process, hidden dynamics are revealed and used as tools to bring balance back into the family system. By honoring each member’s fate without judgment, the orders of love are restored, allowing love and strength to flow, nourish, and heal your soul.

The Process

The work is done in a group setting where an individual chooses to work on a specific issue in his or her life. After talking briefly with the facilitator, the client is asked to choose people from the group to represent certain family members who are then set up intuitively in what is called a “constellation”.

All the representatives have to do is simply remain present to their experiences. As they are placed, a “knowing field” is formed and the representatives begin to receive actual feelings of the person they are representing. It is not role-playing and there is no acting out. The representatives just report their feelings to the facilitator when asked. From the information obtained through this process, family members who may have been lost or excluded in some way in the past are brought into the space. Through simple yet powerful sentences and soul movements directed by the facilitator, we move towards resolution. We become more able to enter strongly into own lives and hold our rightful place in our current family. Balance is brought to our family of origin, our work and our community. We grow free of burdens not our own, and are able to step into our future with strength and support from our ancestors.

The work was developed by renowned German therapist, Bert Hellinger. His best-selling books and videos and workshops are available through Zeig, Tucker & Thiesen – www.zeigtucker.com.

The facilitator, Helena Gorka has studied this work for 8 years with Bert Hellinger and other teachers. She completed an official two year training with one of the great German facilitators, Heinz Stark. She conducts regular workshops and Introductory sessions of the work in Newport Beach, California as well as other areas in Southern California.
