Everybody has issues from their past. What is important are not the issues themselves, but how we deal with them. Our ability to be creative with what happens to us has more power than what actually happens. If we are healthy and dynamic, we artfully respond to life challenges with creativity, grace, and grit. However, if we get stuck in something, our creativity disappears and we get the feeling of being trapped; life starts to feel boring and repetitive rather than dynamic and fruitful. We enter into a state of degeneration.

This workshop focuses on learning to stay present in the here and now and move into generative states of being. Participants will have the opportunity to inventory their past, create tools for their present, and design a vision for their future. Gestalt Therapy processes and Lifematrex technology will be integrated into a springboard from which participants can leap clearly and powerfully into the New Year.

For Psychology students and professionals, there will be plenty of time for questions and answers with Morgan, as well as personal work within the group.

WHAT HELPS LOVE TO FLOW IN A RELATIONSHIP?
WHAT UNBLOCKS STAGNATION AND DISFUNCTION?

This workshop is based on concepts from Gestalt Field Theory and Bert Hellinger’s book, Love’s Hidden Symmetry. Bert Hellinger - a family therapist who worked with the Zulus for 25 years - has developed a deep understanding of Love’s Hidden Symmetry. This understanding provides a framework for restoring the flow of love, by gently moving from disorder to order in the way a family is connected. This flow is achieved without one’s actual family being present by using family constellations - a recreation of the pattern of one’s family of origin. Participants stand in as members, and the facilitator helps the whole structure to move towards healing.This work is profoundly moving whether watching or participating. It results in subtle and long lasting changes in relationship.

REASONS FOR ATTENDING A CONSTELLATION WORKSHOP:
-You will find a way to create greater harmony in your immediate or extended family.
-You will experience resolution of events that have caused blocks to love in the family.
-You will discover a new way to look at issues such as work, illness, and money.
-You will understand profound ways you are connected with your ancestors.
-You will feel lighter as you experience the release of burdens which have weighed you down.
-You will learn about hidden family dynamics from past generations that are creating current problems.
-You will experience a greater sense of belonging and an improved sense of well being and ease.
