A four-day trauma-informed intensive
A four-day, trauma-informed family constellations intensive. Limited group size.
A trauma-informed space, paced to what you can hold, to slow down, experience, and deepen your understanding of how trauma and systemic dynamics shape the way you live, relate, and work. Four days, the same group throughout.
Learning through lecture and reflection.
Practice you feel in the body.
Small-group constellation work.
Large-group witnessing and transformation.
Constellations in a nutshell
A way of looking at a difficulty in the wider system it belongs to. Instead of only talking about what is happening, you give the important people or elements a place in relation to one another, so the pattern becomes something you can see and work with.
Constellation work grew from systemic family therapy and several therapeutic traditions in the second half of the twentieth century. The team works systemically and phenomenologically: starting with what is actually there, reading the relationships between the parts, and staying curious about what the picture might mean.
You begin with a question, difficulty or something you want to change. The people or elements that belong to it are given a place. From there, you look at the relationships, test small movements and follow what changes in the system.
For a constellation, you will need 3 things: a question or issue you want to explore, a goal you want to work towards, and the relevant facts about your life and family history. You do not need to prepare the whole story; what matters is the information that connects to what you are working on.
You can understand a pattern very well and still find yourself living it. A constellation lets you work with it as an experience, not only an idea: seeing the relationships, feeling different positions and trying what happens when something changes.

Is this you?
You can't quite articulate what's bothering you.
An embodied, lived understanding, not only an intellectual one.
You feel stuck in repetitive thinking, with nothing changing.
Witnessing the dynamic in action: less self-blame, more agency.
Relational dynamics feel overwhelming and murky.
The pattern becomes legible, and less oppressive.
Before you decide
Clear structure, respect, and attention to pacing, so you won't be overwhelmed or disrespected.
Cecilia, Simon, Anca and Xilo together, so you receive personalised attention across four days.
No forced participation. You choose how far you go, always with your consent.
Transformation happens through shared witnessing rather than in isolation, with the group holding each constellation alongside you.
Trauma operates both individually and systemically. The impact reaches into your body, your relationships, and across generations in your family. Four days gives a constellation room to move at that depth, rather than staying on the surface of understanding.
Between constellation work, learning, and reflection, you have time to arrive, to set up your own work without hurry, to witness the others, and to let what you've seen settle before you carry it home.
An international, multicultural group of people seeking personal growth and understanding. Some come with therapy or coaching backgrounds; others are simply curious about their own systems and how they work. What draws everyone is openness to trauma-informed work, to witnessing others, and to what it takes to belong to yourself.
Inside a constellation
Every constellation is different, but the process has a recognisable shape from the first question to the closing.
Stage 1 of 4
You begin by talking through what you are bringing. The facilitator helps you find the question or issue you want to explore, the goal you want to work towards, and the relevant facts from your life and family history.
Stage 2 of 4
You then set out the people or elements that belong to your question, in the room, with members of the group taking their places as representatives. As the representatives take their places, you can begin to see the relationships and dynamics in the system in front of you
Stage 3 of 4
The facilitator asks representatives what they notice from where they are standing and follows what begins to emerge. Positions can change, movements can be tried, and different possibilities can be experienced as the picture develops. You stay involved throughout, watching and responding to what happens.
Stage 4 of 4
Towards the end, it comes back to you. You may step into the constellation yourself, experience the new picture directly, and take time to notice what has changed. We close carefully, leaving space for the experience to continue settling afterwards.
Who is in the room
There is the person bringing the question, the facilitators, and the representatives who take places in the constellation. Across the four days, you experience the process from different positions as one constellation gives way to the next.
A constellation set out in a room: one person working on their own question, one holding the process, and the rest standing in for the people the question is about. In this intensive the same scene is worked with the same group throughout the four days, each person taking their turn.
The person whose question it is, that is you. You set the goal in your own words, you place the people who matter, and you decide how far the session goes. What is asked of you is to notice what you feel from where you stand.
Your facilitators hold the direction and the pace, ask what you notice, and offer experiments you can try when you are ready. What the picture means stays yours to decide. Four facilitators work across the four days, and the four days are built to run with a team rather than one person alone.
The ones standing in for the people in your question. As a group, you report what you feel from inside a position: sensations, impulses, where their eyes go. The focus is always on the experience, on what is felt, rather than on interpretation. Anyone can step out of a role at any moment, and everyone is thanked and released by name at the end.

Cecilia provided a safe environment for all of us to open up and share the most that was necessary for true healing.
