In working with several
thousand family systems, Bert Hellinger
has uncovered what he describes as the
age-old Orders of Love, which are deeply
embedded in the unconscious of family
groups. This forgotten knowledge,
rediscovered and refurbished, is so
compelling that it can change people’s
lives. Disturbances to the Orders of Love
in previous generations will inevitably
affect the lives of both concurrent and
future generations. When this profound
influence is understood, individual
suffering is revealed in a whole new light
- and so is healing. This workshop will
show how love, even when damaged and
misdirected, can be transformed into a
force for healing.
A
key tool for restoring the Orders of Love
in a client's family system is Bert
Hellinger's unique application of the
Family Constellation method. Workshop
participants may have the opportunity to
experience their own family constellation
and serve as representatives of family
members in other participants'
constellations -- an experience that is in
itself powerful.
Unlike traditional forms
of therapy, this approach looks at the facts
of life and death stripped bare, avoiding
any defences, distortions or denials. John
Payne facilitates in a way that is gentle,
honest and built on unwavering compassion,
while addressing the most difficult problems
that individuals and couples can face.

Testimonials >>>
Some say this work defies
description and must be experienced. Others
say it is beyond therapy, embodying a
collective presence we have not consciously
met before. Seasoned therapists are amazed
by the efficiency of the method.
Participants often leave with a
life-altering understanding of themselves,
the power of love, and the forces that
govern human relationships.
Family
Constellations workshops are
designed for individuals and couples who are
seeking ways of working with difficulties in
their lives, whether manifest in physical
illness or in disruptive life patterns, as
well as therapists and health care
practitioners and who are looking to expand
the way they work with their clients. Anyone
can benefit.
Why
You Can Benefit
In almost every family
there are things that have happened that can
disturb the harmony of the family. It is
important that no one is ever forgotten or
shut out of a family. On every level there
is a need for balance between giving and
receiving (between individuals, families
& larger groups such as nations).
Children can become
entwined in the emotions and trauma’s of
another member of the family and take them
on as their own. Plus, there are certain
events that have a deep residual impact on
family members, such as:
- An
early death of parents or
grandparents
- Tragic
accidents where a member of the
family has died

- Divorce
- Miscarriages, Stillbirths, Abortions, Death of a Child
- A
member of the family forced into the
role of “Black Sheep"
- War
- Holocaust
Survivor Guilt/Loss
- Descendents
of Jewish Pogroms
- Descendents
of African slaves
- Adoptions
- A
mother that dies during childbirth

The
Method
A
Family Constellation
is created where members of a group are
asked to represent members of a family.
Everyone is intuitively placed in a
position, including an individual that takes
the place of yourself whereby the family
constellation comes to life. Those who
represent family members begin to feel the
emotions, fears and desires of the persons
concerned.
Through this method
disharmony comes to light. In a very
remarkable and astounding way, the true
story of the family is expressed and clearly
seen for the first time. With participation
by those who ‘play’ the roles of others,
the family constellation becomes a
deep experience. Many people report
recognizing situations they represent but
are surprised at how intense the experience
can be. Irrespective of your age, each of us
is a child, and what a child wants more than
anything else is to find harmony within the
family.
