What is a Representative?

Attending a workshop as a representative is a wonderful, experiential way of understanding the process of constellation work and also a way of tapping into your own family or relationship situation. As a representative you will gain many insights into your own life situation and family dynamics. Many people report great shifts or awareness raising of their own situation from standing as a representative in a Constellation.

A Representative is someone who attends a workshop as support to those who will do their own constellation. A representative does NOT set up their own constellation. As a representative you will be chosen to be a representative in a constellation. Being a representative means that you may be chosen to represent a member of a Constellators family or work system. You could be asked to represent a father, mother, son, daughter, sister, brother etc. As a representative in a workshop you would be placed in a position in the working room by the constellator. You will then be guided by the facilitator through a body based experiential process.

Anyone can be a representative and this does not require any special skill or knowledge. It is a simple exercise of body awareness which is guided by the facilitator.

"Each constellation offers an opportunity for finding new insights and helps the participant to accept the complexity of human experience. Even a participant who has not had the chance to be a representative will return home a changed person." From "Images of the Soul" by Daan Van Kampenhout

Impressions

Something inside me is not quite the same. I do feel different, more at peace and more calm. I also seem to be more accepting of myself. - Workshop Participant
