About The Workshops

  • Using the principles of iRest non-dual (mindfulness) meditation and Systemic Family Constellation Mapping we create a living /moving map with other participants representing other people or parts of ourselves.
  • This allows us to explore the beliefs we may be caught up in by laying out the opposite thoughts and feelings we are caught up in.
  • We can then see the root cause of these unhealthy patterns, which may well be from old family dynamics that are being repeated within our lives.

  • Some of these beliefs and learnt behaviours may be deep rooted and have been continually repeated within the family.
  • By giving the limiting beliefs space and allowing them to be seen and heard means the unhealthy patterns of behaviour we are caught up can be integrated and fall away.
  • As a result, we can heal old unhealthy patterns, allowing our lives and relationships to flow more freely with increased awareness and freedom.

What To Expect In A Workshop

This felt experience process, can give someone a greater understanding of where the unhealthy patterns started which allows for integration and a healing of the wounded parts of ourselves for everyone who is there.

  • Attendees will have the chance to present an issue that they would like to work on.
  • Other participants are asked to represent either family members or parts / aspects of the person to allow a live map to be created.
  • The representatives find their place in the safely held space where a picture unfolds enabling the issue holder to see and feel the dynamics of what is going on more clearly.
  • The issue holder gets to visually see and speak with the underlying cause of the current problem to help understand what has been playing out in their life.
  • The representatives get the opportunity to feel what it is like being caught up in the dynamic, often experiencing their own entanglements and patterns.
  • The whole group, even those witnessing and helping to hold the safe space receives healing as their own patterns are reflected back in what is unfolding.

What Attendees Said

If you’ve got any trauma or deep seated emotional stuff, this technique is seriously powerful and effective

John

I found it very helpful in moving past some of the issues in my past, I'd recommend it to anyone. some of the biggest growth I've had in 8 years sober so I'm a big advocate.

Howard

I felt comfortable and in a very safe space and witnessed some powerful work that was held masterfully. In my work I felt held completely and was gracefully allowed to explore some deep dark places in safety.

Who Are The Workshops For?

Anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and any unhealthy patterns of behaviour they are caught up in.

These workshops are tailored for men committed to change and can be helpful for people dealing with past hurt and trauma that may drive addictions and unhealthy patterns of behaviour.

Often the men attending are doing other recovery and personal development work, whether that is after being released from prison, in addiction recovery or other men’s group work.
