SUMMARY:The Work of Byron Katie: Loving What Is (Part I)
DESCRIPTION:Time Magazine described The Work of Byron Katie as: “4 Questions to Inner Peace”. Through self enquiry into our beliefs they let go of us and what remains is the deepest truth of who you are – peace\, compassion and humility.\n‘I don’t let go of concepts\, I question them. Then they let go of me’ Byron Katie \n\nWhat is your most painful\, stressful thought that keeps replaying over and over again?\nHow would your life feel if that thought was gone…would you feel more joyful? More full of energy and connection and laughter? Who would you be without that thought? \nThe Work of Byron Katie is a radical approach that doesn’t have any answers – it has something better – the questions. People who use The Work experience extraordinary and lasting impact on their daily lives\, in their relationships\, career\, with their health etc. \nPart II explores: \n\n\nSaying “No” or “Yes” – Who is it I have difficulty saying “No” to or saying “Yes” to? What are my stressful thoughts?\nInquiry using The Worksheets\nDoing The Work of Byron on Myself – “I”\, personal stories of self\, body illness etc\nStressful Events – What were my motives? Why don’t I say “No” or “Yes” to myself?\nWants – Why I think I can’t get what I want? Practice asking\, beliefs that stop us….\nThe Gift of Criticism – Taking it deeper\, How to receive. What was it like? Beliefs appearing and enquiry.\nTurnarounds: Meeting life as it is\, my thinking\, shoulds\,how I drink in my thinking and much more

SUMMARY:Family Constellations: Combining Sensorimotor Art Therapy (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Experience Family Constellations using various props\, drawing\, plasticine to move in tune with your ancestors. \nOften we find ourselves reacting in ways that despite all the counselling we can not change. These behaviours act as a symptom pointing to what needs to be seen and acknowledged in our ancestry. Once seen we can live our lives with a sense of freedom and support from our ancestors\nFamily Constellations works with Systemic principles and it is not the form that constellations take but the principles that govern systems. \n  \nFor more information see link. https://student.awakening.com.au/course/family-systemic-constellations/

SUMMARY:Systemic Constellation Facilitator Training Part II: The Form is Not the Work
DESCRIPTION:This comprehensive program is unique as it moves away from the traditional master and apprentice style of teaching systemic work to creating a Learning Laboratory together. As educators (inspired and mentored by Dr Jane Peterson) we have broken Systemic Constellation facilitation down into principles\, working with people and practice. Furthermore we have broken down what you can see in the chair\, and on the floor through reading people\, attachment styles\, permission in the soma and much more. \nA new and exciting program that demystifies systemic constellation work. This highly interactive and experiental program ensures students learn how to read the client’s body\, understand the Orders presenting themselves and what each system needs to initiate a primary movement towards openness\, support and love again and inline with the clients intention. These tools ensure students as facilitators discover how easy it is to access systemic information quickly and clearly with astonishing results. \n  \n\nPART 2: THE FORM IS NOT THE WORK\n\n8 days in class training\n4 Individual Coaching conversations\n4 days Family Constellations Public workshops\n2 days Structural & in Minds Eye Constellation workshop\nInteractive Online Coaching Clusters\nOnline resources and in class resources\nUnit quizzes and support

SUMMARY:Family Constellations: Move in Tune with Your Ancestors (Brisbane)
DESCRIPTION:Often we find ourselves reacting in ways that despite all the counselling we can not change. These behaviours act as a symptom pointing to what needs to be seen and acknowledged in our ancestry. Once seen we can live our lives with a sense of freedom and support from our ancestors.\nDeveloped by Bert Hellinger\, Family Constellations evolved through setting up and observing constellations. He proposed that a ‘systemic conscience’\, family soul or Orders of Love govern families and systems\, supporting harmony\, balance and growth in families or systems such as schools\, organizations or communities. Conversely family constellations can identify any disruption in these orders of love creating imbalances or entanglements to the flow of love and support. This can appear as illness\, relationship problems\, emotional disturbances etc. \n\nMany of the problems we are experiencing in life and in our relationships are due to the fact that we carry the burden that one or more of our ancestors were unable to resolve at the time. Looking once again at what happened to those ancestors and giving now what could not be given then\, can lead to resolution and lifting of the old burden. To bring about healing we use our natural ability to resonate with the feelings of others to “bring back“ momentarily those distressed or excluded ancestors\, allowing them to “relive” and “resolve” their painful episodes\, undoing the present family member’s entanglement with that ancestor. \nThis is a method of looking at the entanglements\, lack of support\, no-flow of love and disharmonies within a family and the effect that has on us\, ie: depression\, anger or illness etc\, and restoring the gifts and support of our ancestors. \n\nFor more information go to: https://student.awakening.com.au/course/family-systemic-constellations/ \nTrainer: Brenda Sutherland

SUMMARY:Navigating Attachment Styles in Family Constellations with Brenda Sutherland
DESCRIPTION:“Your body is the family story”\nThe way we speak\, the way we tell our story reveals our family story and the difficulties of moving towards or away in our interaction with others. Our attachment styles tell the story of our systemic loss and trauma. Meeting a client’s attachment style\, despite being fluid depending on who you are interacting with\, creates rapport quickly\, gives therapists access to how to soothe\, how to interact with the client\, what to look for\, as well as address the fundamentals issues in the family story.\n* How do you soothe attachment styles and begin to work with these attachment injuries to change the way we interact with others?\n* What story is your attachment style trying to tell?\n* Discover our biggest attachment injury that no one talks about and how it changes the brain and nervous system!\n\nPlease bring plasticine and a board.\nWORLD CONSTELLATION DAY
