Systemic Family Constellations Workshop - Cornwall

This in-person day offers a unique opportunity to explore the hidden dynamics of your family system and uncover unconscious patterns that may be affecting your life. Whether you're new to constellations or already familiar, you're warmly welcome. The workshop takes place in the beautiful Scorrier House and offers a supportive space for personal insight and deep connection.

What is Systemic Family Constellations?

Systemic Family Constellations is a powerful, embodied process for exploring personal and ancestral issues. Developed by Bert Hellinger and colleagues, this solution-focuses approach draws on traditional Zulu wisdom and reveals how unresolved trauma, loyalties, and entanglements in our family systems can shape our lives.

Constellations work with the felt and often invisible wounds of transgenerational trauma. Through a process of radical inclusion, they reveal hidden dynamics—missing elements, entangled patterns, and systemic imbalances—and open pathways towards resolution and healing.

The work is grounded in the ‘Orders of Love’: Place, Time & Space, Belonging, and Exchange. When these principles are disrupted, imbalances can echo across generations and create challenges in the present.

Constellations engage the body, heart, mind, and soul to bring into view what needs to be seen, honoured, and given its rightful place. They help shift stuck patterns, release what isn’t yours, and offer new possibilities. By seeing the bigger picture and accessing deeper resources, you are supported to restore balance and step more fully into life.

What happens in a workshop?

We begin with a short grounding practice. If you'd like to explore a personal issue, you may offer your name to be drawn as an issue holder. Typically, we explore 3–4 issues during the day.

Each constellation starts with a brief conversation between the facilitator and the issue holder. Group members are then invited to stand as ‘representatives’ for people, places, or elements of the issue. As they take their positions, a living map of the system emerges. Insight arises through the ‘knowing field’—an embodied field of awareness accessed through presence, sensation, and subtle feeling.

There is no acting or storytelling. Representatives simply report their internal experience—emotions, sensations, movements—which helps bring unconscious dynamics into view and opens the way for resolution and healing.

The workshop takes place in a supportive, inclusive space where everyone participates—whether as issue holder, representative, or witness. The experience is often profoundly moving, respectful, and quietly transformative.

Important information

Constellation work can be deeply impactful. Please contact us in advance if you have any mental or physical health concerns that may affect your participation. This helps us support you safely.

Everyone will participate in some way. While only a few people will explore their own issues, many find the most profound insights come from representing or witnessing others' constellations.

No previous experience is necessary, and there’s no way to ‘do it wrong.’ All we ask is that you bring curiosity, respect, and a willingness to engage.

Testimonials

“I have found family constellation work both fascinating, enlightening. It allowed me to sit back and see an issue unfold to look at the root cause. It is freeing to realise the issue is not yours but something that has been passed through the generations."

"Alice is an exceptional facilitator with a wonderful ability to hold a safe, calm, space with a gentle, authentic and intuitive approach...I highly recommend you to experience Alice's expertise and guidance."

"My life has unexpectedly transformed from that event. I am utterly grateful for the opportunity to experience one of the most moving and insightful days that will go up there alongside all the huge life events and ceremonies I have ever been involved in.”

"There has been a monumental shift that I feel I have waited my whole life for … and it so unexpectedly happened in such a way that knocked me sideways, so beautiful and complex yet so simple.”

“I’ve experienced shifts every time in how I perceive my family dynamics, it’s been so helpful. And being a representative in other people’s constellations is powerful and incredibly moving. Can’t recommend it enough.”

“The workshop had so many like-minded people and I felt safe and comfortable and got a lot out of meeting them. It took time but the work we did has moved my family situation for me so that I am able to react differently and be more at peace with it”

“I’ve journeyed with others and witnessed and experienced huge transformative work that has revealed itself to all in the room, I feel we are active witnesses to one another and this feels very supportive.”
