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

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
