Family constellation is a phenomenological approach devised by psychotherapist Brett Hellinger in the 1980s.

It is a subtle but powerful technique, based on spatial transference, which allows to identify blockages in the family, marital, social, cultural, economic system, and release them by recognizing items that have been forgotten, unseen or hidden in the field of the advisee.

The constellative session enables access to and acknowledgment of internal systemic information, from the unconscious to the conscious, thus creating a new flow, a natural systemic order, and healing for all the layers within us, and for the relationships in our lives.

Masks

Masks play an important role in many carnivals and different cultures. The mask allows a person to undergo a metamorphosis. By wearing of the mask, he drops his every-day, social, familiar identity, which limits him so much in its rules and habits, and sails into completely different realms of existence.

The mask is the instrument through which the actor's voice is heard. The magical power of the mask is inexplicable. It's amazing to discover how much the body language changes the moment the mask is worn. Anyone who has worn a mask will testify to the quick and strange effect of this action: You disappear, and immediately appear in a new, wild, liberated, different, or even opposite form of yourself.

We all have a basic need for belonging, it's part of our biological survival mechanism, we depend on each other to exist and survive. Therefore, one of the most common fears we all have is the fear of rejection, the fear of not belonging, followed by the fear of revealing the authentic self. This is the reason why we wear different masks throughout life, to adapt ourselves to the environment.

The masks we wear during life also have important and healthy functions for us, for example, politeness and refining our expression in front of others. It is a social skill that benefits us in the way we communicate with the environment. On the other hand, there are situations in which the masks interfere with our conduct in life, and distance us from ourselves in such a way that what we invite into our lives does not correspond to our real and natural needs, and under such conditions, life is much more challenging.

In the workshop "Creative Family Constellation the Masks in Our Lives", we will experience the exciting process of meeting the mask, we will explore what’s hidden beneath, we will elaborate on the topic of masks from all kinds of interesting viewpoints, and also a special session on the topic of secret masks
