Description

Community Constellations are immersive experiential workshops facilitated by Licensed Therapist & local community organizer, Chelsea Green, owner of Anu Beginning Therapy, LLC. These groups are also known as Family Constellations, or Systemic Constellations, by the way they help us see more clearly the systems in which we live. Constellations can be helpful because they offer an approachable container for observing what may have once felt too close, too blurry, too uncomfortable, or too overwhelming.  When we are too close to a situation, we can't see it clearly. During a constellation session, we get to see what someone else would do in our shoes -- this alone can help shift our perspective on longheld beliefs or relationship dynamics. This event will take place at on Thursday, August 4th, from 6pm to 7:30pm at Hampton Park Gazebo, 30 Mary Ader Avenue, Charleston, SC. Bring a foldable chair, blanket, bolster, bug spray, or any other item(s) you will need to be comfortable outdoors. ***Please Note: Hampton Park PARKING will be closed to walkers/runners until 8pm this Thursday, but you can find free parking along the nearby residential streets after 6pm.*** What is it like to participate in a constellation? Constellation sessions begin with a brief conversation between the facilitator and one group member who volunteers to be the 'identified client' for that session. During this conversation, the facilitator seeks to understand the client's intention for the session. Once the facilitator has gathered enough information to begin, the client is invited to choose representatives for the family members or entities that are relevant to the situation. This looks like the client asking participants from the group to stand in and represent different members of their family/system. What begins to develop is an external representation of the client's family or other system. From this start, what was previously an internal image begins to draw out insights for the client and the group. As the Constellation progresses, new insights and information may emerge while the facilitator guides the representatives to explore different areas of the client's system. These sessions typically come to a resolution by finding the constellation or shape that restores order, a sense of safety, love, strength, or gratitude within the client and other group members. We come to Community Constellations not to gain more knowledge, but to have an experience that - if we're willing - can change us for the better. Tickets are always FREE, but spots are limited! We meet on the 1st Thursday of every month from 6-7:30pm.
