Systemic & Family Constellations Circle: Live Online Workshop with Katie Despres

There are patterns in our lives that don’t always begin with us.

Ways of relating, reacting, holding ourselves or others — often shaped by family, culture, and experiences that came before us.

Systemic & Family Constellations offer a way of exploring these dynamics in a direct, experiential way — not through analysis, but by seeing what is already at play beneath the surface.

For those on a path of inner work, this can offer a different kind of insight — one that is relational, embodied, and often unexpected.

This is a live, online group workshop

We will be working together in a shared field, even across Zoom , something many people are often surprised to experience as tangible and connected.

How the evening works

– We will run two constellations
– Everyone present will be invited to take part in some way
– Anyone who feels ready can put their name forward to bring an issue
– If more people come forward than we have time for, names will be selected at random

This way of working keeps the space open, shared, and non-hierarchical.
Rather than separating roles or prioritising certain places, we work as a group and allow the process — or “the field” — to guide what is ready to be seen.

A shared experience

In this approach, there is no fixed distinction between “issue holders” and “participants”. People often come expecting that bringing their own issue will be the most impactful part — but many find that representing in someone else’s constellation, or simply witnessing the work, brings equally powerful insight and movement.

Each constellation tends to touch something that is relevant not just to one person, but to the group as a whole.

Representing (no experience necessary)

You don’t need any prior experience to take part.
As a representative, you may be invited to stand in for a person, relationship, or element within someone’s system.
There is nothing to perform or get right.
You’ll be gently guided to notice what you feel, sense, or become aware of.

Bringing an issue

If you feel drawn to bring something, you don’t need to have your whole family history worked out.

A simple place to begin is:
What feels stuck, unclear, or unresolved?
What would you hope could shift or move?

That is enough.

For those familiar with psychedelic work

Constellations can offer a complementary way of working — helping to explore and integrate what may already have been seen or felt, but not yet fully understood or embodied.

They can also stand entirely on their own as a powerful process of insight and change.

You are welcome to join if you are

– Curious about constellations
– Navigating a personal or relational challenge
– Interested in experiential group work
– Exploring patterns that feel bigger than the individual

You are also welcome to simply observe at times — participation is always optional.

A shared, open space

This workshop uses a single price structure to support an open, shared space where all participants are equally involved in the process.

Important

– The session is not recorded
– Confidentiality and respect are central to the space
– You can participate at your own pace
- Being in a quiet private space and remaining for the whole session
– No experience is necessary

If you have any questions before attending, you are very welcome to reach out directly.
